Post-Resurrection

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Apr 8, 2021

The moral of that story: It’s your job to share the gospel. And don’t let anyone temper your zeal. Jesus is alive. Everyone needs to know that.

"D.L. Moody made a deal with God that he would witness for Christ to at least one person each day. One night, about ten o- clock, he realized that he had not yet witnessed; so he went out in to the street and spoke to a man standing by a lamppost, asking him, "Are you a Christian?" ...read more

"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 Ascension Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 8, 2021

Jesus stayed on the earth for forty days after His resurrection. Now, forty days is a long time. If Jesus rose on March 27, this would place His ascension from earth on May 5 (Cinco de Mayo).

Evangelize On Purpose Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

Reflections On Ascension Day

Contributed by Ivy Drafor Amenyah on May 13, 2021

Ascension is an important even after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We need to understand it, study the dynamics and experience the blessings of the day.

We celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in grand style. When it comes to Ascension and Pentecost, we seem to be slow on it. These events are at the heart of our Christian faith.

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

Our Mission From The Ascension Series

Contributed by Charles Mallory on May 18, 2023

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

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

Baptism

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Aug 16, 2023
