What Stands In The Way?

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 22, 2004

based on 49 ratings

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.

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

"he Ascended Into Heaven"

Contributed by Robert Walderman on Sep 21, 2020

| 2,792 views

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.
