Ascension

This Sunday, Pastor Jared preached from the story of Acts 1:1-11, about Jesus’ Ascension and what it means for us as the church. Below are some questions to reflect on as you listen!

How do you think the disciples felt when Jesus told them that the restoration of the kingdom of Israel was, essentially, “none of your business”? Do you find yourself struggling with this idea or wanting to worry about the restoration or success of certain entities that are smaller than the Kingdom of God?

Pastor Jared says that we are the one who give evidence that the Kingdom of God exists. What do you think it looks like in your life to live as evidence of the Kingdom of God in the world?

What do you think the power of the Holy Spirit means in your life? What would it mean for this church? For your community? Take a moment and dream about what things might change in your life if you chose to live as if the Kingdom has already come. Dream big!

Now, take some time to pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you in how to live your life in the truth of the inbreaking Kingdom of God this week.
