Livestream Information
So happy you found us. God has given us so many wonderful ways to spread the Gospel. One of those ways is through Livestreaming. We are pleased that we the ability to reach out in this way and share the Gospel with you. There is one thing that we want to avoid with our Livestream. God directs us to rejoice in the ability to meet together in worship as we receive the blessings that come from a Christian family and from the Gospel in Word and Sacraments (Hebrews 11:25, Psalm 122). Because God tells us not to give up meeting together in worship, we feel very strongly that our online worship should not take the place of in-person worship.
Our livestream is intended to be a devotional during the week that adds to your in-person worship, or an option for those who are infirm, sick, ill or traveling, which would make a trip to the Lord’s house difficult or impractical. We encourage all people, especially our members, to hear the Lord’s loving direction to attend in-person worship regularly. For our guests, we invite you to come and hear the love of God first hand, in His house. God bless!!!
Sermon Theme: The Reformation Makes us Different
This morning we celebrate the festival of the Reformation. On October 31, 1517, God moved a man named Martin Luther to hang 95 thesis, or statements, on the door of the church in Wittenberg. This document was entitled Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences. It pointed out 95 places where the official teachings of the church disagreed and even contradicted what the Bible clearly taught. Martin’s hope was not to start a new church that would be named after him. His hope was that the church would agree that Scripture was the source of God’s truth, that they would turn from these false teachings, and that they would return to God’s Word.
So began the Reformation. Reformation means to change from one thing to another. The church needed to change. It needed to be reformed or changed so that people would hear the Gospel of Jesus and believe in him instead of trying to earn heaven by their deeds.
God moved faithful men like Martin Luther to stand on his Word and not to compromise the clear truths of Scripture. This foundation of preaching and teaching the truths of Scripture alone remains our heritage today. It is captured in the three Solas of the Reformation. Sola Scriptura: Through Scripture alone, Sola Fide: Through Faith in Jesus alone: Sola Gratia: Through God’s grace alone.
Confessional Lutherans and conservative Christians celebrate the Reformation every year as an important turning point in the history of God’s church on earth when God, in his grace and mercy, made the truths of the Gospel clear for all to see.
