Reformation Celebration

This coming weekend, our culture will give itself to all things associated with the dark side of Halloween.

However, on this same date back in 1517, Dr.Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses on the door of a  Catholic Church in Wittenburg,Germany.  By boldly doing so, he ushered in the protestant reformation period.

This monumental movement produced the character of Christ centered evangelicalism by emphasizing the supremacy of scripture, justification by grace through faith alone, and the doctrine of vocation. For this reason, the traditional church calendar acknowledges the "Festival of the Reformation"  October 31st.

We  will promote this counter cultural  occasion  by advocating the substantive doctrine that came forth from the heroic Luther. It was his convictional and confrontational courage that factually changed the course of human history.
  
In order to give adequate attention to "the doctrine of vocation", we will teach part 1 tomorrow evening during our Wednesday study and conclude with part 2 on Sunday morning.  

Please prioritze being with us tomorrow evening since it is foundational to Sunday morning.

Here is a mere sampling of things we will learn in this two part series:

> What is the doctrine of vocation?
> Are the politicians running for election in November, promoting or demoting  the doctrine?
> Do we have to work because of the first sin in the garden?
> Can you define the protestant work ethic?
> Is there such a thing as a Christian job?
> How do we vocationally love our neighbor?
>Will we have to work in heaven?
