     | 187 views

    40 days after the resurrection is the ascension. But as Jesus is ascending into heaven he is sending those left behind out into the world to make disciples and to transform the world. To discover unexpected joy in serving and giving.

    Sent Into the World 13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My ...read more

    Luke’s account of Jesus’ ascension into heaven gives us a "goodbye" unlike any we have ever heard.

    “Good-bye! It was great visiting with you. Let’s keep in touch! See you in a few months!” Without bringing tears to the eyes of those of you who hate to say goodbye I want all of you to bring to mind a time when you were saying goodbye to family or friends.

    It’s worth following Jesus—even if it brings mistreatment—because, in the end, there will be victory.

    THE BIG IDEA: It’s worth following Jesus—even if it brings mistreatment—because, in the end, there will be VICTORY. Think about how absurd Christianity sounded back when it was brand new (in the first century): Christians worship a man who was executed as a criminal and who they claim came back to ...read more

     | 5,174 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
