This week we ask the question that follows Easter morning: if Jesus is truly risen, where is he now and what is he doing. We walk through Acts 1 and Peter’s Pentecost sermon to see how the resurrection leads to the ascension, the sending of the Holy Spirit, and a king who reigns through gospel witness.
• Easter and the “now what” question after the resurrection
• Acts 1 and forty days of convincing proofs
• why the disciples struggle to imagine resurrection categories
• the kingdom of God as Jesus’ post-resurrection focus
• the command to wait in Jerusalem for the Father’s promise
• the Holy Spirit as power for witness rather than political takeover
• the ascension and the promise that Jesus will return
• Pentecost as the public outpouring of the Spirit
• Peter’s claim that death could not hold Jesus
• Psalm 16 as Scripture pointing to resurrection
• Psalm 110 and Jesus exalted at God’s right hand
• Christ reigning now and advancing his kingdom through the church
