What does it mean to have real faith?
Is salvation something we earn through good works, religious practices, or trying to live a good life? Or is there something more to being made right with God?
Join us this Sunday at Laurel Oak Christian Church as we continue our Romans sermon series with a message titled “Real Faith,” exploring Romans 4 and the example of Abraham, a man whose faith teaches us what it means to trust God.
If anyone could be made righteous through works, Paul asks, why would Abraham's story point us toward faith instead? Scripture teaches that Abraham was counted righteous because he believed God—not because he earned God's favor through his accomplishments.
That same truth applies to us today. Salvation is not something we earn; it is a gift we receive through faith in Jesus Christ.
But real faith is about more than simply believing that God exists. It means trusting His promises, relying on His character, and continuing to depend on Him even when our circumstances are difficult or the outcome is uncertain.
Abraham's story reminds us that faith doesn't mean we always understand God's plan. It means we trust the One who made the promises.
In this message, we'll explore what Romans 4 teaches about faith versus works, Abraham's righteousness, God's promises, salvation by grace, and trusting God through life's challenges.
Where does your confidence rest—in what you have done, or in what God has done through Jesus? Real faith rests in God, trusts His promises, and looks to Jesus Christ as the foundation of our hope.
Come worship with us and discover how the example of Abraham can strengthen your faith and encourage you to trust God in every season of life.
