    The Reformation began with Jesus Christ and is to continue even today within the church and within our hearts.

    Introductory Considerations 1. "Today is Reformation Sunday." With these four words I may already have lost many of your listening ears. Why do we need to talk about something that happened 400-500 years ago? We don’t want a history lesson or a theological debate. 2. Message of Reformation not a ...read more
