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.

Paul outlines how salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, for the glory of God alone. Subsequently, God has brought together Jews and Gentiles into one Body of Christ. This Church is built on the foundation of Christ and the testimony of Scripture. Pastor Dan walks us through the gospel message of Ephesians 2.
In this sobering and soul-searching message, Pastor Karl dives deep into Matthew 5:17–48, where Jesus declares that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and then raises the bar of righteousness far beyond anything the scribes and Pharisees ever imagined.Through six piercing examples—anger that murders the heart, lust that commits adultery in the mind, casual divorce, manipulative oaths, retaliation, and hatred disguised as justice—Jesus exposes the truth we all try to avoid: outward obedience is never enough. God judges the heart. Every single one of us stands guilty before His perfect standard.Yet the bad news is meant to drive us to the best news. Pastor Karl powerfully unpacks how Jesus' command in verse 48—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”—is not a cruel impossible demand, but the very reason the Son of God came. We cannot achieve the righteousness God requires, so God freely gives it to us through faith in Christ. Jesus took our unrighteousness and imputes His perfect righteousness to all who repent and trust Him.A hard-hitting, heart-exposing sermon that leaves no room for self-righteousness, but ends with the liberating joy of the gospel: guilty sinners can be clothed in the very righteousness of God and stand before Him as if we had never sinned.

10.19.25//Jake Rainwater
This Sunday, studied one of the most important moments in the entire book of Acts. It is the very first church council that was ever held to establish clarity around the gospel. Regularly in the New Testament, controversies arose about whether or not Gentile Christians had to become adherents to the Old Testament regulations of circumcision, Sabbath keeping, and the commands of the Law of Moses. Understandably, Jewish believers, with a rich history of God relating to them through the Law of Moses, could not conceive of life without the Law. Today, many believers still practice Sabbath-keeping or following the Jewish calendar events of Yom Kippur or the Passover. They believe that there is something significant or special to those traditions. The problem, of course, is that there is an enormous difference between saying that you MAY choose to celebrate, remember, or practice Old Testament practices and saying that you MUST do this. The Law of Moses has never justified anyone but Jesus. Salvation has never been by works of the law but only by grace through faith. This is such a great non-negotiable that the mission of the church in Acts could not continue until it was clarified and resolved, and officially decided by the apostles in Jerusalem. They did decide clearly. Thank God for that. As we come to the end of October, this is the time of year when we remember Martin Luther, nailing his 95 theses to the door at Wittenberg Church on October 31st, 1517. Luther had to risk his life to remind people that all the added traditions of Catholicism could save no one, nor could it add one iota to our eternal salvation. No peace came from human religious performance. Luther knew that well. He had long tormented himself in his attempts to use religious means to feel good enough for God's approval. He testified, “While I was a monk, I no sooner felt assailed by any temptation than I cried out—‘I am lost!' Immediately, I had recourse to a thousand methods to stifle the cries of my conscience. I went every day to confession, but that was of no use to me.” No. Nothing can satisfy God's justice and remove our guilt and shame but the gospel. Praise God – salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. Come this Sunday as we see once again the glory and goodness of God in the gospel of His grace. Our message is called “By Grace Alone”. It's really good and important news to know and to share. Join us on Sundays at 9 & 11 - www.waterbrooke.church

Listen to our local radio segment for this week. “Reformation Solas 1) Grace Alone”
The post Grace Alone appeared first on Intown Lutheran Church.
Being a witness doesn't mean you have to stand on a stage or preach to crowds. God invites each of us to simply share what He has done in our lives. When we talk about His grace, His faithfulness, or the ways He's changed us, we let others see Him through our story. Witnessing is personal, honest, and natural. It flows out of a life transformed by Christ. Today, Pastor Bill will explore how you have the privilege of pointing others to Jesus by sharing the truth of God's work in your own heart.

It's easy to see the Bible as a collection of old letters or ancient stories, but it's so much more than that. Every page carries a personal message from God to you. The words that guided, corrected, and encouraged people thousands of years ago still speak into our lives today. Today, Pastor Bill will reveal to you that when you open Scripture, God meets you where you are, with wisdom, comfort, and direction. It's not just history or literature; it's His living Word reaching deep into your heart.

Listening to a sermon or watching an online teaching can be refreshing, but it's like sipping from a cup someone else has poured; you're only tasting what they've passed along. Reading the Bible for yourself is drinking straight from the spring, letting God's living water flow directly into your life. Pastor Bill will encourage you today to engage Scripture personally and experience its life-giving truth, clarity, and refreshment in a way secondhand teachings can't provide. Let His living water nourish you.

Imagine being handed a beautifully wrapped gift, but leaving it unopened on the table. That's what it's like to agree with the gospel but never receive it. You can believe Jesus died for sins, that He rose again, and that He offers forgiveness, yet still never make it your own. Today, Pastor Bill will remind you that the gospel isn't just truth to nod at; it's a gift to say “yes” to. When you open our hands in faith, that gift becomes yours, bringing forgiveness, freedom, and new life. It's time to receive the gospel today.

When we carry the gospel, we carry joy. Not the kind that depends on circumstances, but the kind rooted in God's grace. Everywhere we go, we have the opportunity to bring light into dark places, hope into weary hearts, and laughter into heavy moments. Pastor Bill will explain today that the good news of Jesus isn't meant to stay bottled up inside you; it overflows. Like a lamp that can't help but shine or perfume that fills a whole room, the gospel brings joy wherever it goes. Spread that joy today.

Grace is like a perfect diamond. It shines in its completeness, needing nothing added to make it more beautiful. But so often, we try to glue on our own little pieces, our efforts, our rules, our good works, thinking it will somehow make it better. In reality, all it does is cover the brilliance of what was already flawless. Today, Pastor Bill will remind you that you are saved by grace alone, not by works, so that no one can boast. Grace doesn't need your additions; it simply needs to be received as is.
