Ascension Day
The Ascension of Jesus is just as miraculous as the Incarnation and Resurrection and necessary to God's overall plan of salvation.

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.

Ascended Lord (PM)
David preaches Acts 1:1-11. Jesus Christ, the resurrected Lord, returned to Heaven bodily. His ascension has major ramifications, including His greatness to be worshiped and His return to be expected.

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!

Exalted Above All
Ascension--it means to rise or move upward. When Jesus ascended to heaven, he wasn't abandoning us to go to some far off place. He returned to the powerful presence of God and is with us even still, nearest in our hearts.
