Crucifixion is at the center of Christianity. Yet Paul calls the cross of Jesus a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to the Greeks. Removed as we are from that culture, we often miss just how shocking crucifixion was. We wear gold crosses as...

Jonathan AkinPreachers and teachers of God’s Word carry an immense responsibility. We must handle Scripture faithfully with the goal of pointing our listeners always to Jesus, the true hero of the entire Bible. This goal feels particularly challenging when we...
Joshua JippFor many Christians, the importance of the resurrection seems simply to be that it validates the more fundamental saving work of Christ, namely, his atoning death on the cross. While the cross is indeed absolutely central to how Christ saves, the...
