In Episode 19 of The Proceeding Word, Ps Brian Heath and Emily Braithwaite return to the very heart of the Christian faith: the purpose of the cross.
This episode explains why the cross is central to the gospel, what Jesus accomplished through His death, and how the cross brings redemption, forgiveness, reconciliation with God, and victory over sin and death. Ps Brian unpacks Scripture to show how Jesus became our substitute, initiated the New Covenant, and made a way for humanity to become sons and daughters of God.
The episode also challenges listeners to move beyond intellectual understanding and respond personally to the message of the cross, concluding with a prayer of salvation and commitment to follow Jesus.
