In this sermon, based on Luke 24:44-53, Pastor Scott explores the pain and sadness and anger following the tragic school shooting in Texas. He places this in tension with the story of Jesus' Ascension and the significant pause before the empowerment of the earliest church at Pentecost.

Note that this sermon was recorded live in worship at Pastor Scott's church, so the audio quality will sound different than normal.
