This week, we took a look at Martin Luther and his quotes. The quotes were new to all of the students since they do not spend their days and nights reading Luther. But, we went through them and I believe that they got a better grasp of who he was and what some of the premises were for the “lutheran” movement that has sprung up because of his thought and passion on religion and church.

Here were some of the key words that came out in our lesson:

faith, salvation and gift

Students, can you give us a definition of these terms ?

The Big Idea

Faith is a gift from God

Learning Goal

Learners will understand that God works through Christ proclaimed to create faith in us.

Some of the Quotes

# 2 – Sin Boldly

# 4 – The human will is placed between God and the Devil like a beast of burden

# 10 – I don’t know any other comfort, help or counsel for my salvation except that Christ is my mercy seat

Class, what quotes sttod out to you ?
