The Ascension
Apr 24, 2022 • Pastor Andrew Hamilton
40 days after the resurrection, from a top of the Mount of Olives, Jesus gave his disciples one last commission. Luke records our core verse for this upcoming week in Acts 1:9 “When he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.”
While Jesus was talking to his disciples, he began to rise from the earth. Eventually angels broke the awkward silence of the bewildered disciples of Jesus. This weekend, Pastor Andy will unpack two questions: Did the ascension actually happen? and How does Jesus’ ascension help us fulfill our commission?
