Guest Pastor: Rich Langton

At the heart of the Reformation was the doctrine of Sola Fide, Faith Alone. We are saved not by a combination of faith and works but by Faith Alone. But what exactly is faith and what does it mean that we are saved _through _faith?

Grace is Beyond Amazing because God’s grace transforms us. The grace of God does not leave us in our sin, but through that grace, we have died to sin and have been made alive with Christ. Special Music by the Lucas CRC Choir.

The Reformers emphasized that salvation comes to us by God’s grace alone and not as just one piece of the puzzle. We continue our look at the five Solas considering whether we could use a Sola Gratia reformation today.

Grace is beyond amazing because grace is free. Our series on grace continues as we see that there is nothing that can be done to earn God's grace or deserve it. Grace is a gift from God; costly to Him, but free to us.

Salvation comes ONLY through Christ. That is the focus of this message as we consider what it means that "our hope is found in nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness."

The doctrine of Grace was a crucial doctrine for the Reformation because it is a central doctrine in Scripture. This message is the beginning of a series in which we will consider some of the various aspects of grace as taught in the Bible. In this message, we focus on the fact that grace was extremely costly to God the Father and God the Son.

As we approach the 500th Anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, we begin our series "The Only's of the Reformation" in which we will consider the "Sola's" that helped to define the some of the most important doctrines of the Reformation. This message looks at the importance of Scripture ALONE and considers whether we might need to recover a Sola Scriptura reformation today.

As part of our Church Education Sunday, this message is an introductory look at our church's memory work for the year: Romans 12:9-16. What do all of these short commands in this passage have to do with each other? What do they have to do with the church? And what might this all mean for Church Education?
