Rev. Dr. Leonard Payton, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church in Forest Park, IL joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study the Preface to Luther’s Small Catechism.

The landscape of the 16th century church was bleak. Pastors and members were worshipping, receiving the Sacrament, and leading the church without even knowing the 10 commandments, Creed, or Lord’s Prayer. Martin Luther brought teaching the faith back home. His intention was to make a simple, clear, and concise booklet to breath God’s truth into His people. We begin our study with the same goal: to get back to the basics of God’s Word! Lord help us!
