Sermon text: Revelation 3:7-13
What does it mean to be a Lutheran? The Lutheran Reformation was founded on the “Three Solas” (Latin for “alone”): “Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Scripture Alone”. In 1517, Martin Luther's 95 Theses were headed in that direction. His 1529 Small Catechism condenses those biblical truths into a text book for instruction. In 1521, He was called to Worms and told to “sit down and shut up” by withdrawing all his writings and declaring them to be false. Luther stood up instead and kept proclaiming the truth. By 1530, it was time to set the record straight - against false accusations hurled against them and confusion that was spread as to what Lutherans believed. So the process began to draft the Augsburg Confession. It was a clear and concise summary of the teachings of Scripture, a bold declaration of what the Scriptures say and what they do not. It was a statement of biblical truth and a refutation of biblical error. It was a demonstration that the Lutheran faith is the Christian faith and the orthodox teachings that the church has held too since the time of Christ. So on June 25, 1530, the Augsburg Confession was boldly, confidently and loudly read. Charles V and anyone else within earshot heard a systematic presentation of the Bible's truth. They heard an incredible answer to the question: What does it mean to be a Lutheran?” And all who read its 28 articles today hear that answer as well. What a blessing to generations of Lutheran Christians those men and their courage, conviction, and confession have been! June 25, 1530 was truly a turning point in the life of the Lutheran Church. Blessings have been coming our way as a result ever since. And now as you join in our discussion, those blessings are sure to come your way as well! The Augsburg Confession is included in the Book of Concord. You can find a free version online here. Grab your printed copy off the shelf or get your own copy here.

Sermon text: 2 Thessalonians 1:1-5, 11-12
Isaiah lived during one of the saddest times in the history of God's people. He saw God's judgment unleashed on his cousins to the north - the Northern Kingdom of Israel for their stubborn and consistent unbelief. God sent the powerful nation of Assyria to conquer their land and carry off their people. Isaiah's message to people of Jerusalem and Judah was that the same fate was coming their way, too. They had committed many of the same sins and had angered God just the same. Isaiah called the people to repentance and warned them that God would come down in justice against them as well. How sad it must have been for Isaiah to record his God given prediction of the future fall of his beloved city, Jerusalem.Yet God spoke hope to his people as well - to his people in Isaiah's day and ours. Isaiah proclaimed the mercy and compassion, the forgiveness and love that God would show to his people in bringing back the remnant from captivity and to all believers in the sending of the Messiah to be our Savior from sin. Indeed, the meaning of Isaiah's name is true, the LORD is our salvation. We are hoping that you will join us in reading one chapter of the book of Isaiah each weekday and then in listening in on our discussion of each chapter.

God sent the powerful nation of Assyria to conquer their land and carry off their people. Isaiah's message to people of Jerusalem and Judah was that the same fate was coming their way, too. They had committed many of the same sins and had angered God just the same. Isaiah called the people to repentance and warned them that God would come down in justice against them as well. How sad it must have been for Isaiah to record his God given prediction of the future fall of his beloved city, Jerusalem.Yet God spoke hope to his people as well - to his people in Isaiah's day and ours. Isaiah proclaimed the mercy and compassion, the forgiveness and love that God would show to his people in bringing back the remnant from captivity and to all believers in the sending of the Messiah to be our Savior from sin. Indeed, the meaning of Isaiah's name is true, the LORD is our salvation.
