Sermons on Roman Catholicism:

Be Subject To Governing Authorities?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

The Remnant Lives Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 24, 2021

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? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after, but before he was circumcised. 11 He ...read more
