Luther’s Small Catechism. 1st & 2nd Commandments: The idol factory.

Your god is whatever you fear, love, and trust in above the Triune God. Luther called our hearts an “idol factory” that is ready to trust the newest god on the block. Yet, the one true God has given us access to His name through Christ and in return we pray, praise, and give thanks! Lord have mercy. Rev. Dr. John Pless, Assistant professor of pastoral ministry and missions at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study the 1st and 2nd commandments of Luther’s Small Catechism. Find your copy of the Book of Concord - Concordia Reader's Edition at cph.org or read online at bookofconcord.org. Study the Lutheran Confession of Faith found in the Book of Concord with lively discussions led by host Rev. Brady Finnern, President of the LCMS Minnesota North District, and guest LCMS pastors. Join us as these Christ-confessing Concordians read through and discuss our Lutheran doctrine in the Book of Concord in order to gain a deeper understanding of our Lutheran faith and practical application for our vocations.
