How is the church to differ from the world? In this sermon, Alistair Begg explains several characteristics that should distinguish God’s people. Scripture calls us, for instance, to be radically content in all circumstances. Church leaders, meanwhile, are to be driven by a care for God’s people and His glory. Finally, strange teachings—especially those that contradict the Gospel—must be rejected. Instead, we are to embrace the disgrace that comes from siding with the crucified Christ.
