Sermons About Ascension
The Ascension of Jesus Christ
Acts 1:9-11 Our text today is an historical account of the Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the most detailed account, the Ascension of Christ. The Ascension of Jesus Christ means that we now have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. We have a Mediator in Heaven, a great High Priest, who is touched with the feelings of our infirmities and One who is willing and able to minister on our behalf. As the old hymn puts it Lifted up was He to die, It is finished, was His cry, Now in Heaven exalted high, Hallelujah! What a Saviour. Hallelujah! What a Saviour Philip P. Bliss

Above and Below (Ephesians 1:15-23)
Christ ascended and is above all, at the right hand of God, and yet remains connected to us by the Holy Spirit. Below, the church makes up the body of Christ on earth.

MultiCongregational Service: The Ascension and Exaltation of Jesus
We believe by the revelation of God’s Word through the Holy Spirit that God in the person of Jesus descended, He was crucified, He has risen, ascended, was exalted, and will descend again. We talk about His first descension often or what is referred to as the first advent of Jesus, and which we should. It is what is called the incarnation, where God took on human flesh. Without this you have no opportunity to have a personal relationship with God. As John 1 says, In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and all things came into being through Him…the Word became flesh. It even has its own holiday – Christmas. We talk a lot about the crucifixion of Jesus often, as well as the resurrection of Jesus, which we should. This is how sin, death, Satan, and demons have been conquered. Without this there is no salvation. This is even celebrated with specific days called Good Friday and Easter, which we celebrated the week before last. We talk and refer to Jesus descending again, referring to His second coming. We do not talk about this as often as we should, but we do talk about it. But we rarely talk about the ascension and exaltation of Jesus. This is very important to us, for the church is found on the death, resurrection and ascension of its exalted head, Jesus, which sits at the right hand of the Father. So, I want to briefly spend some time on that this morning and then my great friend Jee-Young will come give some application to this.

The Baby Born to Be King
Jesus is the long-expected Son of David, but he didn't meet their expectations. He overcomes through weakness, not power, and now has all authority.

Last Words (Mark 16:9-20)
Jesus commands his disciples, and by extension his church, to preach the gospel to all nations, making and baptizing disciples. We preach the gospel, not to be intolerant or disrespectful, but out of love for others and because our Lord and Savior has commanded us to do so. He promises to pour out his Holy Spirit on us to empower us to preach the gospel and to care for one another. And in his ascension, he proves that he has completed everything necessary to satisfy God's justice, secure our acceptance before God, and provide for our every need. We belong to him!
