The Book of Romans continues as our primary sermon series in 2026, and Pastor Brent finishes ch. 4 today. After an opening illustration from the ministry of 20th century British preacher Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Pastor Brent preaches “Trust in God’s Promise” (vv. 13-17) and “Hope in God’s Power” (vv 18-25). Salvation by works is dependent on the enduring validity of one’s own goodness; salvation by grace is dependent on the enduring validity of God’s goodness. Saving faith can only endure if it’s rooted in who God is and what He has promised!
