Grace & TruthPastor Kent LandhuisTHEME - Jesus saves.TEXT - Luke 19:1-101. What must I do to be saved? * Acts 16:30-33 * Luke 18:18-23 * They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved - you and your household.” Acts 16:312. Who can be saved? * Luke 19:1-10. * For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. Luke 19:103. What does salvation change? * Luke 15:11-32 * Luke 19:35-43 * But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. Luke 15:32NEXT STEPS1. Admit your lostness.2. Believe in Jesus.GO DEEPERFive Solas of the Protestant ReformationFive pillars of our faith that come out of the reformation.1. Sola Scriptura – Scripture Alone.The Bible is the sole written divine revelation, our only infallible rule for faith and life, and alone can bind the conscience of believers absolutely. (Matthew 4:4; 2 Timothy. 3:16-17).2. Sola Fide – Faith Alone.Justification is by faith alone. By God's free grace, the righteousness of Jesus Christ is imputed to us by faith and is the sole ground of our acceptance by God, by which our sins are pardoned (Romans 5:1; Galatians 2:16; Ephesians. 2:8-10).3. Solus Christus – Christ Alone.Jesus Christ is the only mediator through Whose work we are redeemed (John 14:6; John 3:16; Acts 4:12; Acts 16:30-33)4. Sola Gratia – Grace Alone.Our salvation rests solely on the work of God's grace for us (Romans 2:4; Ephesians. 2:8-10).5. Soli Deo Gloria – To God Alone be Glory.Salvation is of God and has been accomplished by God, therefore to God alone belongs the glory (Isaiah 42:8; Colossians 3:17).
Send us a textWhat you worship will shape the whole arc of your life. We open the door with the five solas—Scripture alone, faith alone, grace alone, Christ alone, to the glory of God alone—and then linger on Soli Deo Gloria, where everyday choices become an offering and ordinary moments become a stage for God's goodness. From Martin Luther's conviction to our city streets, we connect history's rallying cry with the modern heart.Walking through Acts 17, we follow Paul into Athens and its forest of idols, where an altar to the “unknown god” becomes the key to a deeper truth: the Creator who needs nothing gives everything—life, breath, boundaries, seasons—and has come near in Jesus Christ. That nearness reframes our pursuits. Idolatry isn't only stone and gold; it can be image, achievement, comfort, even religious success. We talk about how to spot those quiet rivals and re-center our loves, not by despising good things, but by returning every gift to its Giver.We share three practical takeaways on worship that hold up under pressure: worship aligns us with God's purposes, worship celebrates Christ's transforming work in us, and worship compels daily obedience. Along the way, we draw from Tozer, Lewis, and Spurgeon, and we offer a clear invitation to trust Jesus—confessing with the mouth and believing in the heart—as the way into a restored life with God. If you're ready to trade restlessness for meaning and noise for glory, press play, lean in, and consider what needs to come off the throne.If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who's searching, and leave a review to help others find these conversations.

In this sermon by Carolyn Wilson on Reformation Sunday, the focus is on the enduring impact of the Protestant Reformation and its central theological pillars, known as the "five solas." Wilson begins with a historical overview, describing how the early Christian church endured persecution and how, over centuries, its rise to power in Europe led to widespread corruption and spiritual neglect. Courageous reformers like John Wycliffe and Jan Hus challenged these abuses, laying the groundwork for Martin Luther and the Reformation movement. Carolyn highlights each of the five solas: grace alone counters self-sufficiency; faith alone frees believers from the pressure to earn salvation; Christ alone affirms Jesus as the exclusive mediator; Scripture alone stands as the infallible authority; and to God alone be the glory places all honor with God rather than personal achievement. She connects these principles to challenges in contemporary culture, urging believers to maintain vigilance, humility, and faithfulness. The sermon concludes with a call for continual reformation within the church, emphasizing that the Reformation is not just history but an ongoing movement. Carolyn encourages believers to anchor themselves in biblical truth and live out these principles so that the light of Christ can shine brightly in today's world.

Send us a textSome of the great truths recovered at the Protestant Reformation are summarized in some slogans first enumerated as a list in the mid-20th century as the Five Solas. Although the phrase Soli Deo Gloria seems like an outliner it actually moves to the heart of the recovery of the great truth that God alone is the Savior of sinners. Paul expresses this truth well in Ephesians chapter 1, "to the praise of his glory." God does not share his glory. Not to us Yahweh, not to us but to your name be the glory. Psalm 115I, even I, am Yahweh, And there is no savior besides Me. Isaiah 43:11Bible Insights with Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.

