How many steps do Muslims need to take to get to God? Have you been speaking about Jesus to a Muslim friend, but they haven’t yet come to a point of salvation? Let Dale Fagerland share an encouraging story with you about his relationship with a Muslim friend, and how far God will go to rescue and redeem! Do you listen through iTunes, Google Play, or Stitcher? Give us a rating!   

The concept of salvation is pretty central to Christian belief: we believe that we are all sinners who need to be saved, and we’re forever grateful for Jesus’s sacrifice! However, when we’re sharing our faith with Muslims, do they have the same view of sin and a need for a savior? That’s the topic for today’s podcast, and Ken Ferguson is going to walk us through it!   

What would you do if you couldn’t go to God with your problems and concerns? Dale Fagerland is exploring the different paths Muslims take to find help and answers on today’s podcast. Join us in prayer for Muslims every week at JumaaPrayer.org, and the Jumaa Prayer Twitter and Facebook pages!   

This topic has been the focus of debate for years, and we’re hoping that Ken Ferguson’s take on it will give you some new insights! He’s breaking down the difference between the Christian and Muslim views of God on today’s Coffee Break.   Subscribe with your favorite podcast service!
