A Reformation Day Sermon John 8:31-36

Text:  John 8:31-36
Theme:  "Christ's Word Will Set You Free!"
Location:  Mt. Zion Lutheran Church, Little Cove (rural Mercersburg), PA

Reformation Sunday is one of my favorite festivals of the church year.  Not because it's a "Lutheran Pride" Sunday, but because it is a day we give thanks for the rediscovery of the Gospel that Martin Luther brought back into the church of his day, and the challenge the church  has to keep the message of Christ Crucified that is revealed to us through God's Word as the center of our proclamation today.  This sermon encourages us to find our true freedom in that story of Christ revealed to us in the Scriptures!

(Note:  I wish to apologize for the darkened video.  The lighting in the Mt. Zion church didn't lend itself to a good video recording for this particular sermon.)
