''For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed-a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: 'The righteous will live by faith.''' Romans 1:17
Reformation Sunday commemorates one of the most important days in church history.

Today we will briefly sketch the life of the great reformer, Martin Luther, and give attention to his central message of the Gospel from Romans 1:17 and 1 Corinthians 1:18-25.
