A wonderful passage, one that I often think of. And we have exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask or think. We have the unsearchable riches of Christ.

So anyway, Darrell, thank you for that, but we had a good QSO with Ron earlier in the net. Okay, any other check-ins, please come now. Alright, Peter says good morning to everyone and let's see, I'm just running through my SDRs here. I think I've got everyone there and let's come over to here and see what's going on. Yeah, we've got everybody. I don't see K9JOY, but anyway, we've got Dave, Whiskey 7, Charlie, X-ray. All right, give me one second and we'll get started. All right, this is WB7MAX, Mac Control for the West Coast Bottle Study. We are going to get started with our study. We are in Romans Chapter 15. And we'll be looking at verses 22 to 33. That's 22 to the end of the chapter. And what we want to do is look at this final section. Paul is really done with his teaching now in the book of Romans. And he's talking about his concluding travel plans. and what his intentions are regarding his immediate future. Paul was a man who always had a plan about what to do next, and of course that was always subject to the will of God. But nevertheless, he was someone who was continuing to press forward in ministry. And even though he had been ministering for many years, he was still plowing forward. But before we get started with our Bible reading, we want to open in prayer. And so Brian, K-7-Z-I-P, if you could open prayer for us this morning, that'd be great. Copy that. Let's speak with our Father. Father, we thank you for everything you do for us. We thank you for creating this day. We thank you for the opportunities before us that you'll provide us with today. Father, we ask that you equip us to take advantage of those opportunities for your will. Thank you for giving us everything, everything you provide, everything you will contain to provide for us. We thank you, Father, for blessing us, for reading your word today. We come together. We ask that you help us learn how to love each other more and love you more. In the name of your son, Jesus Christ, amen. Amen. Thank you so much for that. All right, we are going to read together. this section, Scott, in 7 N.T. I'm going to ask you if you would read, please. And Scott, I'd like you to read Romans chapter 15, verses 22 to 33. That's 22 to the end of the chapter there, Scott. Alrighty, and good morning, everyone. And this morning I'll be reading out of the New American Standard Version. Picking up our story in scriptures at verse 22. For this reason I have often been prevented from coming to you. But now, with no further place for me in these regions, and since I have had for many years a longing to come to you, and whenever I go to Spain, for I hope to see you in passing and be helped on my way there by you. When I first enjoyed your company for a while, but now I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints, For Macedonia and Archaea have been pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. And then verse 27. Yes, they were pleased to do so. And they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual things, they are indebted to minister them also in material things. Therefore, when I have finished this and have put my seal on this fruit of theirs, I will go on by the way of you to Spain. I know that when I come to you, I will come into the fullness of the blessings of Christ. Now I urge you. brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers and to God for me, that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may prove acceptable to the saints. What we have here is Paul talking about the conclusion of his ministry and his location where he's at and his plans for the future. All right, any comments on this section? Please come now with your call sign. Red XM. Kevin, KB7 Zedekson, go ahead. I'll get things started. Got a little bit of noise just came in here. But one of the, you know, so many times there's the obvious things that we see in the text. And as you pointed out, really kind of he's outlining a lot of his goals as far as travel plans and desires that way. But what I wanted to take note of is verse 32. And he says, where he says, you know, come to you with joy. verse of chapter 1 of 1 Corinthians, first verse of chapter 1 of 2 Corinthians, the first, you know, beginning of Ephesians and Colossians and others. So anyway, there's a lot of implication here but recognizes those plans are always subject to change by God. Because, you know, we plan, but we don't know what God's decree is. We don't know what His providence is going to be and turn out. And, you know, James echoes the same thing when he says, Go to now, ye that say today or tomorrow. We will go into such a city and continue there a year and buy and sell and get gain, whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. For when your life is even a vapor that appears for a little time and vanishes away, for you ought to say, if the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that. And so, yes, Kevin, we plan, but we always say God willing. And a lot of people used to sign their letters DV, which is D-O-V-I-N-T-E, which is God willing in Latin. And so there always