In this message, we explore a part of the gospel story that’s often overlooked but changes everything: the moment Jesus ascended into heaven. As pastor Aaron Lentz shares, this wasn’t His exit from the world, but His coronation as King of kings, taking His seat at the right hand of the Father. From that place of authority, He reigns over all creation and draws even closer to His people through the Holy Spirit.

We live in a tension we call the “already but not yet.” The victory has been won, but the final chapter is still to come. One day, the same Jesus who ascended will return to make all things new, to wipe away every tear, and to set the world right. Until then, we’re not just waiting. We’re witnesses, living now in the reality of His kingdom, letting our lives echo the prayer: Your kingdom come, Your will be done.

At the heart of it all is this hope you can hold onto: our King is on the throne, He is with us, and His reign will never end.
