Sermons About Reformation
Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide
When Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg some 492 years ago, he inaugarated the protestant principles of sola scriptura (scripture alone) and sola fide (faith alone). Pastor Simmons ask whether we are living by these great principles or are in need of a second reformation.

Reformation Sunday - John Newton: A Life Of Amazing Providences
Why spend Reformation Sunday learning about John Newton? Although he is not as well known as some of his contemporaries, the man was influenced by great men of God and in turn God used him to influence a younger generation of great men of God.

Reformation Sunday
Reformation Sunday commemorates one of the greatest revivals ever to sweep the church since Pentecost. We most often associate it with Martin Luther, the great German reformer who posted his 95 grievances with the church on October 31, 1517. But Luther was not alone. There were others who called the church back to the distinctives of Biblical Christianity. One of those individuals was John Calvin. Calvin has been called a lot of things - the father of Presbyterianism, the theologian of the reformation, and the father of modern education. He was actually a reformed pastor in Geneva, Switzerland who had an amazing influence for Christ on the church and the culture. This year is the 500th anniversary of Calvin’s birth. Today in the Word as we remember our own heritage, we will be looking at Calvin’s influence and legacy. Our worship service will be unique as well. We will attempt to reproduce a 16th century Genevan Liturgy - it will be different - so read the Order of Worship and try to imagine yourself in that time. If you would like to know more about Calvin, see Pastor Don’s July 9th blogs on Calvin at donsweeting.wordpress.com
