Ignite Part 2: A message on the finished work of Christ on the cross and life-giving resurrection. [Craig Cooper]

Show Notes

Jesus Christ came purposed to die for our sins and be resurrected for our salvation (Rom 4:25). It's not overly simplistic to say that the fundamental mission of Christ's time on earth was the salvation of all who will receive Him as Savior and Lord (Luke 19:10, John 1:12). His coming and offering of salvation has not only changed people's lives for eternity but ushered in a movement that has literally changed the world. Since the time of Christ, His church has been a significant source of social services like schooling and medical care and inspiration for art, culture and philosophy, politics, and world affairs. Jesus taught His followers to pray, "God's kingdom come, His will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matt 6:10). This prayer is not merely an expectant yearning for the coming of Christ in the future but also a desire to see God's kingdom broaden and become increasingly established throughout the world in the here and now. Christ's coming ignited a movement that transforms His followers, unleashing them as change agents in our culture. In our series Ignite, we look at the finished work of Christ on the cross that changes the believer and sets them ablaze as world changers.
