This coming year marks the 500 th year of the day Marin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the Castle Church door in Wittenberg, Germany. Martin Luther disagreed with several teachings of the Roman Catholic Church including the selling of indulgences to the people for repentance by the church. He believed The church s true treasure is Gospel of Jesus Christ.
