December 31 2006 – Audio Sermon on Acts 1:9 by Pastor William Hixson

Jesus is taken up before their eyes and a cloud hides him from sight The ascension marks the transition to the church’s mission under Christ’s lordship. The event signals both departure and presence—Christ’s physical absence ushers in the Spirit’s presence—and calls the church to carry forward his mission with confidence in his sovereign rule

Some good hymns for Acts 1:9 are All Hail the Power of Jesus Name by Edward Perronet, How Great Thou Art by Stuart K Hine and Crown Him With Many Crowns by Matthew Bridges and Godfrey Thring
