The Word of the Cross

by Alistair Begg

1 Corinthians 1:18
 (ID: 2741)

The cross stands as the turning point of history. The church, however, is in danger of so trivializing the notion of sin that the cross of Christ loses its meaning. Looking to the example of the apostle Paul, Alistair Begg explains that pastors must preach Christ and Him crucified at every opportunity. The Gospel in all of its fullness provides the only remedy for our greatest need: forgiveness and reconciliation to a holy God.
