The Ascension And Return Of Christ
What does Acts 1:11 teach us in The Ascension and Return of Christ?
In this expository sermon on Acts 1:11, Dr. Toby Holt of New Geneva Theological Seminary teaches the doctrine of Christ's ascension and second coming: the risen Jesus was taken up in the cloud of God's glory to reign from His throne at the right hand of the Father, and the same Jesus will return in like manner. Holt shows that Christ's departure was necessary and coronation-like, that it secured the sending of the Holy Spirit and the global advance of Christ's kingdom, and that His ascension anticipates and guarantees the resurrection and reunion of His people.

1. What is the main issue in this passage? In this expository sermon on Acts 1:11, Dr.
2. How does this text point us to Christ? It shows the need for God's grace and the hope fulfilled in the gospel.
3. How should Christians respond? With faith, repentance, and renewed trust in the Lord's Word.
"It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." - Acts 1:7-8 (NKJV)
