One Gospel
Paul begins his letter to the church in Rome with a few words that could easily be skimmed on the way to everything else: “This letter is from Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus.” Before Paul speaks about faith, belonging, righteousness, Israel, the law, or any of the questions that will fill the pages ahead, he tells us where his own life is centred. He belongs to Jesus. His life has come under the leadership of a King. That matters because the people receiving his letter were trying to work out how to live together when they carried very different stories. A Church Learning to Be Family The church in Rome had lived through years of disruption. Jewish believers had been forced to leave the city under Emperor Claudius, while Gentile believers remained. The church continued without many of the people who had helped shape its early life. Years later, Jewish believers were able to return, and people who had once shared life together were learning how to become a family again. You can imagine how complicated that might have felt. People returned carrying history, Scripture, traditions, and ways of understanding faith that had shaped them for generations. Others had spent years learning how to follow Jesus and care for the church in their absence. They had changed too. Questions of belonging were woven through all of it. Who gets to lead? Whose traditions shape the community? How do people with different convictions share a table? What does faithfulness look like when the person beside you sees things differently? Paul writes into that tension with his attention fixed on Jesus. “The good news is about his Son,” he writes. Jesus comes from the family of David, is raised from the dead, and is Jesus Christ our Lord. Paul then speaks directly to the Gentile believers in Rome and tells them that they too have been “called to belong to Jesus Christ.” The gospel announces that Jesus is King, and His kingship creates a family whose centre is Him. The people in that family still carry their histories, cultures, personalities, convictions, wounds, and experiences. They bring all of it with them as they learn to live under the leadership of Jesus. When Jesus Gets the Final Word We each arrive with a story. Our experiences have shaped what feels familiar and trustworthy to us. We have preferences about church, relationships, money, politics, worship, community, and the way life should work. We carry things we were taught, things we learned through experience, and places where we have been hurt. Following Jesus brings all of this into relationship with Him, where we keep learning what it means to trust His leadership with the whole of our lives. That invitation reaches into places we may barely notice. It reaches the conversation where we already know what we want the other person to say. It reaches the relationship where an old wound still influences how we interpret someone’s actions. It reaches the decisions we make with our time and money, the people we instinctively trust, the voices we listen to, and the plans we have quietly settled in our own minds. Paul’s opening words to Rome keep drawing our attention toward the same centre: Jesus is Lord. Jesus is King. His kingship does not depend upon our agreement, and we spend our lives discovering what it means to trust Him with the final word. That can lead us into some honest questions. Where does Jesus already have freedom to lead in my life? Where am I holding tightly to my own way of seeing things? Which parts of my story might He be asking me to place in His hands again? These are questions of trust, asked in the presence of a King who has already shown us what His leadership is like. The King We Follow As Romans unfolds, we begin to see the character of this King. Jesus leads through self giving love. His life carries the shape of the cross. He welcomes people into His family and teaches them to live with the same generous love they have received from Him. The gospel carries God’s saving power to Jew and Gentile alike, bringing people with very different stories into one family through faith. This begins to change the way we see the person across from us. Someone can carry a different background, generation, tradition, or set of experiences and still belong to Jesus. Someone can challenge the way we have always understood something and still have something to teach us. Paul himself longs to visit Rome because he expects encouragement to move in both directions. He wants to strengthen their faith, and he expects his own faith to be strengthened by theirs. A family centred on Jesus can carry that kind of humility. We come with something to give and with room to receive. When Jesus has the final word, we can loosen our grip on the need for everyone around us to confirm what we already think. We can listen with curiosity and allow Jesus to speak through Scripture, through His Spirit, and through people whose stories are different from ours. The church in Rome was learning to trust that Jesus was able to lead people who did not all see things the same way. That same trust can make room for us to listen carefully to Him and to one another. One Gospel Paul writes to people surrounded by competing claims of power and allegiance, then announces the good news of Jesus Christ. He describes this gospel as “the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes.” One gospel. One King. People with many stories learning to become one family under His leadership. That life keeps growing in us as we place another part of ourselves into the hands of Jesus. Our plans, ambitions, relationships, convictions, habits, wounds, preferences, and hopes can all become places where we learn His leadership and discover His faithfulness. Jesus already knows the whole story we are carrying. He knows where trust comes easily and where surrender takes time, and He continues to invite us to follow Him with all that we are. The question of who belongs eventually brings us back to the opening words of Paul’s letter. Paul belongs to Jesus. The Jewish believers returning to Rome belong to Jesus. The Gentile believers who remained belong to Jesus. Their shared life begins with the One to whom they all belong, and He teaches them how to receive one another as family. One gospel. One family. One King. And Jesus gets the final word.One Gospel

Freedom Feast
The Freedom to Feast 🙌 Jesus regularly shared meals with people. Around the table, strangers became friends, stories were shared, and lives were changed. We continue that rhythm each month as we slow down, share a meal, and celebrate the freedom He has given us. Freedom Feast is a monthly meal where everyone is welcome. Bring a main dish if you’re able, invite a friend, or simply come as you are. Enjoy good food, genuine conversation, and an unhurried evening where every seat at the table is an invitation to belong. Our next Freedom Feast is Saturday, October 25th at 5:00 pm. Everyone is welcome. Bring a main dish if you’re able, or simply come and enjoy the evening with us.Let Us Know You’re Coming 📅 Upcoming Dates — 4th Saturday of the month. October 25th, November 28.
