The main point

We are saved not by religious duty but by Christ alone.

About this message

People come to Jesus with a question: John's disciples and the Pharisees fast, so why don't His? Pastor Vitali preaches Mark 2:18-22 and asks each of us how we are being saved. He shows that religious obligation cannot save, that Jesus brings celebration as the Bridegroom, and that He makes us new, like a new garment and new wine. The call is to rest wholly on Christ's righteousness.

For anyone trying to earn God's favor by being good enough.
