Resurrection South Austin

On this Follow Up episode we discusses the importance and significance of Christ's ascension in the Christian faith. Shawn, Melissa, and Courtney, explore how the ascension affects the everyday lives of believers. We discuss how Christ's ascension means that he is truly in charge, even though he is not physically present on Earth. We also talk about how the ascension gives Christians a mission to be Christ's witnesses and brings hope that all things will ultimately be redeemed. The conversation touches on the role of the Holy Spirit, the presence of Christ in the sacraments, and the Christian view of reality in light of the ascension.
