The Ascension Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 8, 2021

Lessons From Olivet

Contributed by D. Dewaine 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.

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

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.
