We love to love our tribes. Families, friends, races, religions, Republicans, Democrats, rich, poor — we tend, as humans, to embrace those things which distinguish us from other groups. Our problem arises when we set ourselves as judges above other groups, because God is the only one in the universe just enough to judge between the groups of the world. How can we abandon our desires to judge those around us? In this passage, Pastor Justin unpacks our false group identities and shows from Romans 2 that our judging attitudes condemn us when we fail to see that God will judge everyone equally.

Our salvation is built on trust in God's promises, not in the power of our own works. In this sermon, Pastor Adam explores Romans 4 to uncover what it looks like to have faith to receive the promises of God.
