Wittenberg to Today: Reforming the Service

Every church has a liturgy, and Scripture must set the standard. From Genesis 4 and Leviticus 10 we learn that not all worship is accepted, while Exodus 25 and Jeremiah 6 call us back to God's pattern and the ancient paths. The Reformation, with Luther's recovery of justification by faith alone, clarifies the gospel and shows that wise fences protect joy. The message concludes with a God-centered vision of worship, warned by Exodus 32 and shaped by the regulative principle so that we come before the King with reverent joy.
