It has now been 500 years since Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. The impact that God would bring as a result of this decision could hardly have been fathomed by those courageous men and women who stood firm, by faith, against such great opposition. The truths which God preserved through their sacrifice are among the most precious of our faith. Use this media to help celebrate God's work through the Protestant Reformation as you teach your community about the priceless doctrines of grace set forth in the Scriptures.
