A Lesson before the Lord’s Supper

 (ID: 1285)

Some contemporary versions of Christian faith reduce the Gospel to the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. But is that all there is to Christianity? How central in our thinking is the cross of Christ? Exploring the apostle Paul’s words to the Corinthian church, Alistair Begg reminds us that we will never understand the Gospel until we understand what our Savior accomplished at Calvary.


Proclaiming Christ Crucified

1And I, when I came to you, brothers,1 xdid not come proclaiming to you ythe testimony2 of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2For I decided to know nothing among you except zJesus Christ and him crucified. 3And aI was with you bin weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of cthe Spirit and of power, 5so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men3 but din the power of God.
