What Christ Calls His Followers To Do – John Piper

What does it mean to “believe” in Christ, to pick up your cross and follow Him? Pastor Piper explains these words biblically. His sermon is extremely valuable because Christian culture gets these things very wrong. This post contains a 12 minute excerpt of his 64 minute sermon; it also contains the entire sermon for those who want to know the foundation he laid before he got to the crux of the text that is stated in excerpt; and the application he proposed after the excerpt. Hopefully, the excerpt will whet your appetite to hear the entire sermon, it is valuable in this time of false gospel messages and short cuts to the Christian life

The Gospel of Jesus Christ, Preached by Furtick, Sproul, Baucham, MacArthur and Lawson

The video is a compilation of preachers talking about the ‘gospel’ of God. If you have been a little fuzzy on what the term ‘gospel’ means, then you should have a clearer definition of it by the time you finish reading the sermon highlights and listening to the 23 minute video. …The video opens with Steven Furtick preaching his gospel; following him, R. C. Sproul concisely defines the gospel; then Voddie Baucham gives a lengthier and fuller definition; Dr. MacArthur follows Baucham with a brief definition and the video closes with Dr. S. Lawson saying a few things about the gospel. [Sermon highlights are given for those who do not have 23 minutes to listen to the great video]

The Gospel of Redemption – Voddie Baucham

In the following 5 minute sermon excerpt, Dr. Voddie Baucham explains the gospel of redemption; his purpose in doing so is to clarify the difference between a man-centered gospel and a God-centered gospel.  This culture has long believed that the gospel is about them and has wrongly presented the gospel in that way to those who do not know Christ.
