What if the priorities of your church and the priorities of God’s Word were worlds apart? This realization launched the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation as figures like Martin Luther and John Calvin worked to bring the church back under the authority of Scripture. Slowed by opposition, Calvin wrote to defend the necessity of reforming the church. This work could not wait, for souls were on the line.
In this new video teaching series, Dr. W. Robert Godfrey gathers insights from Calvin’s treatise to ask penetrating questions for Christians and congregations today. Far from being over, the work of reforming the church is still needed—and it cannot wait.
