Why the Reformation Matters: Reformation Profiles with Stephen Nichols

Summary

The sermon explores the Reformation by taking us back to Wittenberg in the 1530s to hear Martin Luther preach on Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac. Luther's vivid storytelling emphasizes the stark reality of life and death during that era, highlighting the constant presence of mortality. The takeaway is that even in the midst of life, we can find assurance of God's watchful presence, mirroring the medieval saying "in the midst of life we are in death" but countering it with God's unwavering care.
