Romans 4 Bible Study: Abraham, Faith vs Works, and Righteousness by Grace (Sermon + Discussion)

Romans 4 Bible Study: Abraham, Faith vs Works, and Righteousness by Grace (Sermon + Discussion)

In this sermon and group discussion, we study Romans 4 and Paul’s teaching on Abraham, faith, and righteousness. We walk through how Abraham was counted righteous by faith (not by works), what it means for righteousness to be credited by grace, and why God’s promise is sure for both Jews and Gentiles.

The conversation also explores related passages (including Psalms 32, Genesis, and more), the difference between God’s righteousness, law-based righteousness, and the righteousness of Christ, and practical reflections on trust in God’s promises while we wait.

Living Well in “Babylon” (Jeremiah 29) | Waiting for Messiah

Living Well in Babylon: In Jeremiah 29, God told the exiles in Babylon to build lives: marry, have children, plant gardens, and seek the peace of the city—not to withdraw or stir rebellion. That same wisdom applies today: while we wait for Yeshua’s return (we have signs, not times), we’re called to live faithfully, be productive, and represent God well in the world.

Recreating 1st Century Christianity: Church Councils, Sabbath Change & Following Yeshua

First Century Christianity: Why did mainstream Christianity adopt doctrines that conflict with the Bible? In this short, I share my journey after leaving Catholicism—examining the 300s church councils, how authority was claimed, and why changing the Sabbath matters. The New Testament model was simple: follow Yeshua, walk out Torah as He did, and test everything by Scripture. If you’re seeking authentic, first-century faith, this is for you.

Why are We First Century Christians?

Here are some testimonials from our congregation on why we are first century Christians and what that looks like!

Romans 2–3 Explained: The Law Reveals Sin, but Righteousness Comes by Faith

Romans 2–3 Explained: The Law Reveals Sin, but Righteousness Comes by Faith

In this Bible study through Romans 2:17–3, we follow Paul’s argument that religious identity and outward signs can’t justify anyone—God looks at the heart. The Law exposes sin and stops every mouth, but God’s righteousness is revealed through faith in Jesus the Messiah.

  • Romans 2:17–29: teaching others vs teaching yourself; circumcision of the heart
  • Romans 3:1–8: God’s faithfulness, human unbelief, and “let us do evil that good may come”
  • Why God’s wrath and justice matter
  • Romans 3:9–20: “none righteous” and how the Law defines sin
  • Romans 3:21–26: justification by grace, faith in Jesus, and propitiation (mercy seat / atoning sacrifice)
  • Cross-references mentioned: Psalms, Isaiah, Proverbs, Matthew 5:17, Revelation 14:12, Numbers 15

If this study helped you, consider subscribing and sharing it with someone walking through Romans.

Yeshua and Judaism: When Did Christianity and Judaism Really Split? (The Mid-300s “Parting of the Ways”)

Yeshua and Judaism: Many assume Christianity and Judaism separated almost immediately after the first century. In this teaching, we examine Scripture and history showing the “parting of the ways” was not a clean early break—and that major pressure to separate (including Sabbath/Sunday disputes) intensified in the mid-300s. We also cover Second Temple Judaism vs. Rabbinic Judaism, the synagogue’s role in spreading the gospel, and why Torah reading and Sabbath practice remained central for early believers.

The Millennials are Right: This world needs a Jubilee

Everything is too expensive and the next generations will likely never have the quality of life that previous generations did. Part of this is due to us never following Torah.

Taking the Name in Vain: What Exodus 20:7 Really Means

What does it truly mean to “take the name of the LORD in vain”?

In this teaching on Exodus 20:7, we explore how God’s Name is far more than pronunciation—it represents His character, authority, and reputation. Scripture shows that the Name is profaned not only by careless words, but by behavior and teaching that misrepresents the Creator before the world. This study examines the commandment through Torah, the prophets, and the example of Yeshua.

Discover what “taking God’s Name in vain” truly means according to Exodus 20:7. This teaching explains how God’s Name represents His character, authority, and reputation—and how misrepresenting Him profanes the Name.
