God is not the God of “the way it was,” but the God of something new.Change is hard, but God can bring renewal through it.Jesus’ ascension was not abandonment. It was a sending.We are called to carry hope into everyday life.Witnessing to faith is often simple and relational. Walk with people.The resurrection proves that endings are not final with God.The church is called to be a people of hope, renewal, and new beginnings.
