Did you know Abraham wasn’t originally Jewish? Before becoming the father of Israel, he was a Gentile called out by God, making his story even more powerful for both Jews and non-Jews alike. In our next teaching, Decoding Romans Chapter 4, Pastor Jim uncovers the true meaning of Paul’s words by exploring the Jewish culture of the first century and how it shapes our understanding of faith, covenant, and righteousness.
Many have misunderstood Romans 4, leading to confusion about salvation and the relationship between faith and works. By looking at Abraham’s journey and Paul’s audience, we’ll break down centuries of misinterpretation and reveal the message Paul intended.
