Banning Presents Second
In Summer Message Series
ATWOOD – Atwood Otterbein Church Pastor David Banning presented the second in his summer message series titled “How Does God Save.” He tackled the century-old question of what does it mean to be saved … and from what … and what is salvation anyway? He shared that the answer requires a brutal assessment of who we are. As Paul reminded us, we are all sinners, and we must be saved from ourselves.
