Sermon for Sunday June 1st, 2025

Message for Ascension Sunday – June 1, 2025

We continue our post-Easter trip through the book of Acts, called ‘Raising Up,’ where we look at some of the ways the Resurrection of Jesus raises people up. This week turn back to the story of Jesus’ ascension in Acts 1:1-11 and consider how the Resurrection invites us into a new a different future. This can be exciting, but also a challenge as we so often would prefer God to turn the clock back to the best days from the past.

This message also connects with the 150th Anniversary of the Presbyterian Church in Canada that is now being celebrated as the General Assembly meets here in the city of Hamilton. https://presbyterian.ca/150-years-of-…
