On this Reformation Sunday, Pastor Beth couples the early teachings of Martin Luther with our present-day spiritual life. We are rooted. Because of the faith and traditions that came before us, we are firmly planted in God’s Word. We are resilient. The spirit is breathed into us; we grow and blossom in God’s love. And when we are threatened or knocked down, He picks us up and brings us back. We are reforming. God’s forgiveness is ours, over and over and over again so we can start anew…more faithful, more compassionate, more forgiving as we are forgiven.
We were reminded, God is not done with us yet! As Martin Luther challenged the Church to take a look at who God is and to find new ways to express his love, we are challenged to reform ourselves to reflect more purely the God who lives within us.
