Sermon Introduction –
Sermon Introduction: In our gospel reading, Jesus says goodbye to his disciples as he ascends into heaven. Do you ever find it difficult to say farewell? Where might we find joy and hope in those moments?
Introduction to this week’s readings
In today’s readings the risen Christ ascends into heaven and his followers are assured that the Spirit will empower them to be witnesses throughout the earth. The disciples were told to not gaze up into heaven to look for Jesus (Acts 1:11); we find his presence among us as we proclaim the word and share the Easter feast. We too long for the Spirit to enliven our faith and invigorate our mission.
