Psalm 68:32-35 / Common English Bible
Sing praises to my Lord. Selah
33 Sing to the one who rides through heaven,
the most ancient heaven.
Look! God sends forth his voice,
his mighty voice.
34 Recognize how strong God is!
His majesty extends over Israel;
his strength is in the clouds.
35 You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries—
the God of Israel who gives strength and power to his people!
Bless God!

Acts 1:8-11 / Common English Bible
9 After Jesus said these things, as they were watching, he was lifted up and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 While he was going away and as they were staring toward heaven, suddenly two men in white robes stood next to them. 11 They said, “Galileans, why are you standing here, looking toward heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way that you saw him go into heaven.”
Hello Kingdom Family,
Welcome to our Jesus-centered community. We are glad you are listening to today’s message. “We are People Helping People Experience a Jesus-centered Life.”
Today we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit, Pentecost Sunday, and Ascension Sunday. We unpack Psalm 68:32-35 and Acts 1:8-11. Why are Christians so reluctant to change, yet they change everything else about their lives? We will attempt to unravel the mystery. What is the true purpose of discipleship, and has it changed? Should it change?
