Description:
Delivered during the Sunday Morning Worship Service, 9/6/2026. As Paul continues his opening statement to the Romans, his attention flows from the fullness of Jesus Christ our Lord and His centrality to the Gospel to how that Good News will be revealed to a world lost in sin and spiritual darkness. He goes on to explain how the expansion of the church is entirely by the grace of God, and driven by the evangelistic outreach of the "sent ones" whose hearts have been redeemed. But we will spend most of our time exploring what Paul means and doesn't mean by the enigmatic and profound phrase "obedience of faith" that this outreach of the church is to bring about. We will find that Paul's teaching of the relationship between obedience and faith is radically different from the various forms of "easy believism" to be found in the church today. Indeed, Paul's vision is of the expansion of a church filled with true believers who exist and work faithfully for the glory of Christ by changing the world one soul at a time through the "obedience of faith".
