Faith Alone (3 of 3)
Series: Nailed It: Why the Reformation Still Matters
Scott Maze
Acts 15:1-35
Video of Sean Lynch visiting Wittenburg to be shown before me. We continue our series on Why the Reformation matters today by looking at the importance of faith. One of the critical pieces that came out of the Reformation was the belief that Faith Alone makes me acceptable to God. We will return back to Sean's story a little later today.
500 years after Luther nailed his protest to the door of his local church in Wittenburg, the principles that shaped the Reformation still matter. This monk with a mallet changed the conversation and led a time when people everywhere rediscovered the gospel. In a summer of 2017, Pew Research Center survey, 46% of individuals believe faith alone is all that is needed to get to heaven. Leaving around half of American Christians believing it is both good deeds and faith that get you into heaven. When I see this, I say ''Uh Oh!''
Turn to Acts 15 with me and as you're turning ... Next Sunday, we begin the week of prayer for missions and Greg will be preaching in all three NRHBC services and by video at Cross Church, will join us. Greg will be kicking off our week of prayer for missions next Sunday.
Acts 15
God had sent the Holy Spirit on a 120 believers after His resurrection. Peter had preached the first sermon on the Day of Pentecost. 3,000 people were saved in 1 day and the church was off to the races. Jesus had promised that when the Holy Spirit came on the believers, they would be His witnesses: ''But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth'' (Acts 1:8). It was a breathtaking prediction and commandment. Jesus was asking His Jewish followers to take the gospel which is the message of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ to people of no religion and people of different religions. It ...
