Here’s a video you might enjoy. Doug Wilson considers reasons that the gospel is offensive to unbelieving man. He identifies the gospel as inherently offensive and declares that this offense is part of God’s design. He also considers the additional offense that believers sometimes sinfully add to the gospel.
