Kootenai Church: The 500th Anniversary of the Reformation Kootenai Community Church

Questions regarding the Reformation were answered by the elders of Kootenai Church--Jim Osman, Dave Rich, Jess Whetsel, and Cornel Rasor.

In this message, we see the disastrous effects of false doctrine on believers and unbelievers. We have a clear distinction between the teachings of Rome and the Protestant faith on the five Solas of the Reformation. We get a clear call to share the truth with Roman Catholics. An exposition of 1 Timothy 4:13-16. | Download PowerPoint - Roman Catholicism

A look at the two ordinances given to the church: baptism and the Lord’s Supper. This message contrasts the Protestant understanding of these subjects with the Catholic teaching.

An exposition of Romans 4:4-5. An explanation of imputed vs. infused righteousness.

A look at what Luther called “the hinge upon which the whole [Reformation] turns,” the subject of “free will.” This message provides an exposition of 1 Peter 1:3 and a look at what Scripture says regarding the nature of man’s will. Is it free? Is salvation a matter of man’s own independent choosing, or is salvation the work of God?

If you would like further reading on that subject we would recommend these:
The Bondage of the Will by Martin Luther
The Freedom of the Will by Jonathan Edwards
The Plan of Salvation by B.B. Warfield
Institutes of the Christian Religion, John Calvin, Book 2, Chapter 2

A look at the formative principle of the reformation: sola scriptura. What does the Bible say about itself? What is the authority for the life and faith of the believer? In this sermon, we contrast the position of Rome with the Protestant commitment to Sola Scriptura. An exposition of 2 Peter 1:3-4; 19-21.
