Old Wine and New: Occasional Discourses

"Old Wine and New: Occasional Discourses" by Joseph Cross is a compilation of sermons expressing Christian ideas, primarily concerning hope, rest, and redemption. The book showcases sermons from Cross's ministry, connecting his past thoughts with his followers through Christian truths. The collection starts with reflections on the uncertainties of the afterlife, as viewed, in part, by ancient philosophers. Cross highlights how redemption through Christ's resurrection gives Christians assurance as "children of God," promising eternal life and understanding of our future when Christ returns. By integrating personal thought with scripture interpretations, Cross hopes to provide spiritual wisdom and inspire his readers to embrace their faith even when facing doubt.
