A 9-Part Teaching Series through Romans 4 by Stephen Davey

God chose a man with no children and no righteousness to become the father of a nation and the example of saving faith.

This 9-part series from Romans 4 traces the remarkable life of Abraham—not to celebrate his strength, but to spotlight the grace of God. You’ll explore how Abraham was justified by faith, how God’s promises held firm despite human failure, and how Abraham’s life still speaks today into our confused world of works-based religion and cultural compromise.

Whether you’re wrestling with doubt, pressure, or questions about salvation, Father Abraham will help you see the power of faith, the depth of grace, and the God who keeps His promises.

This CD set includes:

1. The Hopeless Case Romans 4:18–19
   Abraham’s life looked like a dead end, but hope flourished when he trusted God’s promise without evidence .

2. Abraham and Islam Romans 4:20–21
   Stephen Davey contrasts biblical Abraham with how Islam portrays him—and calls believers to bold faith and biblical clarity .

3. Like Father Like Son Romans 4:22–25
   Paul urges us to imitate Abraham’s faith. What kind of life does that look like today? Seven lessons for believers who want to leave a legacy of faith .

4. The Sign and Seal of Faith Romans 4:9–12
   Paul shows that Abraham was justified long before he was circumcised—making him the father of all who believe by faith, not works .

5. Ruling Out the Law Romans 4:13–16
   Salvation doesn’t come through religious effort. In this message, Paul dismantles every false hope in keeping the law .

6. Origins Romans 4:17
   Why does Paul mention creation in the middle of a chapter about faith? Because the same God who creates life also gives new life by grace .

7. The Hopeless Case Romans 4:18–19
   Hope is born not in what we see—but in what God says. Abraham’s body was as good as dead, yet he believed .

8. Abraham and Islam Romans 4:20–21
   A call to understand the difference between biblical faith and false religion. Islam claims Abraham, but Paul clarifies who his true children are .

9. Like Father Like Son Romans 4:22–25
   Faith, obedience, and courage—these marked Abraham’s life. They should mark ours too. What will your legacy be? 

Note: The final three messages (Parts VII–IX) are a deeper exposition of Romans 4:18–25 and build on the themes of hope, contrast with Islam, and the call to live like Abraham.
