Podcasts about ascension sunday

In this sermon we celebrate the ascension of Jesus. We consider that the ascension has to do with Christ's lordship over all things and that because he returns to the Father we have know we are in good hands. This, with a little help from C.S. Lewis's The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and a story about a train attendant at the London Euston railway station who once saved the day.

Opening Song: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus (https://open.spotify.com/track/0ZMOWXDlnlkMGTn4H0u24u?si=c6ef9617f0c8491c) by Dwan Hill, Helen H. Lemmel, Lauren Daigle, and Paul Mabury Lyrics: Turn your eyes upon Jesus Look full in His wonderful face And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace O soul are you weary and troubled No light in the darkness you see There's light for a look at the Savior And life more abundant and free Through death into life everlasting He passed and we follow Him there Over us sin no more hath dominion For more than conquerors we are His word shall not fail you He promised Believe Him and all will be well Then go to a world that is dying His perfect salvation to tell Oh turn your Oh turn your Oh turn your eyes upon Jesus Passage: 15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers and sisters ​— ​the number of people who were together was about a hundred twenty ​— ​and said, 16 “Brothers and sisters, it was necessary that the Scripture be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David foretold about Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17 For he was one of our number and shared in this ministry.” 18 Now this man acquired a field with his unrighteous wages. He fell headfirst, his body burst open and his intestines spilled out. 19 This became known to all the residents of Jerusalem, so that in their own language that field is called 'Hakeldama' (that is, “Field of Blood”). 20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms: Let his dwelling become desolate; let no one live in it; and Let someone else take his position. 21 “Therefore, from among the men who have accompanied us during the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us ​— ​22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day he was taken up from us ​— ​from among these, it is necessary that one become a witness with us of his resurrection.” 23 So they proposed two: Joseph, called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed, “You, Lord, know everyone's hearts; show which of these two you have chosen 25 to take the place in this apostolic ministry that Judas left to go where he belongs.” 26 Then they cast lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias and he was added to the eleven apostles. -- Acts 1:15-26 (CSB) Musical Reflection: “Breathe on Me, Breath of God” by Robert Jackson Reflection Notes: TRENTHAM is a tune by Robert Jackson, an English composer during the nineteenth century. It fits perfectly with the text for “Breath On Me, Breath of God,” by Edwin Hatch; each phrase is allotted ample space for reflection. Prayer: Father, what we know not, teach us; what we have not, give us; what we are not, make us; for the sake of your Son our Savior. Amen. -Old Anglican Prayer

Opening Song: “Kingdom of God” (https://open.spotify.com/track/2jneHgyd1uUIfk7eVhqmDK?si=a120ed3f201844b4) by Jon Guerra Lyrics: Kingdom of God Oh that I could see your face How I'm longing for the day Brighter sun of holy grace Make my heart a holy place Blessed are the poor who have nothing to own Blessed are the mourners who are crying alone Blessed are the guilty who have nowhere to go For their hearts have a road to the kingdom of God And their souls are the songs of the kingdom of God And they will find a refuge for theirs in the kingdom of God Beauty shining from your face Always longed to see this place Is there somewhere I can stay? Even just a couple days? Blessed are the poor who have nothing to own Blessed are the mourners who are crying alone Blessed are the guilty who have nowhere to go For their hearts have a road to the kingdom of God And their souls are the songs of the kingdom of God And they will find a refuge for theirs in the kingdom of God The Lord is our shepherd, we shall not want In valley or pasture, we shall not want Our cup runneth over and over For now and forever For now and forever Passage: Jesus spoke these things, looked up to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you gave him authority over all people, so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him. 3 This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and the one you have sent ​— ​Jesus Christ. 4 I have glorified you on the earth by completing the work you gave me to do. 5 Now, Father, glorify me in your presence with that glory I had with you before the world existed. 6 “I have revealed your name to the people you gave me from the world. They were yours, you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me is from you, 8 because I have given them the words you gave me. They have received them and have known for certain that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me. 9 “I pray for them. I am not praying for the world but for those you have given me, because they are yours. 10 Everything I have is yours, and everything you have is mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your name that you have given me, so that they may be one as we are one. -- John 17:1-11 (CSB) Musical Reflection: I Need Thee Every Hour (NEED) by Robert Lowry Reflection Notes: Each stanza of this familiar hymn was written by Annie Hawks as part of a poem. When she showed the composition to her pastor, Robert Lowry, he added the refrain and set the text to music for their congregation to enjoy. The musical lines always tend upward before falling back down, an apt parallel to the textual pleas reaching up to God. Prayer: O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

Ascension Sunday Ephesians 1:15-23 Psalm 47 Luke 24:44-53

Opening Song: Come, Lord Jesus (https://open.spotify.com/track/1P6V1z8UegyquVHW5LOBa3?si=9e0171fa637247f0) by Dustin Kensrue Lyrics: Come Lord Jesus come Come Lord Jesus come Come Lord Jesus come Come Lord Jesus come Come again to claim Your own Come to reap what You have sown All creation weeps and groans for You It's to You that we belong It's to You we lift our song How our spirits look and long for You Like a thief in dead of night Come our everlasting light Let Your brilliance shame the brightest day With Your voice like endless seas Wielding swords and stars and keys Bring the nations to their knees we pray For though fitful is our flame You're from age to age the same Jesus faithful is Your name and true So until the sun does rise Till Your trumpets rend the skies Help us keep our restless eyes on You Passage: 6 Jesus Christ ​— ​he is the one who came by water and blood, not by water only, but by water and by blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood ​— ​and these three are in agreement. 9 If we accept human testimony, God's testimony is greater, because it is God's testimony that he has given about his Son. 10 The one who believes in the Son of God has this testimony within himself. The one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony God has given about his Son. 11 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 The one who has the Son has life. The one who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 This is the confidence we have before him: If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears whatever we ask, we know that we have what we have asked of him. -- 1 John 5:6-15 (CSB) Musical Reflection: Prelude in C Major, BWV 846 by J.S. Bach Reflection Notes: Bach's well-known prelude spins out a series of modulations, almost imperceptible at first. The new harmonies continually unfold in a way that intrigues but never shocks.

