Reformation: Be A Confessional, Faithful, Lutheran

11/02/13 • 51 min

Personally, I wanted the first broadcast of The Lutheran Layman podcast to establish a firm foundation and set the tone properly before embarking upon weekly broadcasts. So, naturally, focusing on the importance of Reformation Day then, and the importance of Reformation Day today seemed an appropriate way to do that. I promise it won't be too "academic" either since we'll make things relevant to your life for sure. But don't worry! Not "relevant" in the "Emergent Church" sort of way. We'll emphasize a few key areas of concern as I see them from the unique perspective of an ex-Evangelical and recent convert to becoming a Confessional Lutheran (that's me!). Topics? The Lord of the Church; Standing Firm; A Brief Reformation Sermon by Pastor Daniel Hinton; A Reformation In Catechesis by Pastor Charles Henrickson; Does Being Lutheran Still Matter? by Rev. Paul McCain. So, settle in and please join us for "Reformation: Be A Confessional, Faithful, Lutheran" or our very first broadcast! [NOTE: "Technical Difficulties" was the undisputed star of this show I'm afraid as our connection timed out halfway through the program! My sincere apologies. We'll have the bugs exterminated before the next broadcast.]

The Offense of the Cross

[Season 2 / Episode 17] Does the Gospel of Jesus Christ offend you? Pastor, do you shy away from preaching certain portions of Scripture because you don’t want to offend people in your congregation? Christian, would you rather talk to others about God’s love and grace and supernatural experiences instead of ever speaking to them about sin and repentance and sanctification? Today, I want to spend some time talking about the "offense of the cross" and the Epistle to the Galatians and how that relates to what we’re witnessing in Christianity today.
