"he Ascended Into Heaven"

Contributed by Robert Walderman on Sep 21, 2020

Of all the aspects of Christ’s life, his birth, life, death and resurrection, the ascension gets little attention. This is unfortunate because it is something of the ‘Ticker-tape’ parade in God’s plan and yet few show up to applaud.

The excitement increase should your team make the playoffs. Each game now carries greater importance. In fact, in football loose and ...read more

Out Of Sight

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 4, 2008

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

Jesus Never Forgets Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Nov 29, 2019

The persecution faced by the church of the Thessalonians was causing them to think that Jesus had forgotten them. By focusing on the end times Paul teaches them, and us, that Jesus never forgets and we are always seen - even when we don't fully understand.
