Happy Reformation!
On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted 95 theses on the local church
"bulletin board" calling people to debate the truth of the Bible and how
the church had strayed from that truth. Our class is learning
about Luther's life as well as the amazing discovery he made: WE ARE
SAVED BY GOD'S GRACE - not by good works or money or penance. This led
to a reform of the church and the creation of Protestant churches
around the world.
We are reading a biography of Luther written as if Luther visited sixth
graders at a Lutheran school and ate lunch with them for the week,
modeled after the Table Talks Luther actually had with students for much
of his life. We are also using clips from the Luther Movie
made in 2003. Though there are some fictional details added, the heart
of the movie shows Luther's struggle to understand God and share with
the world about God's love. (Note if you watch- the movie is PG-13 for
some violence and language. Sections for class have been selected as
appropriate for students and our study.) Student also will use modern
"social media" to spread Scripture that refutes the false teaching of
Luther's day through Flipgrid videos.
We will
wrap up our Reformation in the following week as we examine Luther's motto:
Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Scripture Alone, Christ Alone.
