Sad times… it’s the final afternoon celebration at Bible by the Beach… where we welcome Michael Baughen, formerly Rector of All Souls, Langham Place, and Bishop of Chester.
2 Corinthians 5:9 – 6:2
At the end of a conference… there must be a commissioning message… sent out theologically fatter, and evangelically fitter!
The Corinthians wanted a ‘comfortable Christianity’… they had a ‘get get get’ attitude! We need a ‘give give give’ attitude!
The commitment to our crucified Lord – Whether home or away (5:9)
The compulsion of the cross – a controlling love (5:14)
The cross needs to be a the centre of all life – the the horizon on a plane… the message of the cross, his person and work brings reconciliation – a message our nation needs so desperately! We preach Jesus Christ AND Him Crucified!
May we lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim, till all the world adore, his sacred name!
