The Gospel We Share
Do we have to get all cleaned up to be loved by God? This is an honest question asked by many in the depths of the heart. The truth is, there is no way we could get cleaned up enough to enter into God’s loving presence. But the good news is that we don’t have to. By faith, all men and women, every Jew and Gentile have access to the righteousness of God in Christ. However, this good news is only believed when someone hears it, and for that to happen, someone must preach it. This week, Fr. Ben Williams spends some time in Romans 10 as we continue to learn about the gospel we share.
The Faith of Abraham
Who was Abraham and why does Paul make such a big deal about him in Romans? This is a significant question when it comes to understanding the gospel. Paul points out that Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. When we think of righteousness, we often think about obeying certain rules and adhering to a set of laws. Abraham was counted as righteous 430 years before God issued the Law to Moses. This week, Fr. Ben Williams continues our series in the Book of Romans with a sermon on 4:13-18. We are reminded of the good news that we do not earn God’s love; instead, it is a free gift of grace.
