The Word and the Cross
Formerly known as "Hackberry House of Chosun" at sermonaudio.com, this collection of messages is now known as "The Word and the Cross", to more accurately convey the theme running throughout the over 3,000 recordings.
The Word and the Cross is a veritable library of the Christian faith. You’ll find readings of the great preachers like Spurgeon (400 plus of his messages). There’s stories of great Christians, Fanny Crosby, George Muller, David Livingstone, and others. There’s commentaries on many of the Bible’s books. The Word of God and its integrity has been one of the passions of my life.
But I’ve shared that passion with another: a desire to do something with and for the persecuted part of the church, especially in North Korea.
You will find at each episode description a way to access the 90 different categories into which the site is divided, plus a way to contact me by email or text for any questions.
May the Lord bless our fellowship together… and tell a friend, will you?
