REVIVE: power of the cross

‘The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who are being saved it is the very power of God.’

The words of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians opened REVIVE, Co-Mission’s Annual Bible Festival which took place at the University of Kent at Canterbury in June. In a Big Top filled with attendees from 28 Co-Mission churches across London, the weekend began with an evening of praise, prayer, interviews and a talk by Richard Coekin, CEO of Co-Mission, on ‘The Power of the Cross’. While the message of Christ crucified is despised as weak and foolish by the world, it is central to the Bible, history and Co-Mission. Indeed, it remains the only way that Co-Mission will grow as a network.

This year’s theme considered the eternal impact of the cross of Christ. Helping attendees think deeply about the topics of particular atonement, redemption, propitiation, and justification, were Kevin DeYoung (Senior Pastor, Christ Covenant Church, North Carolina); Yannick Christos-Wahab (Co-pastor at Brixton Local Church); Jason Roach (Senior Pastor, the Bridge Battersea); and Ed Drew (Director of ‘Faith in Kids’) who led the all-age service.
