Sermon - October 30, 2016 - Reformation Sunday

The sermon for Reformation Sunday, October 30, 2016. The sermon is composed of five sermonettes centering on how God's saving grace was brought forward through Martin Luther and the Reformation. Each section is based on the five parts of the Luther Seal.

The Black Cross - "I believe that I am a sinner" - Romans 3:19-20

The Red Heart - "I believe in the forgiveness of sins" - Romans 1:16-17

The White Rose - "I believe that God has given me peace" - John 14:27

The Blue Sky - "I believe in better things to come" - Phiippians 3:6-7

The Golden Ring - "I believe in life eternal" - Revelation 21:1-5

Today's Focus: Today, as every Sunday, we worship God. We do not worship Martin Luther. However, on this day we pause to give special thanks to God for using Martin Luther to proclaim the message of the Bible during spiritually dark times: that we are saved by God's grace alone, this is ours through faith alone, and we can be certain of it in the Bible alone. To further illustrate the good news of God's love, Martin Luther designed a family seal. In worship this morning, we will look at the symbolism and Scriptural references behind that seal, and celebrate the full and free love of our God. Come, let us worship the Lord!