Send us a textWhat if the most liberating truth you could hear is also the simplest: Jesus is Lord. We revisit the five solas through a fresh lens and zoom in on Solus Christus—Christ alone—as the pulse of the gospel that still frees captives, steadies anxious hearts, and sends ordinary people into extraordinary mission.We share updates from the field: a new English-speaking campus launching in Koh Samui, a learning center designed to help refugee kids reach higher education, and courageous anti‑trafficking work that brings rescue, restoration, and dignity to survivors. These stories aren't statistics; they are living proof that when the church trusts grace over grind, faith over fear, and Scripture over tradition, real people meet a real Savior. You'll hear of an 11-year-old exploited and now on a path toward healing, and a Pakistani couple who found a Bible, found Christ, and found the courage to start again.Then we dig into Romans 5:1–2 and unpack three anchors that hold in any storm: justification by faith, reconciliation with God, and bold access to the throne of grace. We confront legalism that suffocates and hyper‑grace that excuses, and we point to the better way where obedience springs from love. Along the way, we trace Jesus through all 66 books of Scripture and remember why the early church's original creed still changes lives: Jesus is Lord. If you've felt unworthy, anxious, or far from God, this conversation opens the door to mercy, peace, and confidence in prayer.Join us, share it with a friend who needs hope, and help us keep this work moving.

Justin Peters delivers a comprehensive examination of the ruinous ruse of Rome by contrasting Roman Catholic theology with biblical Christianity through the lens of the five Reformation solas. This ruinous ruse of Rome becomes evident when examining salvation by grace alone, faith alone, in Christ alone, for God's glory alone, according to Scripture alone. Peters demonstrates how the Roman Catholic Church has redefined fundamental biblical terms like grace, justification, and faith while adding works, sacraments, and human merit to salvation.This presentation exposes Rome's doctrine of transubstantiation, the sacrifice of the Mass, purgatory, and Marian dogmas as departures from Scripture. Through careful biblical exposition and historical documentation from the Council of Trent, Peters shows how Rome has anathematized the gospel itself by rejecting justification by faith alone and requiring ongoing works for salvation. The message honors the Protestant Reformers who sacrificed their lives—including John Hus, William Tyndale, and Hugh Latimer—to restore biblical truth and make Scripture accessible to all believers. ★ Support this podcast ★

Fr. Sean and Fr. John unpack the Five Solas of the Reformation — Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, and Soli Deo Gloria — and explore how the Catholic Church understands grace, faith, and our cooperation with God.
Send us a textIn this final episode of the Five Solas series, Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones explore Soli Deo Gloria, to the glory of God alone. Together, they unpack what it means for every part of life, faith, and ministry to point back to God's glory. From church history and the Reformation to modern temptations like celebrity culture and self-promotion, the hosts reflect on how easily we try to claim glory that belongs to God. They share personal experiences as pastors, talk about humility in leadership, and challenge men to live as image bearers who reflect God's greatness in everyday life.
Send us a textWhat if the most life-changing power isn't something you earn, but something you receive? We open with a rapid tour of the Five Solas and then linger on grace alone—the unmerited favor of God that meets us in our mess and remakes us from the inside out. A youth ministry turkey-bowling fiasco becomes a living parable: where you expect judgment, grace listens, instructs, and restores. That story sets the tone for a journey through Romans, Ephesians, John, and Acts, showing why salvation is a gift, not wages, and how grace breaks sin's dominion without turning a blind eye to holiness.Together we trace the line from the mercy seat in the wilderness to Jesus Christ, where grace and truth embrace. We explore how Scripture, not tradition, anchors our confidence; why “shall we continue in sin?” still demands a clear “by no means”; and how humble communities correct with gentleness, not pride. Along the way, Judas and Paul stand as stark contrasts—one who let small compromises bloom into betrayal, and one who learned to boast in weakness so that Christ's power could rest on him. The early church's “great grace” wasn't a slogan; it was a lived reality that fueled bold testimony, radical generosity, and resilient hope.If you've wrestled with church hurt, felt stuck in old patterns, or wondered whether God is still good when answers feel slow, this conversation is for you. We offer three clear takeaways: grace reminds us of our brokenness, grace reminds us of God's goodness, and grace compels us to encounter God personally. Expect practical counsel, honest self-examination, and a call to extend the same grace you've received—at home, at work, and in your church family. If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a quick review to help more people discover the power of grace.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-...Life Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-gr...Giving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.co...Church Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-ch...Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/de...----Instagram cornerstoneaz Facebook cornerstoneaz.org Twitter cornerstoneaz.org
Send us a textA withered fig tree, a mustard seed, and a mountain stand in our path—each one becomes a lens for seeing how faith actually works in ordinary life. We open with Luther's spark and the Five Solas, then zoom into sola fide to ask a simple, searching question: do you have faith to believe? Anchored in Matthew 21, Ephesians 2:8–10, and Hebrews 11–12, we unpack why salvation is a gift of grace received through faith, why works can never earn it, and why good works still matter as our joyful response. Along the way, we talk about Peter's rough edges, Paul's dramatic turn, and how God continually chooses unlikely people to carry His story forward.You'll hear how Scripture alone steadies our prayers, teaching us to align our requests with God's promises rather than our impulses. We explore the difference between demanding outcomes and trusting God's character, and we offer three practices to make faith tangible: pray the Word, speak hope into hard places, and take concrete steps of obedience. The goal isn't hype; it's endurance—laying down the weights of shame and old labels so we can run light, eyes fixed on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of faith.If you're wrestling with a mountain right now—fear, sickness, broken relationships, or heavy uncertainty—this conversation invites you to plant even a mustard seed of trust in good soil. Christ alone mediates, grace alone saves, faith alone receives, and our lives become living doxology: to the glory of God alone. If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find these conversations.

