Introduction to the Formula of Concord

The story from 1546 until 1580 is one of courage and cowardice, weakness and strength. The LORD used that season to clarify how we as God’s people confess the Truth of the Word. What would end up being 12 articles of Truth addressing the doctrinal issues of the day has a backstory of politics, war, personalities, and false doctrine. 

“Help us, dear Heavenly Father to be faithful to Your Word and live holy lives according to it. Amen”

Rev. Andy Wright, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church, Topeka, KS, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to begin a new series on the Formula of Concord.
