THEME: New Season, New Opportunities
SCRIPTURE: Luke 24:50-52 & Acts 1:1-14

Jesus hangs out for about 40 days after His resurrection, giving many proofs that He has indeed physically risen from the dead, as well as being seen by over 500 people before He gathers all of His disciples at the Mount of Olives to witness His ascension into heaven. This is a major transition in the life of humanity, specifically in the lives of the disciples. What do we do with times of transition? How did the disciples deal with the shift from walking with Jesus every day for 3 years, to watching His death, witnessing His resurrection, spending about 40 days with Him, then to watch as Jesus physically leaves and no longer physically walks with them into the new kingdom age? How, then, can we view major transitions in our own lives and the state of the ever changing world around us?
