Thought for the Week
O God, Holy One, our altar, our cloud: In the resurrection of your Son you have brought us into your temple. Accept the sacrifices we offer, and draw us into the fire of Your Spirit; through Christ our Lord. Amen. Alleluia.
United Methodist Book of Worship
Instrumental Selections
Sermon Title: No Distant Throne
Scripture Lessons: Psalm 47, Ephesians 1:15-23, St. Luke 24:44-53
Summary:Jesus' ascension is human nature's exaltation. He returns to his native heaven with the human face of God. Following him, day by day, is the way of sainthood. Why does this world need saints? To make Christ seeable, everyday and everywhere, and renew continually "the passion for the possible." Christ in majesty is master of the impossible. Hope abounds!
