    We all have a story.. We all have good news to share… Now, let’s get out there and tell it. Tell it for the world to hear.

    Tell Your Story Acts 1:6-14 Some years ago, a commuter on the Long Island Railroad was known to every regular patron on the five o'clock local. He was a well-dressed, soft-spoken young man. Every evening after the train left the subway he would rise and go to the front of the ...read more

    Core 52 Week 38 - Jesus Ascends Into The Heavens Series

     | 1,512 views

    We talk a lot about the resurrection but often skip over the ascension (when Jesus rose into the heavens). It's an important part of our doctrine and deserves some attention!

    Face Cloth Neatly Folded

     | 3,987 views

    The neat folding of the face cloth gives further evidence to me that Jesus calmly and deliberately unwrapped Himself of His grave clothes and walked out of the tomb.

    I would like to see a show of hands, who makes their bed every day? I figured there would be someone who does it. You are the kind of person who should really appreciate what Jesus did in the tomb after His resurrection. I know this isn’t Easter Sunday, but I wanted to share with you something I ...read more

    The Road To Emmaus

    What did the two men on the road to Emmaus think about the resurrection? They had the opportunity to meet the risen Christ. Is it not interesting that Luke has two unknown men meet the risen Christ first?

    The Road to Emmaus Luke 24:13-35 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Luke 24:13 And behold, atwo of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was 1about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place. 15 While they ...read more

    Sent Into The World

    Contributed by Bruce Lee on May 28, 2025
     | 95 views

    40 days after the resurrection is the ascension. But as Jesus is ascending into heaven he is sending those left behind out into the world to make disciples and to transform the world. To discover unexpected joy in serving and giving.

    Sent Into the World 13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My ...read more

    Every Christian is called to share their faith, and this explores how we can be active in sharing our faith by forgiving others.

    Today we celebrate Ascension Day, the day when Jesus physically left earth and ascended into heaven. Ascension Day officially is celebrated 40 days after Easter Sunday which was Thursday. For many Ascension Day ranks up there with Christmas, Easter and Pentecost. And it is something that is ...read more

    What The Ascension Of Jesus Meant To Him, And To Means To Us

    Contributed by David Mcnally on May 20, 2014
     | 5,985 views

    Many Christians seem to ignore the Ascension, and even seem embarrassed to talk about Jesus physically going up into the clouds, but it is a historical fact. Jesus had done everything His Father required of Him, and He is now by His side working for us.

    Acts 1:6-11 Eph 1:18-23 The Ascension 29 MAY 2014 The New Testament records how Jesus died on what we now call Good Friday and how He rose from the dead on what we now call Easter Sunday. I prefer to call it Resurrection Sunday, 1. because the word Easter is not in the Bible, and 2. because ...read more

    Jesus goes to a very familiar place in His Ministry in order to be launched back to His Heavenly Home, reminding us of the importance of His Ascension.

    “Jesus: Lifted Up!” Luke 24:50-53, Mark 16:19-20, Acts 1:1-11 Were you ever at an outdoor gathering speaking with a group of friends, when one of them suddenly began to lift off of the ground and slowly ascend into the sky until they disappeared into the skies? I’m not ...read more

    A sermon for the period between Ascension Day and Pentecost

    In many ways the period between the Ascension Day and Pentecost is a period of waiting for the church. I liken it to being in the third trimester of the pregnancy out of which the church is birthed. The first trimester is the period between the birth of Jesus and his death. The period during ...read more
