Ascension Day: Our Assurance of Heaven

Pastor Nate Widener • June 2, 2025

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,

I hope this note finds you well and still reflecting on our recent Ascension Day service.


In the sermon this past weekend, we explored the profound significance of Christ's ascension into heaven. We discussed how this event provides us with tangible proof of heaven's existence and Jesus' divine nature. The ascension not only affirms Christ's promises, but also offers us hope and peace in our daily lives, knowing that we too will one day join Him in paradise.


As you go through your week, think about Christ's ascension as a powerful demonstration of His divinity and the reality of heaven, giving us assurance in our faith. This knowledge of our future in heaven should transform how we approach life's challenges, allowing us to face difficulties with peace and hope as Christians. Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit as our Helper, ensuring we are never alone in our spiritual journey.


So together in Christ, let's carry the joy and peace of this knowledge with us. May it strengthen us in times of trouble and remind us of the glorious future that awaits us in Christ.


In His love and service,

Pastor Nate
