Are We There Yet?
from Hearts Open to the Word · host Rev. Dr. Charissa Clark Howe
The scripture passage for May 17, 2026 (Ascension Sunday) is Acts 1:6–14. The modern church often makes the exact same mistake as the disciples—paralyzed by anxiety, staring up at the empty sky, or fixating on the past because the unknown is terrifying. However, the Ascension is not an abandonment, but a mandate to mobilize. We are challenged to stop looking in the rearview mirror, let go of our need for perfect blueprints, and step boldly into our neighborhoods equipped with the power of the Holy Spirit. For the full worship service, you can subscribe to the Sixth Presbyterian Church YouTube channel.
