Today we welcome Rev. Austin Britton as he preaches on the meaning and power of Christ’s ascension. Far from being an absence, the ascension is Jesus’ strategic advance for the growth of God’s kingdom. By ascending, Christ sends the Holy Spirit, expands His presence to all believers, and equips the church to fulfill its mission. Rev. Britton highlights how Jesus’ ascension empowers us to do greater works, assures us of His intercession, and prepares our eternal home—revealing the immense benefits this pivotal moment brings to every Christian.
