In this powerful Memorial Day message, Pastor Matt Ayars takes us into Revelation 1:12–20 to explore the often-overlooked but absolutely essential doctrine of Christ’s Ascension.
Many Christians focus on the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus—but what about the Ascension? Why does it matter that Jesus rose not just from the grave, but also into glory?
In this episode, Pastor Matt unpacks the vision of the glorified Christ walking among the lampstands—the churches—and explains what it means that Jesus now reigns at the right hand of the Father. You’ll hear about:
Why the Ascension is essential to salvation
How the Ascension makes the presence of Christ universally accessible
The role of Jesus as intercessor, judge, and king
What the lampstands, robe, sash, and sword imagery really tell us
The difference between Holy Spirit conviction and the enemy’s condemnation
This episode will challenge and encourage you to see the Ascension not as an add-on, but as a cornerstone of Christian hope and worship.
