Top 5 moments from Charlie Kirk memorial: 'Missionary with a noble spirit'

By Jon Brown, Christian Post Reporter

1. Pastor Rob McCoy opens with Gospel: 'Guest of honor'

Pastor Rob McCoy, pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel and co-chair of Turning Point Faith, opened Kirk's memorial by sharing the Gospel and emphasizing that Kirk's Christian faith was foundational to his political work.

"Charlie wanted his Savior to be the guest of honor; he wanted all of you to receive this gift from him — the why in what he did. Charlie was never afraid because he knew his life was secure in the hands of God."

"His blood was poured out because blood must be shed for the remission of sins," McCoy said.

"And His (Jesus) death upon that cross was sufficient for all the world's sins, but only efficient for those who, like Charlie, would receive Him as their Savior."

McCoy added, "Charlie looked at politics as an on-ramp to Jesus. He knew if he could get all of you rowing in the streams of liberty, you'd come to its source. And that's the Lord."
