The Ascended King: Why Jesus’ Ascension Still Changes Everything

The ascension of Jesus is often overlooked, yet Acts 1:1–11 shows it is central to the Christian life. After presenting Himself alive “by many proofs” and teaching about the kingdom, Jesus was lifted into heaven to rule, send His Spirit, empower witnesses, and intercede for His people. This message explores what He is doing now and why His ascension is essential for our hope and mission. (Includes lines such as “he was lifted up and the cloud took him out of their sight” and “you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you.”)
