  • November 4, 1520: Am I Alone Wise?
    Nov 4 2020

  • November 10, 1520: The Lost Boy
    Nov 10 2020

    On his 37th birthday, Martin Luther's thoughts turn to his troubled past. For most of his life, he was driven by fear, striving to earn God's favor and escape the torments of hell. But today, Luther has true peace with God through faith alone in Christ alone - the very peace that Pope Leo X seeks to steal away.

  • November 17, 1520: The Re-Sacrifice of Christ
    Nov 17 2020

    In teaching that Christ is re-sacrificed in holy communion and that receiving the Mass is a good work, the Roman Catholic Church is keeping souls captive to a false gospel. On this day 500 years ago, Martin Luther's criticism of this doctrine is being printed far and wide. Will his words be his undoing?
