VERSE OF THE WEEK

Bible Verse for the Week of October 25, 2026

 Ephesians 2:8–9
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 
 
Paulos ai generated g588b476f3 1920
It's Reformation Sunday
  • The Origin: It honors October 31, 1517, when the German monk and professor Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. 
  • The Purpose: Luther originally wrote the 95 Theses to challenge Catholic church practices—most notably the selling of indulgences (certificates to reduce punishment for sins)—sparking a movement that reshaped Western Christianity. 
  • Core Theology: The day emphasizes central Protestant beliefs, such as salvation and forgiveness coming through God's grace and faith alone (rather than through human works or purchases).

WEAR RED this Sunday in celebration of Reformation Sunday where we remember the work of Martin Luther and the tenets of our faith.