The Rev. Juan Carlos Huertas says Ascension Sunday moved us from the long narrative of Jesus' life, which culminated with his death and resurrection, and now lands us at this moment--and as Jesus ascends to the heavens, we like the disciples are left wondering--what now?

The Ascension of our Lord is not an act of abandonment, but of commission. In John's Gospel, we are told that only after Christ's Ascension can we receive His promised Holy Spirit, Who empowers us to live out the calling he gave us. "Just as the Father sent me," Jesus says, "so I am sending you." May we ever seek to find Him present among us in Spirit, until the day we will see Him face to face. Readings: Acts 1:15-17,21-26; Psalm 68:1-20; 1 John 5:9-13; John 17:6-19

The message is God loves us. The good news is that God loves you completely. The bad news, he loves everyone else completely too. But it is not really bad news. Of course, it is good news all around. The challenge then is, where we are called to be the church in the world where we are called to share this love where we are called to witness this love in the world, where are we called to do it to every corner of the earth. (Read more…)Here is my homily from Ascension Sunday. Please feel free to share with others.This Sunday was also Mother's Day. I wish a Happy Day filled with many blessings to all those mothers and mother figures in our lives!

Jesus ascended into heaven. What does it mean? It means that Jesus, right now, is reigning as King. It means that Jesus has sent His Spirit. And it means that Jesus' kingdom has begun and will fully come on this earth physically in the future. This message was preached by Pastor Erick Cobb on May 12, 2024.

This is Ascension Sunday and Senior Sunday, and Ken finds some similarity between the two. Graduating high school closes a chapter, but it's not an end - it's the beginning of something else. When Jesus returned from the dead, the disciples thought he would restore Israel, but instead, he's suddenly gone, like David Blaine. The disciples are left stranded, sure that this is suddenly the end. But they're wrong. There's something they're not expecting on the horizon. Acts 1:1-13 fmhouston.com

ASCENSION SUNDAY (audio reflection only)John 17: 11-19Fr. Ron

In our message last Lord's Day, we defined what we mean by the word discipline. Our subject this week is “discipline as genuine love,” and so it is important to begin with a definition of love. What does it mean to love God, and what does it mean to love our neighbor? These are the two great commandments, and so we should know what they summon us to.To love someone is to treat someone lawfully from the heart. To love God is to do what He calls us to do, and to do it from the heart. Nowhere does Scripture identify love with our emotional “feels,” that approach being an error that is currently destroying millions. At the same time, we are called to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Dt. 6:4-9; Mark 12:30), and this would certainly include our “feels.” But this simply means that our emotions must be obedient, along with the rest of our being. But obeying commands is not the same thing as issuing commands. So loving God means doing what He says to do, from the heart. “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15). And His commandments include bringing up our children in the nurture and admonition, applying physical correction when necessary, and providing loving instruction all the time. 

Wait. Rest. Bless. Repeat. What if Ascension Sunday was about more than Jesus leaving to be with God? What if the disciples just needed a break ... a time to rest ... a time to make space for the coming of the Holy Spirit? Imagine how exhausted the disciples must have been, physically and emotionally following what we call Holy Week. Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith for a conversation about the importance of rest so that we might have the capacity to receive the Holy Spirit who is to be our companion on this journey of discipleship.

May 12, 2024. Ascension Sunday homily by Fr. Matt Lowry about how Jesus' power with us can help us persevere through all things. Jesus is with us in our suffering and desires to raise us to share in His divinity in heaven.

Join us this Ascension Sunday as Pastor Johann provides us a refresher on what our mission should be…right here, right now. Often, it is easy to get lost in the details of day-to-day activities and forget our purpose. We ask the wrong questions, emphasize the wrong things, and don't move on with the mission He has assigned us. Christ is everywhere he is here and now, calling us to be witnesses. Are you ready to tend His flock? If not now, when?

In this sermon, based on Acts 1:1-11, Pastor Scott explores the story of the Ascension and the "what next" aspect for the disciples. This is based on Senior Recognition for our Graduates. Note that one of the Graduates is Pastor Scott's daughter, and he gets a touch emotional at the end of the sermon. This is the text for Sunday May 12th, Ascension Sunday and the 7th Sunday of Easter.

Fr. Steve takes a deep dive into the beauty and meaning of why the Ascension is so importnat to us as Children of God.  

Pastor Taylor Shippy - Acts 1:3-9; Hebrews 4:14-16 For many of us, when we retell the story of Jesus, we're really good at talking about when He was born. We're eager to share about the Cross. And we're pretty good at talking about the resurrection. But we almost never talk about the Ascension, and perhaps that's why we forget and forfeit what our risen Lord is doing right now out of love for us…  Among many things the risen Lord is doing is interceding and mediating as our Great High Priest in the heavenly places. On this Ascension Sunday, let's remember, celebrate, and proclaim what Jesus is doing right now out of love for us!
