4. Reformation 2017: Christ Alone
As we conclude our study of the Reformation, we come back to where we began. We realize this: that the Reformation is all about the rediscovery of the Gospel when many people and even the church had forgotten. And the Gospel is all about Jesus. God's desire is that every person would be reconciled to Himself by believing in His Son Jesus Christ. Reconciliation comes as a result of forgiveness, and only God can forgive us for our sins against Him.

5. Reformation 2017: Christ Alone
This is why it is through Christ Alone that we can be reconciled to God and be saved. Only God can forgive, and Christ Alone is the One who has made that forgiveness possible. It is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ Alone, not by any of our works or doing, that we are forgiven, reconciled to God, and able to be saved. Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

15. P Most merciful God,
C we confess that we are in bondage to sin and cannot free ourselves. We have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve Your present and eternal punishment. But for the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us and lead us, so that we may delight in Your will and walk in Your ways to the glory of Your holy name. Amen

16. P: Almighty God, in His mercy, has given His Son to die for us and, for His sake, God forgives us all our sins.

C: Amen!

17. PRAYER OF THE DAY(今日祷告)
P: Let us pray:
Merciful Father, You have given Your Son, Jesus Christ, all authority in heaven and on earth. For our sake, He was slain before the foundation of the world. And in all things He has preeminence. O God, we believe and confess that Jesus alone is our Savior. He alone is the center and focus of Your Word and Your Work in the world. All things were created through Him and for Him.

18. PRAYER OF THE DAY(今日祷告)
And He alone is the redeemer of the world. O God, help us to never let our eyes turn away from Jesus. Keep us away from all self- righteousness. Protect our hearts from looking to the things of this world for hope and fulfillment. Instead, help us to fix our eyes on Jesus, who is both the author and the perfecter of our faith.

19. PRAYER OF THE DAY(今日祷告)
This we pray through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit: One God, now and forever. Amen.

Hear me, and from Your dwelling place, Pour down the riches of Your grace:

How can I sing Your worthy fame, The glorious beauty of Your name?
Jesus, my Lord, whom I adore, Help me to Love You more and more!

23. Jesus, how strong Your love must be, That You should come to die for me;
How great the joy that You have brought, So far exceeding hope or thought!
Jesus, my Lord, whom I adore, Help me to love You more and more!

My life is Yours, O Lord divine, And You, dear Saviour, You are mine:

31. Reformation 2017: Christ Alone
SERMON 讲道
Reformation 2017:
Christ Alone
Pastor Scott Rische

32. # 327 A Mighty Fortress is our God
1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and pow’r are great, And armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

33. # 327 A Mighty Fortress is our God
2 Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right man on our side, The man of God’s own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth His name. From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

34. # 327 A Mighty Fortress is our God
3 And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, For lo, his doom is sure:
One little word shall fell him.

35. # 327 A Mighty Fortress is our God
4 That word above all earthly pow’rs, No thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also;
The body they may kill, God’s truth abideth still;
His kingdom is forever.
Amen.

36. APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried.
我信上帝，全能的父，创造天地的主。
我信耶稣基督，上帝的独生子，我们的主，因着圣灵成孕，从童女马利亚所生，在本丢彼拉多手下遇难，被钉在十字架上，死了，葬了。下到地狱。

37. APOSTLES' CREED
He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
第三天从死人里复活。后升天，坐在无所不能的父上帝的右边。将来必从那里降临，审判活人、死人。

38. APOSTLES' CREED
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
我信圣灵，一圣基督教会，圣徒一体相通，罪得赦免、肉身复活、并且永生。阿们。

39. PRAYERS of the CHURCH 教会的祷告
Each week we collect prayer requests from the congregation through the prayer cards. If you would like a prayer card, please raise your hand as the volunteers are coming down the aisles. Return the prayer cards to the pastor or volunteers following the service.

41. P: For the peace from above and for our salvation, let us pray to the Lord:
C: Lord, have mercy.
P: For the peace of the whole world, for the well-being of the Church of God, and for the unity of all, let us pray to the Lord:

42. P: For this holy house and for all who offer here their worship and praise, let us pray to the Lord:

43. P: For Xi Jinping, for all public servants, for the government and those who protect us, that they may be upheld and strengthened in every good deed, let us pray to the Lord:
C: Lord, have mercy.
P: For those work to bring peace, justice, health, and protection in this and every place, let us pray to the Lord:

44. P: For those who bring offerings, those who do good works in this congregation, those who toil, those who sing, and all the people here present who await from the Lord great and abundant mercy, let us pray to the Lord:
C: Lord, have mercy.
P: For favorable weather, for an abundance of the fruits of the earth, and for peaceful times, let us pray to the Lord:

45. P: For our deliverance from all affliction, wrath, danger, and need, let us pray to the Lord:

P: For faith and the salvation of our friends, family, neighbors and coworkers, let us pray to the Lord:
P: For the provision of everything we need for life and godliness, that we might live repentant lives which give honor and glory to our Savior, Jesus Christ, let us pray to the Lord:

46. P: In our lives there are many temptations to look away from Jesus and instead look to ourselves or to the things of this world. O God, lead us away from these temptations and protect us from the lies of the evil one. Especially preserve us from the believing that we have moved beyond the basics of the Gospel to some deeper faith. Instead show us that there is nothing deeper or more worthy of our devotion than Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

47. P: Help us to focus our hearts and minds on Him, knowing Him more, day by day, as we read and meditate on Your Holy Word. Grant us the peace and confidence that you have, indeed, reconciled us to yourself by the precious and holy blood of our loving Savior, Jesus Christ, and Him alone. And by faith in Him, help us to truly live as Your Holy People.
P: Lord, have mercy,
C: Hear our prayer!

48. P: For the next few minutes, I invite you to find one or two people nearby you. Each of you should share one brief prayer request and then pray together. After a few minutes I will conclude our prayer time by praying for the petitions listed in the bulletin insert.
(Pray with each other for the next few minutes!)

A: Into your hands we entrust all for whom we pray, and we pray together the prayer that Jesus taught us, saying, 

51. Your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
C: Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be Your name,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
我们在天上的父， 愿人都尊你的名为圣。
愿你的国降临，愿你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。
我们日用的饮食，今日赐给我们。

52. As we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation,
C: Forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours,
now and forever. Amen.
免我们的债， 如同我们免了人的债。
不叫我们遇见试探， 救我们脱离凶恶。
因为国度、权柄、荣耀，全是你的，直到永远，阿们。
