Unity in Diversity

A sermon on Romans 16:1–16

Romans 16:1–16 is a lengthy list of difficult-to-pronounce names of people who lived and died centuries ago. What can we learn from it?

In this sermon, Ryan explores what this passage shows us about the diversity and unity of the early church and what it means for the church today.

This sermon was preached on February 25, 2024, at Grace Bible Church in Escondido, California.
