WATCH THE SERMON

Romans 4:12 – Be Like Abraham

Abraham’s life shows us that the Bible is ultimately about God’s grace, not simply moral lessons about better behavior. Yet Abraham still serves as an example of obedient faith, trusting God’s promises even when they seemed impossible.

STUDY THE SCRIPTURE

Romans 4:12

“and to make him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.” (ESV)

Please see your assigned question below for additional Scripture versues to study.

RESPOND TO THE STUDY QUESTIONS

1. Sermon Recap: Pastor Chris reminded us that we learn by example and Scripture gives us examples for a purpose. What is the example of Abraham (in Genesis, Romans and Hebrews) teaching us? [Martha / Rita]

2. History/Culture/Language: Pastor Chris said that Abraham was a sojourner or pilgrim (Genesis 12:10). How does seeing Abraham as a sojourner help us as followers of Jesus? (Hint: See Leviticus 19:33-34 and 1 Peter 2:1-12) [Tiffani / Sheila]

3. Biblical Context: Read Genesis 22. This tells what may have been the biggest challenge of Abraham’s life. How does this story of sacrifice and obedience help you understand what it might look like for you to walk in the footsteps of Abraham? [Maria / Kim]

4. Reflection/Application: Pastor Chris posed the question: If the resurrection is true, is there anything God can’t do? How then do you make your way through the irreconcilable conflicts going on in your life? [Tina / Cressy]
