About this episode

Pastor Will reflects on Ascension Sunday and the call to action for disciples.

This week, Pastor Will reflects on Ascension Sunday and the question the angels ask the disciples standing slack-jawed on a hillside: Why do you stand looking up toward heaven? It's a question that still finds us — waiting for Jesus to come back and finish what he started, when the commission has already been handed to us.
