Welcome to the Bible Study. I'm Stephen Lawson, president of One Passion Ministries.

And each week I will teach verse by verse through the passage of scripture

so that you can better understand the word of God

and put it into practice in your life. Join me now as we look together into this

section of the Bible. Let's start in a word of prayer.

Well, Kent's already prayed for us though, he said, so.

He said, he said, we're good, we're good.

We're good.

Father, thank you for bringing us together this morning.

This is such a joy for us to have fellowship before the meeting, after the meeting, and then

during the meeting for us to be instructed and taught, I pray deepened and matured.

So Father, make this a very special study

in the lives of these men.

Fill me with your spirit, use me as a tool as an instrument in your hand in Christ's name.

Amen.

Well, what I want to do is continue looking at the reformers.

And as I just said, we've paused for a moment in our study of Romans to give thought to a group of men who lived in the

16th century who were known as the reformers. We're doing this because October 31st is Reformation Day. It's the day that

Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the front door of the castle church in Vittenberg and so when I was a pastor every

year I would bring a special message on Luther at Reformation Day or one of the other

reformers.

So there's so much to say that I can barely put my arms around what little I'm able to bring to you.
