Oct. 25, 2026 Reformation Sunday
Our Sunday School wrote 10 additional Theses to add to Martin Luther’s 95 Theses, printed them, and handed them out to the congregation.
So, what is Lutheranism?
Pastor Jim gave a summary starting with Martin Luther. He was a figure of the Reformation who was unkind to many, especially Muslims or Jews. He was a Catholic who felt that the church’s beliefs in rule and law and the money involved in selling indulgences was wrong. He wrote 95 Theses and placed them on the door of Castle Church in Germany. Ultimately, he was forced to leave the Catholic Church. Others who believed this way, as well, left with Luther leaving room for God and life’s mysteries. Luther learns that God’s love comes to you, unearned, while you are still sinning and that Grace is the real deal that is worth living for and dying for. We are set free by the love of God and at the same time it is our duty and obligation to be servants to others to create community.
When asked what is it like to be a Lutheran, Pastor Jim suggests we say, “Come and see; feel the grace of God that sets us free.”
*As always, listen to Pastor Jim’s sermon for the full story.