needs to be this consciousness that I'm going to do this God willing. So, Kevin, great point. Thanks for bringing that out. All right. Any other comments here coming up? Papa Alpha. Papa Alpha, go ahead. Well, then, if I can pile on and shove this forward, how do we know the will of God, we ask ourselves. Well, we know the will of God by being in the Word every day and being in prayer every day, going to our quiet place every day, developing a spiritual walk, with our Messiah every single day, all day long. And then as this foundational principles are ingrained in us, then we start hearing what God's will is. And we shut out the noise of the world. And we focus down and drill down into the will of God. And that's the direction we go. And with that, he can bless us there, Max, in 7 MPA. We know that he went to Jerusalem, and he got imprisoned, and he finally wound up in Rome. But whether he ever made it to Spain or not, we really don't know. So you're right, Scott. We look into the Word of God. We pray for wisdom from God and direction. We go with what we believe God would have us do in His Word and what He has directed us to do in His providence and what we are led to believe in our spirit He would want us to do. But even that sometimes gets changed as providence unfolds. So, Scott, thanks for that. And, you know, as Kevin brought out so well, Paul over and over again says that he's a servant of Jesus Christ by the will of God. And, you know, in the opening of all of his epistles there. And so we just have this attitude, Lord, I'm yours. I'm at your disposal. What do you want me to do? And that's what I'll do. I perceive this is what you want me to do. I'll go do that. And Lord, trusting that if you have other plans, you'll redirect me. And so that's the attitude of a servant. And that's Paul's attitude, and it should be ours as well. Great comments, Kevin and Scott. Okay, other comments, please come down. PDI. David, KK7 PDI, go ahead. I love this passage, the section of Scripture, because it deals with, obviously, Paul's plan to visit Rome. But it deals with mission work, and I like that, because I've been on mission work, but it's not what I expected. Not in the least sense, I mean, I have some ideas what it would be like, but... to give you a real true appreciation for Jesus who came to seek and save the lost in our marching orders to take this blessed word, the bread of life, and to share it with others. But when you go to areas like Africa, when I was up there with the Zbinga and other places in Zimbabwe, and where you see the crosses of all the people that were killed, and you're in these areas that are very dangerous, but yet God is with you as you preach his word. and nothing can replace that. And then the brethren who came to your forefront and they brought you money and things to help the brethren over there. And when you experience that whole thing, it's an amazing opportunity for people. But it's not for everyone. I had a preacher... who was one of the best preachers I had a privilege to sit at his feet and learn. But he told me, he said, Dave, I don't know how you do it. I can't do that. But God gives to each their ability, and to use it to his glory is what it's all about. He will heal seven prophets. I'll be back to you, Max. Yeah, that's right. And thanks for pointing out the fact that God has a different will for different people with reference to providence. Now, God has exactly the same will for every single one of us with reference to his word. You know, we're all supposed to, you know, honor our father and mother. We're all supposed to, you know, not kill and not steal. We're all supposed to not forsake the assembly of ourselves together as the manner of some is. And we could go on. God's will is God's word. It's the same for all of us. But when it comes to individual ministries and individual callings, that varies all over the map. And we saw that in Romans chapter 12, where he says we have gifts differing according to the grace that's given to us. You know, some teach and some serve and some do this and that. And so you're right. God gives you the grace to be able to do what he's called you to do, but he doesn't give you the grace to do what God called somebody else to do. And that's, I think, what that preacher was really saying is that God has a calling for him. And in that calling, he performed with excellence. And you had a different calling, and in that calling you performed with excellence. But you couldn't do each other's calling. And so we have to recognize that the calling of one is not the calling of all, and it's okay that you don't do what others do, and it's okay that others don't do what you do in terms of your particular ministry and situation. Good comment, Dave. Any other comments? Please come forward. Is that XM? Is that XM? Go ahead. Yeah, very good point. And one of the things, too, regarding Paul in this context, I think from the very beginning, he understood, and this became, again, part of his foundation of his ministry, really. Looking in Acts 22... around verse 14, I think it is, where he, the mob, he's back in Jerusalem, and the mob is up ready to kill him for his testimony. And as he's recalling his conversion, he points out that Ananias, his