In Romans 16:1-16, the apostle expresses his appreciation for sisters who have served the church so faithfully. Pastor Paul van Engelenhoven preaches the role of women in the early church and sisters who have served faithfully: Phoebe, a patron of many; Prisca, fellow worker in Christ; and Aquila, Mary, Tryphaena, and Persis, who worked hard in the Lord.
“Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks as well.”
