Summary
The Ascension arrives quietly. No trumpets, no fiery chariots, just a cloud, a question, and a commission. In this sermon on Acts 1, David McGaw sits with the disciples' last conversation with Jesus: Is it now? Are you finally bringing the kingdom back? The answer comes not as correction but as handoff. The kingdom is coming, but it's coming through you. Plural. All of you. Together. Drawing on N.T. Wright, the Apostle Peter, and a famously misattributed line from St. Francis of Assisi, David reframes witness as something more honest than a street-corner pitch and more costly than a Christian T-shirt. It is the overflow of a life abiding in Christ. It's your particular life, with all its credibility and all its scars that is offered as testimony to the rightful King of the world. For anyone wondering what the Ascension has to do with Monday morning in Silicon Valley: this is the bridge. A sermon from Holy Trinity Silicon Valley. Palo Alto, California. Anglican · ACNA · C4SO.
