Faith that receives grace in Romans 4 video discussion

by

The epistle for Trinity 1 in Year A is Romans 4.13–25. Many people are put off preaching on Romans, and Paul’s language here is dense and compressed.

Yet the central message is this: salvation is not the result of a contract, in which we exchange God’s grace for our obedience. It is a gift that must be received by faith.

And it is a gift that is not a legal function, and merely a change in status. It is one that starts to change our lives from day one.

The Grove booklet on OCD that we mention in the middle can be found here.

This Sunday is often used to celebrate the feast of St Barnabas from Acts 11.19–30. The video discussion of that can be found here…

…and the written commentary here.
