Synopsis

In this sermon, Brent brings together graduation weekend, Mother's Day, and the Ascension with some help from cicadas, the Northern Lights, and our Local Kids. You'll learn:

The meaning of the Ascension and how it enables Jesus to be present with us always, no matter where we are.
How to recognize Jesus's presence in our lives through the little moments and interactions we experience each day.
The importance of remembering Jesus's constant love and presence during life's transitions, challenges, and threshold moments.
How the Ascension empowers us to be witnesses of Jesus's love, justice, and the Jubilee reality in our world.

This message will help listeners:

Find comfort and strength in knowing that Jesus is always with them, even in times of fear, loneliness, or pain.
Develop a greater awareness of Jesus's presence in their daily lives and learn to lean on His love as an anchor in a rapidly changing world.
Feel inspired to share Jesus's love and justice with others and make a positive impact in their communities.
