Gospel on SermonAudio

This sermon explores the theological significance of Reformation Day by tracing the concept of reformation through biblical history, from the transition of the Old Covenant to the New Covenant in Christ to the reforms of King Josiah. It highlights the Protestant Reformation as a divine restoration of the gospel, emphasizing Martin Luther's rejection of indulgences and the recovery of key doctrines such as justification by faith alone and the authority of Scripture. The message underscores the necessity of the church remaining constantly reformed to avoid drifting into legalism or losing the clarity of the gospel. By examining the five solas and the historical context of the Reformation, the sermon calls believers to hold fast to biblical truth and recognize the ongoing work of God in preserving the light of the gospel for the world.

Church history helps Christians recognize recurring errors, appreciate sound doctrine, and learn from faithful believers who have gone before them. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains how historical awareness strengthens biblical discernment and cultivates humility and gratitude. Drawing on Ecclesiastes 1:9 and Hebrews 13:7, he emphasizes that every historical lesson must remain subject to the supreme authority of God's Word.

Welcome back to our narration of classic 19th-century children's literature. In this edition, we turn to The Young Cottager by Legh Richmond, first published in 1813 and later gathered into his beloved collection, Annals of the Poor. Set against the serene backdrop of the Isle of Wight, this deeply moving account follows Richmond's pastoral visits with "Little Jane"—an impoverished, unassuming young girl whose quiet study of the Scriptures and simple, unshakeable faith transformed her final days. Beyond its historical significance as one of the most widely distributed evangelical narrative tracts of its era, Richmond's gentle story offers a timeless look at redemption, childlike trust, and the profound comfort found in the Gospel.

Listen-in to today's This Day In The Word radio teaching broadcast, "The Church that Persevered in Persecution," and let's see what God's Word has to say.
