The ascension of Jesus is his enthronement as the cosmic king. The two implications of this are 1) Jesus gives his church the mission and the power to be his kingdom people doing his kingdom work and 2) Jesus—crucified, risen and ascended—will return therefore we must be prepared.

Join with Jesus on his road. Share with Jesus in his mission. Even when it costs. Even when our best excuses are not good enough.

Pentecost is the coming of the Holy Spirit upon those who believe in the Trinitarian act in which the completed work of salvation is applied and the presence of God comes to bear upon the believer and upon the church.
