Romans 4: Abraham and The Family of Faith
Scripture anchor: Romans 4:1–5; 4:13–25
Pastor Jo continues our series in Romans, taking us to Abraham to show that righteousness comes by faith rather than works, heritage or religious credentials. He unpacks the timing of the covenant story, revealing that Abraham received God's promise before the covenant sign of circumcision, proving that the sign could never have been the entry requirement, and that the promise rests on grace alone, open to all who share Abraham's faith. Pastor Jo anchors this in Jesus, delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification, and calls us to trust the God who gives life to the dead as we live as Spirit-filled people marked by resurrection power.
