BraemarCast: The Podcast of Braemar Baptist Church

Followers of Jesus Christ recognize that God's ultimate plan for all creation won't be fully realized until Jesus comes back.

Without him, our "religion" doesn't exist, as it bears his name. Without his sacrifice, we're lost in our sin, and doomed to eternal separation from God. Without his experience as one of us, we wouldn't have an advocate who personally understands the joys and pain of being human. Without his divinity, he couldn't serve as our divine connection to eternal life, and God...

It's one of those topics that some preachers tend to minimize or avoid altogether, as they don't want to make people feel uncomfortable. But "Sin" is a reality that is central to Christianity and the gospel of Jesus Christ, and it can't be ignored.
