Bethlehem Lutheran Invites You To Follow the Footsteps of Martin Luther
The members of Bethlehem Lutheran Church Ridgewood invite you to join us as we continue our Faith Matters email series. The entire series can be accessed at www.bethlehemchurch.com/faithmatters.
One of our members has been researching the life of Martin Luther and has put together a series that will begin May 20 and continue until July 4. It is titled “In the Footsteps of Martin Luther”and the series will continue with the Bible based quotes of Martin Luther during the years 1510-1530. However, in addition to his religious writings we are including historical events and pictures of the places Luther lived and preached.
This email series was written to help Christians understand the foundations of Luther’s theology and how it is both similar and different from Roman Catholic teachings and the beliefs of other Protestant faiths. In the research for this series, we discovered how God is in control of history and works His divine plan through it. Pastor Robert Kolb (Concordia Seminary Professor Emeritus and Luther historian) provided direction on the research.
The Footsteps message will appear as a daily email and be brief. It will follow a chronological sequence of Luther’s pastoral and professorial life.
