Happy Ascension Day

ascension by rembrandtToday is the church feast day of the Ascension.

It in, we remember the end of the Lord Jesus’ work on Earth in the 1st century and His triumphant return to Heaven as the King of Glory foretold in Psalm 24. Though this celebration has suffered some neglect over the years, there are a number of people who are trying to bring awareness of this feast back to the church, despite there being no cultural celebration to go along with it such as Christmas and Easter.

Here is a link to a great sermon on the Ascension.

Here is the link to my webpage for the podcast episode which I did on the Ascension.

Happy Ascension Day 2014!!!