The sermon presents a compelling call to authentic Christian discipleship rooted in the Five Solas of the Reformation, emphasizing that true spiritual transformation is not passive but requires disciplined, intentional effort grounded in Scripture, grace, faith, Christ, and God's glory. It refutes the notion that grace negates effort, asserting instead that grace is the source of our faithful labor, empowering believers to pursue holiness through biblical prayer, the mortification of sin, and active service within the church body. The Bible underscores the necessity of discernment in a world filled with false Christs and counterfeit spiritualities, urging believers to fix their gaze on Christ alone as revealed in the New Testament, not in human traditions or mystical practices. By integrating Scripture, prayer, and genuine community, the sermon calls the church to become a living refutation of cultural skepticism, demonstrating that Christ-likeness is not only possible but transformative when pursued with resolve and dependence on God's grace.
Send us a textIn this episode of the FORGE Truth Podcast, Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones dive into Solus Christus, Christ alone, as part of the Five Solas series. Together they unpack why Christ is the only mediator between God and man, how this truth shapes our salvation, and what it means for Christian men in their daily lives. From history and theology to practical conversations about faith, brotherhood, and living under the Lordship of Christ, this discussion challenges and encourages men to anchor everything in Christ alone.
Send us a textA lightning storm, a vow, and a question that won't quit: why do you believe it? We follow Martin Luther from fear to courage and from indulgences to conviction, then bring his protest forward to the five solas that still ground a restless age. The heart of our time together is Sola Scriptura—Scripture alone as our final authority—not to flatten tradition or voices we trust, but to line them up under the Word that points us to Jesus. You'll hear how access changed history, why translation and the printing press opened the Bible to ordinary people, and how manuscript evidence gives you solid reasons to trust what you read today.From there we get practical. We explore what it means to let the Word dwell richly—how to read different genres with context, how Hebrews' “living and active” sword cuts through pretense, and how Jesus' call to build on rock becomes a durable plan for life when storms hit. If you've wrestled with doubt, struggled to make time for Scripture, or wondered how the Old and New Testaments form one story of redemption, this conversation offers clarity, courage, and next steps. We don't stop at information; we invite transformation—returning to the gospel where grace alone saves through faith alone in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone.Along the way, we share the beauty of community: imperfect people following Jesus, learning to ask better questions, and making choices shaped by wisdom rather than hurry. If you're ready to anchor your beliefs, rebuild your rhythms, and respond to a Savior who still calls by name, you're in the right place.

Send us a textIn this episode of The FORGE Truth Podcast, Pete Alwinson and Jayson Quiñones begin our new series on the Five Solas of the Reformation with a deep dive into Sola Scriptura, which means Scripture Alone. They explore its historical roots in the Protestant Reformation, the distinction between general and special revelation, and the authority of the Bible over tradition and modern voices. It tackles one of the most important questions we can ask: Is the Bible truly our final authority? If you've ever wrestled with the role of Scripture in a world full of voices, don't miss this one.
