As I was traveling over the weekend I listened to a few sermons from a wide variety of pastors: Charles Stanley, Jon Weece (Southland Christian Church) and Mark Driscoll.
Driscoll had an excellent sermon on the Cross from his doctrine series – if you don’t mind the fact that he used the phrase “I don’t give [...]
