“ Nothing But The Blood ” Great Sermon!
The doctrine of this message is straight gospel. As Joel Beeke points out, the blood of Jesus is the thread that ties the entire Bible together. And that it's ability to bring us out of darkness and into the light is the basis for fellowship with Him and other believers.
