We continue our Going Public series in the book of Acts by looking at one of the most important — and most overlooked — events in history: the ascension of Jesus.

Forty days after the resurrection, Jesus left earth and returned to heaven. At first glance, that might seem like the wrong move. Why leave when momentum is building? But the ascension wasn’t an exit — it was a coronation.

In this message from Acts 1, we explore why the ascension changes everything:

• Jesus reigns as King over all.
• He serves as our advocate and high priest.
• He is preparing our forever home.
• He has given us His Holy Spirit.
• And He will return.

Because Jesus ascended, we are not alone. Because He reigns, we have hope. And because He is coming back, we have a mission: to be His witnesses.

If you’ve ever wondered what Jesus is doing right now — or what that means for your life today — this message is for you.
