Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 7 & 8. The Church

Concord Matters from KFUO Radio

The definition of the Church is simple: Believers in the blood of Christ for their salvation join around the Gospel and rightly-administered sacraments according to God’s Word. The Concordians directly addressed the Roman Catholic Church’s view of papal authority, which led to many different opinions based on the pope’s thoughts. The Church is not based on the same traditions but centers on the Gospel. The Church is the body of Christ; that is, we live because we are connected to the True Vine. The Church will remain until the end of the world as Christ reigns at the right hand of God until He returns.

Rev. Terry Forke, President of the Montana District of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study articles 7 & 8 of the Apology of the Augsburg Confession.
