After King Jesus’ ascended to the Father, he gave his Spirit to indwell his people and empower them to fulfil the mission of taking the gospel to the ends of the earth.
The Resurrected King
The Resurrection of Jesus is the moment that death was conquered and resurrection life was made possible for all who trust in him. The resurrection of Jesus is the single most important event in human history because it is the moment that hope for our world dawned!
