Sermon
Pastor Cody Harlow · Streamed 1 month ago
What did the ascension of Jesus actually accomplish and why does it matter for your life today?
In this sermon from Acts 1:9–11, we see that the ascension is not the absence of Christ, but His enthronement. Jesus Christ has ascended to the right hand of the Father, where He now reigns with all authority and one day, He will return in glory!
But until that day comes, we are not called to stand still.
This message unpacks four powerful truths about the ascension:
• The Ascension is the Enthronement of the King
• The Ascension Reorients the Church
• The Ascension Guarantees Christ’s Return
• The King’s Return Fuels Our Mission
If you’ve ever felt passive, distracted, or uncertain about your role as a Christian, this passage calls you back to faithful, purposeful living. The King is reigning. The mission is clear. The return is certain.
So the question is: Why are you still standing still?
