Main Focus: Protestant Reformation

Anticipate: Luther's Rose

500 years ago, Martin Luther nailed the 95 thesis on the door of the church to warn people about the false practices.  Ordinary people during Luther's time had no access to the word of God.  Only certain people got to read the word of God and only certain people had the privilege of singing praises to God.  Because of that, people did not know the truth and thought that by doing good deeds, purchasing holy jewelry, say a special prayer, rubbing the toe of a statue or purchasing indulgences would grant them God's forgiveness. Luther wanted people to know that it is God's grace through Jesus Christ that we are saved.  Believing in Jesus is the only way to be forgiven and have salvation.  There's no other way.  We can not pay our way to heaven.  Luther stood up against falsehood to bring God's truth.  Along with Luther, the printing press also helped ordinary people learn about God's truth by having access to God's word, the Bible.  Because of Luther's effort, people today can know about God's truth by reading God's word.
