Stephen Nichols: Reforming Vocation

Summary

The sermon explores the Reformation's doctrine of vocation, emphasizing that God cares about every aspect of human life, not just religious activities. Drawing from biblical texts like 1 Peter 2:9 and 1 Timothy 2:5, the speaker highlights the "priesthood of all believers" and challenges the medieval church's distinction between spiritual and secular work. The key takeaway is that all roles—from family relationships to professional work—are sacred callings from God, and each Christian is called to serve and proclaim the gospel in their unique context.
