The Sacraments: Luther’s Vision for a Spirit-Filled, Inclusive Church

What did Martin Luther truly believe about the sacraments — and how do they shape our life as the Church today?

In this third message of our series on The Legacy of Martin Luther, we explore Luther’s sacramental theology: his radical return to the essentials of baptism and Holy Communion, his insistence on grace over worthiness, and his deep conviction that these sacred acts should be communal, Spirit-filled, invitational, and inclusive. In baptism and the Lord’s Supper, Luther saw the tangible, earthy presence of God breaking into our lives — not because we are worthy, but because God is good.
