Christians all around the world are celebrating the day of Pentecost—the birthday of the church—this weekend, having remembered the ascension of Christ last week. But do you really understand the true meaning and importance of these events?

On this week’s edition of "Encounter God’s Truth," Dr. John Whitcomb concludes his message called “The Ascension of Christ.” It opens Volume One of a brand new, long-term series called “Acts: Witness of the Early Church.” We present it with thanks to Middletown Bible Church in Middletown, Connecticut, where Dr. Whitcomb first delivered it before the Independent Fundamental Bible Conference. In today’s lesson, our speaker will trace the significance of Jesus’ ascension through both the Old and New Testaments. In fact, you may be surprised to learn how prominent this subject is all throughout the Bible. God’s Word is true from the beginning to the end! With host Wayne Shepherd, we pray that it will make a dynamic impact upon your life today.
