Mr. Monk

On October 31, 1517, a Catholic Monk named Martin Luther nailed a document called The 95 Thesis on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenburg, Germany. He was hoping to start a conversation, but he actually started a revolution. This event sparked the Reformation: a movement that would change history and redefine the church and Christianity. But the most important aspect of the Reformation was the reclamation of the Gospel as revealed in Scripture. In honor of the 500th anniversary of this event, a new sermon series starts today entitled Here I Stand, looking at the five core truths defined and defended during the Reformation. Today's sermon will give a biographical sketch of the man Martin Luther, the time in which he lived, and seek to show that we still need the Gospel rediscovered during the Reformation.
