Romans 16:1, 4

What women made an impact on Paul? In this devotional based on Romans 16, Pastor Gregg Matte highlights the women in Paul’s farewell address to the church in Rome. They who displayed a servant’s heart, hard work, a mother’s love, and more. These women honored Christ through their actions and set an example for us to follow.

Proverbs 31:10-31 describes a “virtuous woman,” an “excellent wife.” But the original Hebrew uses the word “Eshet Chayil,” which means “woman of valor.” Throughout the Bible, there are remarkable stories of women who were brave, strong, and steady under pressure. They were difference-makers in the world, and we can learn from their stories what it looks like to be a “woman of valor” today.

In this 13-day plan, you will study Romans 12-16 in an applicable, practical way that makes complicated theology accessible for everybody, whether you’re just curious about the Bible, a new believer, or a long-time follower of Jesus. We pray that God will speak to you through it.
