Some of the notes I took yesterday:
Sol Deo Gloria prioritizes the glory of God above all.
Glory is the holiness of God on display,
His Own infinite worth.
The glory of God unifies all of Scripture:
The glory of God in Himself,
The glory of God in history,
The glory of God in His people.
The glory of God is incompatible with sin.
We were created to reflect the radiance of the Son.
God made the world that He might communicate,
and the creature receive, His glory.
PS on first post: not a dew weeks, but a few weeks

That sounds very appropriate for the Reformation
. So...if you're already on Soli Deo Gloria, does that mean you've already been through all of them?
We are not necessarily doing them in order, and may spend next Sunday on Soli Deo Gloria, too, because there is so much associated with it. The reason why we are not going through them in order is because our church has grown and has two locations now, with more elders and another pastor, who switch things up and trade off locations occasionally, and rather than each preaching two different teachings over two Sundays, now have the option of preparing once for the two weeks, so that they can teach the same sermon in each location. I missed last week being sick, and did not start taking notes until October 1st, when we covered Sola GratiaThat sounds very appropriate for the Reformation
Are you marking the anniversary in any way?

Tempting to tack up the 95 theses onto a Catholic Church Saturday Night, but, nahhhh, not really.

Not really a good answer. They really are "reforming" the reformation by creating a new gospel to fit today.

Lol. The 95 theses are pretty Catholic themselves
. I was shocked when I read them the first time. Luther was still being sanctified, for sure. Well, some are still trying to carry on the reformation and reform in a good way. I can always assume that's what is meant here, and if it is that is a very good answer

We are doing a whole day marathon of teaching and themed-games and such. It sounds like a lot of fun but also is kind of scary because they're fitting like, six mini lecture videos into one day! And then we have food and games and singing between them. I am also making a period-looking German costume to wear for the day

Luther was politely asking his fellow Catholic clergymen to gather together and talk over indulgences. And it was politely asking them alone, because most people going to church that Sunday couldn't read or write Latin.Lol. The 95 theses are pretty Catholic themselves

Little flaw with the plan. This new thingy was invented called the printing press, and some of the people going to church that Sunday were his students, who could understand it. So they translated it into English and printed it out. Shortly after that, Rome got a copy.
500 years later, and the RCC is still teaching/selling indulgences.

(If you ever feel odd about that, be thankful you weren't me. I was the kid who put on a RinTinTin costume to play Toto in the schoolyard at recess, while we were in our "Let's play Wizard of Oz" phase. Now, that's odd! Wearing people clothes is perfectly normal.)

I don't feel odd. (but then I've never tried being RinTinTin
); there are places for costumes and places where they aren't quite appropriate. I grab every opportunity that they ARE appropriate and wear them as much as possible
