The corruption of the Roman Catholic Church was spreading. The efforts of John Wycliff, Jan Hus, Erasmus, and Savonarola laid crucial groundwork for a major breakaway yet to come. In this message, Pastor Lutzer draws two lessons from the early Reformers. These men prepared the way for the Gospel to be unearthed from Medieval traditions.

The Reformation had many heroes. The early Reformers opposed church corruption, provided a new edition of the Greek, and opposed rampant sensuality. In this message, we meet Jan Hus, Erasmus, and Savonarola. For defying the church of their day, they would pay for it dearly.

The Roman Catholic Church of the Middle Ages had veered way off course into corruption and doctrinal error. Before Luther, God was already raising up men to speak the truth. In this message, Pastor Lutzer introduces us to John Wycliffe. By making the Bible available to the common man, a much wider and more drastic reform would soon take place.

Our world is suffering, and much of it can be traced to an absence of integrity. We need to instill in ourselves and our children the importance of a sound character—of integrity. In this message, we mark five characteristics of a person of integrity. What does it take to honor our friendships and speak the truth even when it hurts us?
