    Jesus Calls Us Into His Mission

    As with the Apostles, today’s Church is called to be the Church in mission. This short sermon also emphasises that we must not ’star gaze’. We are simply to be involved in God’s mission.

    Sadly as I preach this morning there will be ‘preachers’ stating that Jesus did not ascend vertically into heaven; and whilst I will not today have the opportunity to challenge such false teachers let’s remind ourselves of this: After appearing to the disciples “many times in ways that proved ...read more

    Benefits for believers of Christ in His ascencion.

    1In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that ...read more

    The one necessary ingredient for effective service before the Lord is power. This is what few contemporary Christians have, perhaps because they are uncertain what they should look for.

    You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. When the disciples came down from the upper room, an impossible task loomed before them. They were charged to announce that Jesus ...read more

    Some churches are so focused on overseas missions that they miss the mission field in their own backyard. Jesus said we’d be his witnesses at home as well as abroad.

    Missions in Our Backyard QUOTE: Oswald Smith "The light that shines farthest shines brightest near home" Churches so focused on overseas they neglected their own mission - declined and closed!

    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

    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.
