    Jesus gave his disciples a new sense of purpose, a new sense of joy, at his ascension.

    Luke 24:44-53: ON CHRIST’S ASCENSION, FIND YOUR PURPOSE, AND FIND YOUR JOY In our country, and really all over the world, sports are a big thing. People like to be on teams – baseball teams, basketball teams. And if you’re on a team that’s winning, it’s even better. As your team heads for the ...read more

    Chores are what are done around the house, the work is in the fields. See the difference in this message.

    AFTER THE CHORES ARE DONE Text: Acts 1:1-8 I know it seems as if we have been here before. But this is a passage worth the revisit. The Great Commission is given, and Jesus ascends. We have heard this time and time again. But as we get into the Word today hopefully we will receive yet another ...read more

    Why is the Ascension of Christ so important to us today? What are the promises He made when he left?

    Iliff & Saltillo May 23, 2004 Ascension Sunday "Seeing Him Go" Mark 16:19-20 Acts 1:1-11 INTRODUCTION: Although Jesus had discouraged his followers from expecting an earthly kingdom, the idea was deeply ingrained in them that they couldn’t forget it. After the resurrection, ...read more

    The Resurrection is the one doctrine that is central to the faith -- all our faith stands or falls on the reality of the resurrection.

    Several years ago, I took a group of kids to a church camp. Now there were lots of great things about summer church camp. We had swimming and boating and hiking – and those were wonderful. But those weren’t the most memorable things of church camp. We had crafts and cookouts -- and those ...read more

    A sermon that attempts to interpret the ascension of Jesus for the believer today.

    Taken up before their very eyes Acts Chapter 1: 1 - 12 I once knew a man whose family had been very successful in business. One of the principles that he had learned had been – buy in bulk. The sound principle he had been taught meant that if you bought a lot you got it at a better price and, ...read more

    What Stands In The Way?

     | 5,332 views

    For Ascension Sunday; and in preparation for my retirement as pastor. What stands in our way? Exhaustion? Gather all, gather the marginalized, and pray. Planless? Remember our core values and do them. Lack of urgency? We are accountable to God.

    When a leader and those he leads part company, we learn a whole lot about both of them. Their true values become apparent. The things they are really about become clear. There is no more game-playing when it is time for a leader and those he leads to part company. Sometimes they separate ...read more

    Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, Jesus has provided the church everything we need to accomplish His Will in this world.

    How many of you here this morning have had someone close to you die? (raise hands) I don’t think there is another crisis in life quite like that one. When someone that you have spent your life with is taken away from you, there is a tremendous void, a gaping hole that for the rest of your life will ...read more

    First in a series on the early church from Acts 1-4. This message deals with how to wait on God.

    Note: Although my outline is very similar to a great sermon by Medford Foskey on this same passage, I only read his sermon after completing most of the work on mine. However I did "steal" his opening story. “It is a sin to be good if God has called us to be great.” That is the first line from ...read more

    The Power Of The Holy Spirit Series

     | 16,617 views

    The outpouring of the Holy Spirit is not a ritual but real; it is the coming of a Person. It is not about a program but a power. It is not about propaganda but witnessing.

    Jesus gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem…” • They need to wait. No time frame was given but they were called to wait. • Apparently this is really important. They need to receive the gift the Father has promised – the baptism of the Holy Spirit. • They are not to leave the city until ...read more

    In this message we take a look at the early church in Jerusalem and how God radically changed the people and how they in turn radically changed the world.

    Power to Change the World Acts 1:1-11 A group of travelers were being made to wait on their airplane which was late due to another flight being cancelled. The crowd had become very impatient as the time went on. Finally a very angry man who really overestimated his importance pushed his way to ...read more

    Expanding our understanding of the Kingdom, Embracing our call to be a Witness, and, Encountering the power of the Spirit.

    Pre-Reading Introduction Before we come to our reading, a brief word of introduction. Three things: 1. It’s always good to bear in mind that the book of Acts is a sequel – it’s part 2. Luke first wrote the Gospel that bears his name. 2. In Acts 1:1, Luke says in his Gospel he wrote about what ...read more
