When Christ returns, the Spirit will fully restore God's people, God's world, and God's mission. Discover why our hope isn't a bodiless heaven but resurrection life on a renewed earth, and why God's redemptive mission ends while his creation mission, and your calling, continues forever.

What is the Holy Spirit doing in the world today? Discover how the risen Christ works through his Spirit and church to apply redemption, form a new people (the Church), advance the gospel, make disciples, and carry his redemptive mission to the nations.

Steve Childers traces the eternal Son’s redemptive work from the Old Testament to Christ’s incarnation, life, death, resurrection, and ascension. His decisive victory over sin, death, Satan, and this fallen world secures redemption now, while pointing ahead to the day he returns to complete that victory and renew all things.

Why are things not the way they’re supposed to be? This article explores how humanity’s rebellion against God brought guilt, corruption, brokenness, and distorted mission into the world—and why understanding the depth of the Fall is essential for grasping the greatness of God’s salvation and his continuing mission today.

God’s mission begins not with rescue but creation. Humanity was made in God’s image to enjoy his presence, reflect his character, represent his rule, cultivate his world, and extend his blessing. Though creation was good, it was unfinished; redemption restores people and creation together toward God’s original purposes and flourishing.
