Romans 16 is the last and final chapter of this great book but is often treated by many like the credits at the end of a movie. You know, when you are not sure if you should stay and watch them or get up and leave. Please don't leave. Romans 16 mentions forty different Christians or groups. Paul wants everyone to say hi to. With it comes wonderful insight into the importance of the family of God. Elsewhere in the Bible, the term fellowship from the Greek "koinonia" describes the rich bond we have with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
Perhaps the greatest hindrance to enjoying church the way early Christians did is the changing church itself. With churches going the way of Costco, one can easily get lost in the crowd. One lady visiting a mega church described it as a concert followed by a lecture. We must keep the church small again, that is find some way to still have what the early church had amidst a changing culture.
