We trace the golden thread from Psalm 110 to Pentecost to show why Jesus’ ascension means he reigns now. We unpack what “right hand of God” signals for power, hope, and how we live while every enemy moves toward defeat.

• Psalm 110 as the map for Christ’s enthronement
• Right hand as authority, honor, and finished work
• Jesus confronting the Pharisees with David’s Lord
• Peter’s claim: made both Lord and Christ
• Enemies as footstool: already and not yet
• 1 Corinthians 15 and the last enemy, death
• Ancient victory imagery and public submission
• Courage for believers under pressure
• Bow willingly now rather than later

A cloud didn’t end the story—it expanded it. We dive into Acts 1:6–11 to explore why the ascension is not Jesus’ exit, but the moment His earthly ministry gives way to His heavenly reign and the church’s global mission. If you’ve ever wondered why He had to go, or how the Spirit changes ordinary people into bold witnesses, this conversation brings clarity and courage.

We start with the disciples’ honest question about restoring Israel and uncover how Jesus redirects their focus from timelines to power. The ascension becomes the necessary pivot for Pentecost, where the Spirit empowers the witness that spreads from Jerusalem to Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth. Along the way, we unpack how the ascension confirms the Father’s acceptance of the Son’s perfect work, why intercession matters for your prayer life, and how Ephesians 2 repositions our identity with Christ in the heavenly places.

We also sit with the angels’ words: stop staring and start serving. Readiness for Christ’s return is not a countdown; it’s a calling. Expectation turns into action—repentance today, courage today, love today—because the same Jesus who ascended will come again. If you need a fresh vision for mission, a deeper confidence in prayer, or a reason to raise your eyes without leaving the ground, this one is for you.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ represents the ultimate victory—over sin, life, death, and eternity—establishing the foundation of our faith and transforming how we approach God's promises.

• The gospel in its simplest form: Christ died for our sins and rose again
• God's pattern throughout Scripture: making promises before fulfilling them
• Jesus repeatedly prophesied His resurrection (Matthew 16:21, 17:22-23, 20:17-19)
• The empty tomb confirms Jesus' words, not just provides physical evidence
• The disciples initially struggled to believe despite clear predictions
• Jesus connected His resurrection to all Scripture (Luke 24:27)
• Our faith stands on God's spoken word, not just what we can see
• If Christ hasn't been raised, our faith is futile (1 Corinthians 15:17)
• The resurrection declares Jesus as Son of God with power (Romans 1:4)
• Believing God's word transforms our lives and empowers our witness

Join us for our next episode as we explore the resurrection we will experience when Christ returns.
