In this enlightening episode of Sermon Brainwave, hosts Karoline Lewis, Matt Skinner, and Rolf Jacobson delve into the theological significance of the Ascension of Our Lord, which falls on May 29, 2025. The conversation explores why this often-overlooked feast day is crucial for understanding Jesus' ongoing authority and presence in the world today. The hosts discuss how the Ascension serves as the pivotal bridge between Luke and Acts, connecting Jesus' earthly ministry to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and its importance for Trinitarian theology. Drawing from the lectionary texts (Acts 1:1-11, Psalm 47, Ephesians 1:15-23, and Luke 24:44-53), the hosts unpack how the Ascension of Our Lord is not merely about Jesus' location but about his authority and power. They explore the connection between Christ's ascension and the church's mission, explaining that Jesus' enthronement isn't about distant rule but about his continued embodied presence and activity through the Spirit. This episode offers valuable insights for preachers and teachers seeking to communicate the relevance and importance of the Ascension in contemporary Christian faith. * * * Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected with more insightful lectionary discussions!

This week, we continue our missions series as guest speaker Pastor Keith challenges us to break out of a “Christian ghetto” mindset and embrace the global mission God has given us. Drawing from Acts 1:6–8 and Revelation 7:9, he reminds us that the abundant life Jesus promises is not about material gain, but about living with purpose—making disciples, spreading the gospel, and seeking first God's kingdom.
Acts 1:1-8 How the Holy Spirit Gives us Strength
Gary Bassham
Listen along as we continue our series through Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 2:1-41 Revelation 7:9-10 "We formerly rejoiced in uncleanness of life, but now love only chastity; before we used the magic arts, but now dedicate ourselves to the true and unbegotten God; before we loved money and possessions more than anything, but now we share what we have and to everyone who is in need; before we hated one another and killed one another and would not eat with those of another race, but now since the manifestation of Christ, we have come to a common life and pray for our enemies and try to win over those who hate us without just cause.” Justin Martyr Is our evangelism a joyful proclamation of what God has done for us or a frantic “workaholic” search for as many scalps for our evangelical belt as we can find? Biblical evangelizing is a twofold commission: to preach and to pray, to talk to people about God and to talk to God about people.” Harvey Conn 2 Cor 5:17-21

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 1 The book of Acts is Luke's second letter to Theophilus and picks up exactly where his Gospel ended. Jesus instructs the apostles to go to Jerusalem and wait for the Holy Spirit to fall upon them. They are told that the power of the Holy Spirit will help them be witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and even the remotest parts of the earth. Following this, they witness Jesus ascend into the clouds. Two men appear to them and state that Jesus will one day return from heaven. The apostles then go to Jerusalem, gather in a room with 120 people, and address the need to replace Judas. They put forward two men, Barsabbas and Matthias. They draw lots, and it falls to Matthias, who is added to the eleven apostles. Jesus promises the apostles the baptism of the Holy Spirit during His ministry. The Spirit would guide these men into all truth and give them supernatural power as they bear witness concerning Jesus. It is important to note that the apostles are men who had seen Jesus alive and alive again. They are also chosen directly by God. This is the exact criteria for Matthias becoming an apostle. There are no such men alive today. Instead of expecting a baptism of the Holy Spirit upon us, we must give heavy credibility to the things these men taught and did in this “book of Acts.” The Spirit was a gift to them to teach us about Christ and His church. Great Father, we believe that Your Son has ascended into heaven and will return, descending from the clouds. Thank You for giving us wisdom from the Holy Spirit to guide us in faith so we can be prepared to meet Him. We understand that the Spirit's power was promised to the apostles, as they are special witnesses from the days of Jesus. Help us to be attentive to their teachings and to see Your hand in their ministry. From Judas's betrayal to Matthias's addition, nothing happens outside of the scope of Your power and sight. We praise Your glorious name. Thought Questions: - Luke documents that the apostles were with Jesus after His resurrection. How does that give them special credibility to teach you? - The Old Testament foretold about Judas's betrayal. How would knowing this be comforting or even beneficial for Jesus' disciples? - What were the requirements to be an apostle? Does anyone meet that criterion today? How should you view and respect the apostles?

20 Proverbs 14; Genesis 37-41; 19 Psalms 32-35; 43 John 21; 44 Acts 1-3
Acts 1:1-8 New King James Version 1 The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, 3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. 4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” 6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
