U Matters - 26 Oct 2017

by Greg Anderson on October 26, 2017

This Sunday we celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. The Reformers stressed five critical ideas:
Grace Alone
Faith Alone
Christ Alone
God's Glory Alone
Scripture Alone

Tradition and other things crowded out these essentials. In our modern crowded lives we are tempted to make the same mistakes that hurt the medieval Church.
Read that list of five again. How can we continue the Reformation of our lives as well as our church?

Another hallmark of the Reformation was the Priesthood of All Believers. Lay people could be deacons. This Sunday at 9:45 we celebrate the ordination of Roy Huang as a Deacon. Roy has served Union wisely and well, most recently as the Chairman of the COM.

Gratefully
Pastor Greg
