    Jesus expects us to be witnesses throughout the world until His return. We are not to stand around wasting time. We are to be the disciples that we were called to be.

    Introduction: Listening to our friends or relatives, at times it is hard to believe some of the stuff that they say.

    Out Of Sight

    For Ascension Sunday: Whether we work diligently when our supervisor is out of sight is a measure of commitment and character. Compare Matthias, who took a job he did not ask for; and Joseph Justus, who was passed over.

    When you see your supervisor, you work. When you do not see your supervisor, you may work, but your work style is likely to slow down. The difference between those two things is the measure of your character and your commitment. When you see your supervisor, you work diligently. You know that ...read more
