Easter lands right in the middle of Romans 4 this year — and it turns out, that's exactly where it belongs.

In this week's message, Pastor Lawrence opens up the story of Abraham: a man who received an impossible promise from God and waited 25 years for it to come true. Along the way, he stumbled, he doubted, he took matters into his own hands. And yet — his faith was credited to him as righteousness.

What does that mean for us? What do you do when you're holding a promise from God but your circumstances say the opposite? And how does the resurrection of Jesus Christ change the way you wait?

This Easter message from Romans 4 is grounded, honest, and full of hope — even the kind that seems unreasonable.

📖 Key Scriptures: Romans 4:1-25 | Romans 4:18, 20-21, 22-25 | 1 Corinthians 15

Next Steps:

• Reflect: What promise from God are you still waiting on? What would it look like to adjust your life around it this week?
• Read: Romans 4:1-25 on your own. Pay attention to verses 20-21 and 23-25.
• Pray: Ask God to turn your waiting from passive frustration into active, rooted confidence in his promises.

What would you put on your spiritual résumé?

In this week's message from The Gospel Series, we open Romans 3:27–31 — a pivotal passage where the apostle Paul answers four questions that strike at the core of human pride, self-reliance, and what it truly means to be justified before God.

The law isn't your enemy — it's a mirror. And when you look honestly into it, your boasting dies and your need for the gospel becomes crystal clear.

This episode includes the full weekend message from Grand Point Church.

Two words carry the weight of the entire Gospel: "But now." After weeks in Romans establishing the depth of human sin and the impossibility of self-righteousness, Pastor Lawrence arrives at the hinge point of Paul's letter — Romans 3:21–26 — and unpacks six essential facets of God's righteousness. This episode covers justification, redemption, and atonement with clarity and depth, and explores why the Gospel feels too good to be true — and why you can receive it by faith anyway.

Show Notes:

📖 Scripture References:

• Romans 3:20–26
• Romans 1:17
• 2 Corinthians 4:4
• Romans 5:8
• Mark 10:45
• John 19:30
• Hebrews 11:6

🔑 Key Concepts Covered:

• Justification — God's legal declaration of "not guilty," plus the crediting of Christ's righteousness to your account
• Redemption — Being purchased out of slavery to sin at the price of Christ's blood ("It is finished" = "Paid in full")
• Atonement — The innocent sacrificed so the guilty can go free
• Grace — God's Riches At Christ's Expense; favor given to those who deserve condemnation
• Saving Faith — Knowledge → Conviction → Commitment

📌 Next Steps:

• Reflect on the "Then / Now" movement: How has Christ changed your story?
• Memorize Romans 3:23–24 this week
• If you've never received the Gospel by faith — today is the day. Visit www.grandpoint.church to take a next step or connect with our team.
