The Ascension Of Christ
Luke 24:44-53
Todd Cyphers

I. Jesus promises the Holy Spirit

Acts 1:1-14 Page #1087

Exodus 33:7-16 Page #93

II. Jesus speaks words of life

I do not know what to say

Blessing others wasn’t modeled in my home

I am afraid it will puff him up

I am glad God gave you to me

You are important to me

You are worth it

I believe in you

I see you growing in….

I love you more than….. (all the pencils…)

I see God…..

Psalm 67:1-2 - God be gracious to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us That Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations.

Robert Rayburn - “No worshippers should ever be sent out in their own strength or without the assurance of God’s blessing and enablement”…”

III. Jesus is now interceding

Hebrews 7:25 -Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

Worship - knowing, enjoying and proclaiming the worth of God.

Joy - A deep pleasure in God and His Resources that comes from the Holy Spirit.

Unity - Walking together for the purpose of Glorifying God and fulfilling the Great Commission.

Philippians 1:27 - “Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.”
