I once heard it preached that if the gospel does not offend it is not the gospel ...By its nature it offends the natural man that thinks he can earn heaven

that would be Spurgeon, he used to relish seeing them get mad and walk out of the church on sunday. Maybe he even coined the term, “Don’t let the church almerie strike you on the buttocks on the way out”

I have heard similar things, that the point of hearing the Gospel isn’t to make us comfortable, it is to make us UNCOMFORTABLE, if we aren’t uncomfortable, we aren’t getting the message.
