First Cary UMC's First Sanctuary Sermon "The End is the Beginning” – Rev. Ben Alexander – June 1, 2025
Scripture: Acts 1:6-11
When Jesus ascends, it looks like the end—but it’s actually the start of something far greater. The disciples are left staring at the sky, waiting and wondering what’s next. Jesus gives them a massive mission: to carry the Good News to the ends of the earth. But Jesus doesn’t send them empty-handed. Before they go, they must wait—to be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. While it feels like the end, it is just the beginning of Becoming the Body.
