Sermon On A Trip Home

Contributed by William Meakin on Apr 29, 2023

The Ascension of Jesus has been defined as the Christian belief, reflected in the major Christian creeds and confessional statements, that Jesus ascended to heaven forty days after His resurrection, where He was glorified, exalted as Lord and Christ, sitting at the right hand of God.

Mohadesa Najumi, a female British writer once remarked: “Life is a useless passion, an exciting journey of a mammal in survival mode. Each day is a miracle, a blessing unexplored and the more you immerse yourself in light, the less you will feel the darkness. There is more to life than nothingness. ...read more

Evidence Of Christ's Return

Contributed by Grant Adams on May 20, 2023

The resurrection of Jesus was unexpected, and beyond human explanation and understanding, and in violation of all-natural laws.

The resurrection of Jesus was unexpected, and beyond human explanation and understanding, and in violation of all-natural laws. But it was true.

An Ascension Gift Basket For You!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 22, 2023

Although the Bible doesn’t call it a “gift basket” it does use the word “gifts” in connection with our Savior’s ascension into heaven. Because of Jesus' ascension we receive many gifts. In Luke's account of the ascension we notice three.

We call them “gift baskets.” They might be for holidays like Christmas or Easter. Or they may be given for someone’s birthday, or perhaps an anniversary. Now as you think of gift baskets what makes them different from other gifts? Although perhaps you can think of many more things that make ...read more

Lessons From Olivet

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

The Mount of Olives was important to Jesus. It is a place of praise, a place of rest, a place of communion, a place of surrender, a place of blessing, and a place of retreat – things important to both Christ and believers today.

I’ve entitled our message today “Lessons from Olivet,” and I wish to begin by reading Luke 22:39, which is our focal verse. This verse says, “Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.” This morning, I feel led to preach a message about ...read more

Just What Does "taken Up" Mean For Jesus?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 20, 2022

When I was ten, that meant that Jesus went up into the clouds and literally sat at the right hand of the Father, on a throne in the clouds. But no more.

Ascension Day One commonality that men and women my age have in the U.S., no matter what religion we were raised in, is the story of Jesus.

Sharing Jesus' Mission

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 2, 2024

Being involved in the mission and the ministry of Jesus should be exciting for us. We shouldn't think of it as a chore, something that burdens us.
