The cross is the foundation of everything

Recently Jiroy preached on 2 Corinthians 2:5-17, about welcoming back a repentant sinner. Paul was concerned for the man, and for the cross of Christ, and for the church of Corinth.

I really liked Jiroy's emphasis on the cross as the basis for everything else. We need to look at everything through the cross of Christ, or make the cross the basis for our thinking about everything else. The solution to every problem in the church is found in Christ.

That is the point of this blog. Jesus died and rose again. He is Lord and Saviour. We must build everything on him. The good news of Jesus must be the centre of everything we do. Christian ministry means applying the good news of Jesus to all the different issues that people face, and helping them to stand firm in Jesus and grow mature in him.
