Scripture Alone (2 of 3)
Series: Nailed It: Why the Reformation Stills Matters
Scott Maze
Acts 17:10-15
This year we celebrate the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's nailing the 95 theses to the Wittenburg Door. On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed a protest against the Wittenburg Church door against the church's selling of indulgences. This was a catalyst to make real and lasting changes in the church for all these 500 years. This was the ''starting gun,'' if you will where a monk and a mallet make real and lasting changes to our entire world. But at the heart of this 500th anniversary is a rediscovery of the gospel. Like barnacles on a ship, traditions had gathered around the gospel so that the gospel was no longer clearly visible. We are journeying through the book of Acts together and because this is the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, we are telling the story of Martin Luther. The Reformation is bigger than this one man but the sake for clarity we are focusing on him. Now Luther is so significant that Martin Luther King, Jr.'s father, renamed himself and his son after visiting Germany in the 1930s.
For a long time, the legacy Reformation has been defined by the Five Solas.

Today, I want to speak to you on the importance of the Bible. We need the Bible because you cannot know God unless you believe and obey the Word of God. I read a most fascinating story about Charles Haddon Spurgeon recently. They had just finished building the great Metropolitan Tabernacle in London which at that time was the largest auditorium in the world seating thousands of people. Spurgeon had gone down to the church and was standing in the pulpit just to test the acoustics. And unknown to him there was a janitor back in the back sweeping, Spurgeon went to the pulpit and simple said these words, ''Behold the lamb of God that taketh a ...
