For Sunday the 27th of October, 2024 (Festival of the Reformation)
As we gather for worship Sunday to celebrate the Feast of the Reformation, the readings from God’s word emphasize the truth that our salvation is His doing, not the result of our own efforts. We are forgiven and blessed with an eternal inheritance in heaven by grace, that is solely because of God’s love and mercy. We see that love most astonishingly in His gift of Jesus, who by His perfect obedience and innocent death won forgiveness and salvation for sinners. And these gifts are ours through faith, so that all who believe are children of God and heirs of heaven. What a wonderful God we have who has done all this for us, and given us His Word so that we may know it and trust in Him!
