The book of Titus teaches us that sincere faith in Christ always leads to a transformed life marked by good works. These good works do not add to or maintain our salvation in any way. Rather, they serve as the visible evidence that our faith is genuine and that the life of Christ is at work within us. May this resource help empower you to proclaim the whole gospel to your community, both the redemption that has been accomplished and the growth in Christ that we are called to pursue by faith as we rely on the Holy Spirit to complete what God began.

It has now been 500 years since Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. The impact that God would bring as a result of this decision could hardly have been fathomed by those courageous men and women who stood firm, by faith, against such great opposition. The truths which God preserved through their sacrifice are among the most precious of our faith. Use this media to help celebrate God's work through the Protestant Reformation as you teach your community about the priceless doctrines of grace set forth in the Scriptures.
