Crucifixion

Crucifixion

Author: A Word Fitly Spoken April 9, 2020 Duration: 1:00:03
The crucifixion of Christ looms large in our mind and our art, but how did it actually happen?  How did the Romans carry out their work?  Where did it come from?  Yet despite the historical details, the fact remains that the cross was the most fitting way for Christ to die, because God chose it from before the foundation of the world.  Join us for a discussion on the details, the stigma, and the glory of the cross of Christ. Hosts: Rev. Willie Grills and Rev. Zelwyn HeideRegular Guest: Rev.

There’s a particular richness that comes from seeing the whole story, from tracing a thread through centuries and discovering it’s still holding strong today. That’s the journey offered by A Word Fitly Spoken Podcast. Rather than offering quick takes, each episode settles into a deliberate and thoughtful exploration of the Bible, treating Scripture with both reverence and intellectual curiosity. The focus remains fixed on presenting Jesus Christ in his complete character and work, drawing directly from the biblical text. What makes this podcast distinct is how it consistently connects this deep scriptural study to the lived experience of faith across time. You’ll hear how the truths of God’s Word have been understood, defended, and have borne tangible fruit throughout the broad sweep of church history. This approach provides listeners with a grounded, historical perspective that deepens contemporary faith. The conversations and teachings here are for anyone weary of fragmented spirituality, offering instead a cohesive vision of Christianity that is both ancient and urgently relevant. Tuning in feels less like consuming content and more like joining a thoughtful, ongoing discussion about the foundations that have sustained believers for generations.
