The human mindset is often, what do I have to do to get what I want? Nobody wants to go to hell, and some people believe they can avoid it by earthly accomplishments. Today Pastor Mark Balmer will teach listeners that there is only one way to Salvation, and it is not by works. Scripture states that everyone has a need for a Savior, man cannot save himself. As we begin to recognize this, we begin to see God with a much greater view than ever before. If you have been trying to right your wrongs on your own, turn to the One who can, and wants to!

Ignore the attempts of this world which tell you there are multiple ways to Heaven, multiple sources of happiness, and that it is all relative to you. Today Pastor Mark will teach, according to God’s Word, that there is only one way which we might be saved, Jesus. Jesus came and fulfilled everything required of Him in order to deliver you and I from eternity separated from God. He was fully God and fully man, lived a perfect sinless life, and sacrificed Himself for us that we might have eternal life. Do you believe these truths today?
