Ascension

The amazing thing that happened at the Ascension was, Jesus returned to heaven and entrusted His mission on earth into our hands. By giving us the Holy Spirit, each of us are equipped to share Jesus into our particular network.

1. Why is the ascension a pivotal moment in history? Discuss. (Luke 9:51)

2. Knowing that we are uniquely gifted and placed for God’s activity, how do you identify where God is at work in your network?

3. The disciples were described as unschooled and ordinary men, and these were who Jesus entrusted with reaching the world. We are qualified to be His disciples. Where are you being “good news”?

4. Jesus does not leave us alone to minister, but promises us the gifting and power of the Holy Spirit to guide, empower and equip us. Discuss.

5. What does the equipping power of the Holy Spirit look like for you personally?

Respond

To be good news to people we need to be in relationship with people who need to know Jesus. This will look very different each time it happens. Pray and ask God to show you where He is already at work in your network and where you can join Him.
