Why is the cross so offensive—and why does that matter for your daily life? In The Wisdom and Power of the Cross, Part 1, RTM founder and director Michael Durham uncovers a neglected truth: the cross is not only where your sins were forgiven, it is the very pattern by which your life must now be lived. This message confronts the deeply rooted instinct to measure spiritual growth by performance, effort, and visible success, and instead redirects you to the shocking standard God has given—the humiliation and triumph of Christ Himself.

Far from a comfortable message, this episode exposes how the cross dismantles self-righteousness, silences human wisdom, and leaves no room for boasting. It reveals a gospel that runs counter to everything natural in us—a salvation accomplished entirely by Another, and a life sustained the same way. If you’ve ever wondered why growth feels elusive or why your efforts fall short, this message will challenge your assumptions and call you back to the only place where true transformation begins: the wisdom and power of the cross.
