    We Are Made Righteous By Faith (Second Sunday Of Lent, March 5, 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2023
     | 2,124 views

    How would you like to take a test that had a different rule for success? Instead of so many points for an “A”, so many for a “B” and so on, the success of the test would be based on an “all or nothing rule”. So you would have to get a 100% to pass on every test every single day.

    WE ARE MADE RIGHTEOUS BY FAITH Text: Romans 4:1-5, 13-17 Romans 4:1-5  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. ...read more

    Last time we saw that the Law of God revealed that we were sinners.

    Rediscover The Power Of The Gospel In Revival Series

    What if God began to calculate your good deeds? How long would your personal tape be? What if He were to get a separate calculator out for the things you’ve done wrong, how long would that tape be?

    Every single Christian and every church will need revival. Revival is part of the pattern the Holy Spirit uses to reconnect you to the gospel.1 Revival and spiritual awakening is when a group of people rediscover the power of the gospel. Nearly every single person can look at church and conclude ...read more

    How does the life and faith of Abraham inform our faith and walk?

    What Makes Us an Heir of God? A Sermon for the Second Sunday in Lent Romans 4:13–25 NKJV For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

    Introduction To Romans 4 Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Mar 25, 2024
     | 987 views

    Five practical benefits of understanding Romans 4 are shared. The theme of justification by faith is contrasted with justification by works which is characteristic of false religions and cults. The grace teaching in Romans 4 is essential in evangelism and forms the foundation for Christian living.

    Today we resume a study in Romans that we taught in 2019. Five years ago, we expounded Romans 1-3 verse-by-verse with 35 messages. Those are available on our YouTube channel for anyone who wants to review them.i Romans is a book that cannot by properly understood without giving detailed attention ...read more

    Saving Grace Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 14, 2022
     | 1,389 views

    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

    There’s a difference between dead-end religion and living faith.

    I expect the issue of minimum wage will come up in Congress again this year. There are good arguments on both sides - Those who are in favor of raising it will argue, rightly, that you can’t support a family on a minimum wage job, and that people who “work hard and play by the rules” should be able ...read more

    God's promise to Abraham had nothing to do with any works he performed.

    4:13 “For the promise that he would be the heir of the world…” Heir of the world. This one man, Abraham, to be heir of the world?

    Legitimate Use Of Rituals Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 29, 2024
     | 619 views

    For a person to be declared righteous by God, rituals/sacraments are unnecessary. Justification is by faith alone. So, what is the value of rituals like water baptism and the Lord's Supper? Using Romans 4:11, this message seeks to answer that question.

    Intro Last week we expounded Romans 4:9-12. There Paul used Abraham’s experience to prove circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. In that study, we did not have time to talk about why God gave Abraham the rite of circumcision. If it is of no value for justification, then what is its ...read more

    Legalism Exposed Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 6, 2024

    This exposition of Romans 4:13-16 addresses the problem of trying to attain righteousness through good works. The law was given to expose our sinfulness and lead us to Christ for salvation. The deception of legalism is a problem that must be addressed.

    Intro Our text today is Romans 4:13-16: “It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is ...read more

    This exposition of Romans 4:16 celebrates the assurance of salvation by grace while encouraging believers to continue in the faith.

    Intro In Romans 4, Paul uses Abraham as a model for how to be saved.
