Intro Follow with me as we read Romans 4:1-3: “What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, ...read more

Sermon # 26 - Faith Coupled With Obedience Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 11, 2025

Faith and obedience must go hand in hand if we want to experience the wonderful miracles of the Lord Jesus in our lives. The widow of Zarephath, Naaman, and Abraham are great examples of how faith in God combined with obedience can yield great results.