encounter with Ananias on the way to Damascus, there are points unto him that the God of our fathers hath chosen you that you may know the will of God." And Paul lived in that. You know, very good point in conversation about knowing the will of God that we have in our lives. Some of it is very clear, presented to us in his Word. Some of it we discern in prayer and you know, such like that. But here Paul Again, I can't imagine the confidence, the comfort, even knowing the hardships that he faced, the trials he faced, even the threat of death when he was warned, please don't go back to Jerusalem. They're going to kill you. He was confident. It's okay. I'm in the will of God. Give yourself an example. Yeah, amen. And, you know, when you know you're in the will of God, you have a boldness and a confidence that is just unshakable. And that's exactly what Paul was doing here. He had this unshakable confidence that he was in the will of God, and therefore he could go forward with boldness no matter what the threats were. And, you know, we see our brethren doing that out on the mission field. smuggled Bibles into the Soviet Union when the Iron Curtain was down. Man, not everybody's called to that ministry. Not everybody can do that, but those who are, are able. So praise the Lord for that. Okay, other comments, please come down. PDI. PDI, go ahead. Yeah, just a quick follow-up, Max. This gentleman I knew, his name is Bob Buchanan, a Bowling Green contestant. He's a great preacher, but this guy was a modern-day, if you will, Apostle Paul. Paul, you know, had his four visionary journeys that he took, but this guy, I mean, I couldn't believe that he's been to Africa 33 times, in the remotest parts, the most dangerous parts of Africa, Nigeria, all those areas. And also he has been to like the Philippines 35 times. He's been to Dubai, he's been to Vietnam, he's been to China. He's been all over the world and he has done more missionary work than any man I've ever met. And I'm glad that I had him as a teacher. But at the same time, now his time is done. And he can't do it anymore because his health is failing. But for 45-plus years, all he did was take trips and missionary work. And when you listen to him preach, the man is just amazing what God has done for him personally. But now he's... he can't do it and I just talked with him the other day and it's just amazing what God will do with you but you don't know unless you take the effort and try and that's what I would encourage people whatever that ministry might be for you give it a shot and then see how that goes and how God will use you in that service. Keep them in step with Papa Delvin. We'll be back in a minute. Yeah, great comment. And I would like to acknowledge Philip K6HSV. Good morning, Philip. Good to see you there. Also, JRK6LBP. Thank you guys for showing up there on the SDR. Okay, back to your comment. Yes, you know, there's always a change in the guard. You know, people come and people go, but the kingdom of God goes on. And may the Lord be pleased to raise up a dozen Bobby Cannons to take his place. And, you know, as you said, you never know until you drop it. And I remember having young men come up to me in the church and say, you know, I don't know if God's calling me to preach or not. And I would say, well, then let's have you preach and let's see. And so I'd help them, you know, put together a message, give them some guidelines and whatnot. And, you know, one or two of them wound up going into the ministry. Many of them didn't. And that was okay, too. And so we have to test our gifts and see what God's calling is. see what his gifting is, and then go down that road that God has called us to. All right, real good. Well, there's a lot of other things in this passage. Any other comments on the other elements of this passage besides knowing and following the will of God, which was a great subject, by the way? Thanks to Kevin for bringing that up. Any other comments on the rest of the passage? Go ahead. Kevin, go ahead. Yeah, now I was just thinking, you know, what a huge, huge blessing it is to have that knowledge when you are in the will of God. It cannot be, I don't think, overstated. And we see the result of that, I think, in just this prior section of text that we read, you know, 17, 18, 19, where it talks about how God has used him, how he's given him the ministry that he's given him. calling, how he's functioned as a priest and lifting up the Gentiles to God, how he's had the confidence to go preach the word where no man has gone before, and how he has led so many Gentiles to Christ for the ultimate will, purpose of God. So we see the success, if you will, or the triumph, or the blessing of this knowledge. And for us, I know those of us when we light ourselves, I know when I was called to preach and pastor, I didn't want to really accept that at first, but it became at some point just undeniable that that's where God is leading you. And who are we? to get in the way of the will of God. And, of course, my role is different now, and as many of ours are. But just that knowledge, I think it's such a blessing. But I think it is accessible to all of us in the blessing of that, having that knowledge of being in the will of God, KB7, that except for