Bilang pagdiriwang ng ika-504 na taon ng Protestant Reformation, inihahandog ng Treasuring Christ PH itong five-week webinar series na pinamagatang “Five Solas for Preaching and Preachers.” Sa bawat session, iisa-isahin nating talakayin ang five solas at titingnan kung ano ang implications nito para sa buhay ng isang pastor at sa kanyang ministeryo.

What is “union with Christ” and why is this important in our understanding and living the Christian life? Why is faith not just our initial response, but also a day-to- day response to the gospel? In what ways do we manifest self-righteousness and self-reliance in living the Christian life and doing our ministries? How does the gospel serve as a corrective to our “fleshly” tendencies?
