9. Romans
15:14-16
14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my
brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with
all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more
boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind,
because of the grace that is given to me of God,
16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the
Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the
offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being
sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

we boast about?

11. Romans

17 I have therefore whereof I may glory through
Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those
things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to
make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the
power of the Spirit of God; so that from
Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have
fully preached the gospel of Christ.

in Jesus V 17-19

through him in bringing the Gentiles to obey
God’s word

region planting churches in significant
locations

13. Romans
15: 20 -21
20 Yea, so have I strived to preach
the gospel, not where Christ was
named, lest I should build upon
another man's foundation:
21 But as it is written, To whom
he was not spoken of, they shall
see: and they that have not heard
shall understand.

14. Passion to seek
the Lost
† Paul aspired to preach the gospel in places
where it had not been heard
† He was a true Evangelist not wanting to
build on someone else's work
† His strategy supported but Isaiah 52:15
“For what they were not told, they will see,
and what they have not heard, they will
understand.”

30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord
Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit,
that ye strive together with me in your prayers to
God for me;
31 That I may be delivered from them that do not
believe in Judaea; and that my service which I
have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will
of God, and may with you be refreshed.
33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
