Synopsis: Beginning with Martin Luther, the Reformation theologians used five phrases to describe the essentials of the Christian faith. These are described as the five “Sola’s”, a Latin word meaning “alone”.

  1. Sola Scriptura – Scripture alone
  2. Solus Christus – Christ alone
  3. Sola Fide – Faith alone
  4. Sola Gratia – Grace alone
  5. Soli Deo Gloria – Glory to God alone

The first four of these phrases concern our relationship with God and our salvation. Today we’ll look at the fifth phrase and the goal and plan behind our salvation.

Synopsis: Place yourself in the position of the disciples. The natural question to ask is, what now? For three years they had followed Jesus, listened to His teachings, watched Him perform signs, and now they thought He was gone, so now what? Following some appearances to the disciples and others, Jesus tells them to wait in Jerusalem for the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Synopsis: Ironically, Easter is the easiest and one of the most difficult services for Pastors – often times we fall into the trap of wanting to preach something new on the story everyone knows. I decided many years ago that Easter is not the time for something new. God gave us this great story – our story – and we need to hear it over and over and over again – or else we could fall into the trap that the Corinthians fell into.

Easter, it demands that we make a decision. Do we believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ? Do we believe that Jesus died for our sins on the cross? Do we believe Jesus to be, The Way, The Truth, and The Life?
