1 Corinthians 1:18-25 | Judge, Save, Sanctify

October 24, 2010 – 4:11 pm

The preaching of the cross is much different. It judges people, saves people and destroys their sinful self confidence, pride and worldly ambition. Old Testament Lesson: Isaiah 29:1-14 http://media.urclearning.org/audio/tm.judgesavesanctify10-24-10.mp3
