OUR PLACE IN REDEMPTIVE HISTORY! Sunday, July 6, 2008 John Kimber

POTENTIAL is no longer a dirty word! God has given us incredible POTENTIAL.

What I mean when I say Redemptive History is… Redemptive history is a general term to describe the study of God's acts of redemption from creation to the present. Although a broad field of study, all of redemptive history can be said to climax and culminate in the Cross, encompassing Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.

My question is: Where is our place in redemptive history?
