Title: Faithful Workers
Bible: Romans 16:1-16
They are workers who are called equally, but some are used preciously, while others are
There are times when they don't. If there are workers who have been recognized for their work,
There are also unqualified workers. Therefore, it is important to be called, but even more important
One thing is to be a recognized worker.
In the text, we are referring to recognized faithful workers. These are Paul
Not only were they recognized, but they were faithful workers who were also recognized before God.
We can all follow the example of the recognized workers in today's text, so that faithful workers
it should be

There is. Phoebe is also a religious model for today's female butlers.
Even today, believers receive and respect each other with the faith that they are one body in Christ.
You must have a sense of body. Denomination or regional exclusion in the church today
The castles will have to be completely overcome in faith.
Paul speaks of Phoebe as my protector. This is what Phoebe was in society at the time.

It seems to have protected Christians.

His wife Prisca's name appears more often (Acts 18:18-19; 24:26, Romans 16:3,
2 Timothy 4:19). This means that the weight of the guide's faith is greater than that of the husband.
The couple, native Jews of Bondo, were living in Rome, where Emperor Claudius (A.
D 41-45), I met Paul for the first time after coming to Corinth according to the order of expulsion of the Jews.
Those who heard it and became saints. Aquila, like Paul, had the profession of making tents.
Because of this, the two could easily get to know each other, and after that, Paul's missionary activities
As a faithful collaborator, he spared no devotion to the service. Later, Emperor Claudius
Upon their death (A.D. 54), the deportation of the Jews was lifted, and the couple left Ephesus and returned to Rome.
I went. This couple accompanied Paul as he went from Corinth to Ephesus.
Their house soon became the church in Ephesus (Acts 18:18,26).
And these couples were versed in Christian truth enough to teach Apollos.
(Acts 18:26). These are what Paul calls co-workers. Christ
