Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today and all this week, Ken Yates and Bob Wilkin are answering questions from listeners like you. Today, there are three questions: Why does James 2:23 seem to mention that Abraham’s righteousness was not complete until he offers up Isaac? Did he not have faith much earlier in his life?

Bob and Ken give great answers to these questions with applications for us today. Please listen and join us each weekday for Grace in Focus radio!