us. Yeah, amen. And Paul had that confidence. You know, Paul was a pioneering missionary. And he says in verse 22, Well, he's preaching in Jerusalem. He's preaching in Antioch. He's preaching in Cyprus. He's preaching all across Turkey. He's preaching in Macedonia. He's preaching in Greece. He's preaching in Illyricum, and he's covered all that area as a pioneering missionary, and now we've got gospel churches established in all those areas, and now he's looking outward. Where's my next virgin mission field, a mission field that's never heard the gospel? That's where I'm headed. And so he wanted to go to Spain. where the gospel had never been preached. He was going to kind of skip over Rome. He was going to visit them temporarily, and then he was going to head off to Spain. So, yeah, here's a guy who knew what the will of God was for his life very clearly, and that was to pioneer new mission fields among the Gentiles where no one had ever heard the gospel before. And that's where he was headed off to. That was his calling. Well, it wasn't Peter's calling. Peter stayed in Jerusalem and shepherded the church there. pray or not only is he preaching but 25 through 29 concentrate on what he's doing on a specific travel and that is showing um it's showing how the community of believers is upholding each other so he's taking a gift a donation that one group of people um have taken out of respect for another group of people that previously said to have blessings and money and different things to them. So it speaks highly of what we should be doing with our other believers and supporting them. Yeah, Brian, great comment, and thank you for pointing that out. Yep, there's a reason why Paul's going to Jerusalem, and that's to deliver some money. to the saints in Jerusalem, because they're going through famine and persecution at the same time. And so they're really struggling, meeting their needs for their daily bread. And yet previously, the Church of Jerusalem had sent out missionaries to these people in Greece, And in Achaia, Macedonia is northern Greece. Achaia is southern Greece. And so the saints at Jerusalem had sent them the gospel, and now the saints in northern and southern Greece are sending money to the saints at Jerusalem. So, Brian, as you pointed out, there's this principle of reciprocation where if somebody ministers to me, I need to minister back to them." And it may be a completely different ministry. The saints at Jerusalem sent spiritual ministry to those in Greece, and those in Greece sent financial ministry to those in Jerusalem. And of course, Paul was conveying that financial ministry to them. We read about them raising the money in 1 Corinthians 16, and also in 2 Corinthians 8 and 9, where there was this collection for the saints. So this principle of reciprocation is one that the Bible is full of. We read that in Romans 12 and verse 1. I beseech you, therefore, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And so we see that all that God has given us, we want to give ourselves to him. And when another believer ministers to us, we want to minister back to him. It says in Galatians, let him that is taught in the word of fellowship with him that teaches in all good things. And so our pastors bring us the preaching of the word. We put money in the offering so they can have food on the table. And so there's this wonderful reciprocation that goes back and forth between the people of God as they minister to one another. And what we don't want to be is people who take and don't give. We all know folks like that. They'll take, take, take, but they never have anything to give back. Well, they do, but they don't want to because they're selfish. Let's not be in that category. When someone serves us in some way, let's serve them back in whatever way God equips us. And it may be something completely different. But, Brian, thanks for pointing out that principle of mutual love. which results in mutual reciprocation of mutual ministry, even though it may be different in kind. All right, other comments, please come now. Papa Alpha. Papa Alpha, go ahead. And we sit around the table and say, okay, what does that look like in real time? Well, to me, Max, what it looks like in real time is I come up here in the crow's nest, you know, at 4 o'clock in the morning, and I turn on my rig, and here is a dail. N5 DJV in Bonnerdale, Arkansas lifting up his brother Scott N7 NPA out here in Carl, Oregon because he knows I have cancer in my body and he's praying through the Midwest study that God will intervene and remove this cancer from my body Now, here's a brother. You know, I've seen pictures of Dale. Dale and I, we go back a decade or better in daily fellowships and prayers. I know his wife. I know of his wife, his kids, and same with me. But nonetheless, he is lifting me up in prayer. And I just turn the radio on, and there he is. Well, we fast forward to today or like a week ago. You know, I have a wife. Most of us do. Or a husband that's around the table. And we have a dear brother, Ron, who was on here earlier, WB0JAE in Mexico, Arkansas. And his wife is really, really sick. And we, all of us, can resonate with that, Max. And so we, in turn, are lifting Dorothea up to the Lord, all of us. You