The Ascension | Power & Authority
Shared on: May 16, 2022
In the gratitude and joy of Jesus’ death on the cross and resurrection from the tomb, we can overlook Jesus’ ascension. In His ascension, Jesus took His rightful place at the right hand of God the Father. He has all power and authority in heaven and on earth. By His Spirit, those who follow him, are given this power and authority. Empower your congregation this week with the power and authority of Jesus to be his voice and presence of grace, truth, and love that all will know the glory of God.
