July 5, 2024

Our nation is adrift in a sea of moral relativism with no answer to the problem of guilt. The cross of Christ is the moral compass we need. In this message from 1 Corinthians 6, Pastor Lutzer challenges us to proclaim the Gospel outside church walls, and to purify the church within our walls. Our faulty morality can only be changed by Christ.