know, there's 39 of us this morning. Yesterday there was 41. And so that's impactful. God will hear that when we all come together and lift these prayers up. And then you take it, you, Max, and you, Daryl, both the team leaders that God has called you into this ministry to lead these different events. And you two have brought bread together, hugged each other, loved each other. You conversed together, sharing the different happenings that's going on within the Midwest and the West Coast Bible study. This is the similar things of what Paul was doing in print. This is what we're doing in real life here around both these roundtables, the Midwest and the West Coast Bible study. Back it comes, Max, in seven minutes. Yeah, Scott, what a great example of exactly the principle of reciprocation we're talking about here, where we bear one another's burdens at the throne of grace and so fulfill the law of Christ. And so one of the ways we can do mutual ministry is by praying for each other. I know you guys pray for me. I pray for you. Scott prays for the Midwest. The Midwest prays for Scott. And so that is a wonderful way to minister. And, you know, the other day, a bunch of guys from this net came and helped me get my antenna tower up, you know, and... And so I'm just so grateful that we have each other for mutual help, mutual ministry. Everybody brings something to the table that they can give to others. It's kind of like a potluck at church, right? One person brings a pie and another person brings bread. Somebody else brings a salad. Somebody else brings a meat dish. And somebody else brings the drink table. And you know, everybody supplied something and the needs of the whole body were met. And so we have that same thing in prayer, where each of us bring our prayers for this one and that one and the other one. And through that, all the needs are met. Okay, we're drawing close to our time. We have the vintage military radio net today, so our hard stop is 6:50, so we want to allow time for prayer. We do have time for a couple more comments on our passage. Any other comments, please come down. This is PDI. PDI, go ahead. Yeah, just one other comment here with regards to the passages that were read this morning in Scripture. And that is the preparation that Paul ensured that he had prior to going anywhere. Whether it was to Jerusalem, whether to go to Rome. all this missionary journey, all prepared greatly. And I think it's a good lesson for us that we need to make sure that we study God's word daily, that we prepare ourselves, that you're going to be involved in the Bible study in the morning, prepared the day before so that you have a good knowledge of what's going to be discussed so that you can contribute in a way that might enlighten someone or help to open their eyes a little deeper into the scriptures so preparation is so important yeah it sure is david and thank you for that encouragement that exhortation i always look over the passage the night before and say is there anything here that i need to do some reflection on before the net. So thanks for that. I just wanted to point out verses 30 and 31. Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake and for the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me, that I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judea, and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted. by the saints. And so this laboring together in prayer is such an important concept, and that's what Scott in 7NPA brought out a minute ago, that we pray together and for each other. And he wanted two things. Protection delivered from them which do not believe in Judea, that's the unsaved, and then that his service... would be accepted by the saints. Now, you would think he's bringing money to the saints in Jerusalem, and it would be no problem with him accepting that gift. But you remember who this gift is coming from. It's coming from the Gentiles. And we know the attitude the Jews had towards the Gentiles. We've been talking about that all in Romans 14 and the first part of chapter 15. And so it must have been a tough pill to swallow for the Jews to say, hey, we need help from the Gentiles. And so Paul's praying that they would accept this because in Christ, as we know, there's neither Jew nor Gentile. We're all one in Christ. And so there's no racial distinctions. There's no sexual distinctions. There's no national distinctions. There's no age distinctions. You know, we're all one in Christ, and we need to recognize that and embrace the ministry of one another, even though that comes from completely different backgrounds. All right, we are done. It's time for Al, KJ7QQH, to lead us in prayer. We're going to give him 10 minutes to do that. Any final prayer requests, please come down. All right, Al, KJ7QQH, go ahead and pray, and we're going to be done at 6.50. Thank you, Pastor Matt. Let me turn down my FDR here, and let's all come together before our Lord in prayer. Heavenly Father, we thank you for this study today, and we humbly thank you for it. of thank you for the technology by which we're able to continue the ministry that Paul started and we're able to continue what he used to take months to do, we're able to do in real time. And it's just still amazing.
