Christ in a Post-Christian Culture
What is the proper relationship between Christianity and culture? How does one faithfully witness to Christ in our increasingly secularized society?

Christ in a Pre-Christian Culture
How should we preach Christ in a Post-Christian culture? Surprisingly, the answer to that question is best discovered by examining the way the Apostle Paul preached Christ in the context of his Pre-Christian culture. So on this edition of the White Horse Inn, the hosts are beginning a brief series walking through some of the […]

We Preach Christ Crucified
Countless churches across the country offer relevant messages week after week that focus on wisdom for life, tips for marriage and family, money management, etc. But the Apostle Paul preferred a message of foolishness. Though “Greeks search for wisdom,” he wrote, “we preach Christ crucified.” What are the implications of this approach in our own […]
