LITURGICAL READINGS

ADORE: Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who bore you; for he was but one when I called him, that I might bless him and multiply him. For the LORD comforts Zion; he comforts all her waste places and makes her wilderness like Eden, her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the voice of song.—Isaiah 51.2-3

ADMIT: Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh.—Philippians 3.2-3

ASSURE: That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” But the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.—Romans 4.22-25

ACTIVATE: In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.—Ephesians 1.13-14

MESSAGE NOTES

  • TITLE: ROOTED FAITH

  • SCRIPTURE READING: GALATIANS 3.6-9

  • BIG IDEA: THE FAITH THAT SAVES YOU IS OLDER THAN THE LAWS THAT COULDN’T 

  • MAIN POINTS: 

    • HISTORICAL FAITH—GALATIANS 3.6-7

    • PROMISED FAITH—GALATIANS 3.8-9

QUOTES:

  • “Paul is calling Abraham as a witness for his case…What is most important about Abraham is that he was a ‘man of faith.’ Paul is saying: the father-founder of the Jewish people would agree with me.”—Keller, p. 71

  • “This flies in the face of all traditional religion, which tells us that either we are living righteously and are therefore pleasing and acceptable to God, or we are living unrighteously and are therefore alienated from God.”—Keller, p.72-73

  • “The defining mark of a true Christian is not attending church, reading the Bible, praying, or helping the poor. All these good things can be done by an unbeliever. What ultimately makes a person a son of Abraham is faith–faith in Christ and his promises.”—Harmon, p.140

  • “The gospel is not something completely new and without precedent, as if God tried one thing in the Old Testament and then decided to go a new direction when he saw it was not working. With the coming of Christ, believers are now able to more clearly see that this has been God’s plan all along.”—Harmon, p. 143

  • “As believers, we should adopt the same method of reading Scripture as Paul models here–a gospel-centered, Christ-focused approach These are the glasses we put on when reading the Bible, for that is what Jesus himself instructed his followers to do (Luke 24.44-49).”—Harmon, p. 143
