At the cross, we see the worst that sin can do, as humanity - of which each one of us is a part - crucified the Lord. But at the cross, we also see that the most that sin can do cannot thwart God's salvation.

To preach the gospel is to show people their need for salvation against a backdrop of God's nature and the character of sin, and then present Jesus as the only remedy for what ails them and the world. In my weekly preaching in the worship services I always call people to believe in Christ.

The key to continual and deeper spiritual renewal and revival is the continual re-discovery of the gospel.

Unless you point to the good news of God's grace people will not be able to bear the bad news of God's judgement.

Christmas is telling you that you could never get to heaven on your own. God had to come to you.

Jesus Christ doesn’t just give us truths; he is the truth. Jesus Christ is the prophet to end all prophets. He gives us hard-copy words from God, truths on which we can build our lives, truths we have to submit to, truths we have to obey, and truths we have to build our lives on, but he himself is the truth.

If anything becomes more fundamental than God to your happiness, meaning of life, and identity then it is an idol.
