Saving Grace Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 14, 2022

1) Abraham’s justifying faith did not come by his circumcision (Romans 4:9–12); it did 2) not come by his keeping the law (vv. 13–15); but rather 3) it came solely by God’s grace (vv. 16–17).

Romans 4:9-17. 9 Is this blessing then only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. 10 How then was it counted to him?

Have We Lost Our Churches To Worldliness? Series

Contributed by Eric Agyei Febiri on May 18, 2023

Civil authorities and those in power now vote to decide what is sin and what is not sin, what is lawful and what is unlawful. And this has now crept into our Churches, but Church leaders ...read more
