Dear Friend,

Warmest Christian greetings to you and your family as, together, we navigate uncharted waters.

A very long time ago, right here in this world,
there was a garden.
In the garden, everything was wonderful.
The world was full of laughing
and playing and smiling and fun.
There was nothing bad, ever.
There was no one sad, ever.
And best of all… God was there!

Burdened by his works-based religion, Martin Luther knew no peace until God’s Spirit revealed the Gospel’s message of grace. At his conversion, Luther acknowledged that salvation is not based on merit; rather, it comes by grace alone, through faith alone, and in Christ alone. In this Reformation Sunday sermon, Alistair Begg highlights the grace and love of God, who works to call sinners to Himself. Whether we are weighed down by failure or enslaved to pride, we can find forgiveness at the cross of Jesus.
