Is Christ really present with His Church — or has He withdrawn to heaven until His return?

This Ascension Sunday sermon tackles one of the most misunderstood doctrines in the Christian life. Using the powerful image of a "green room," Pastor unpacks Ephesians 1:22–23 to show that Christ's Ascension is not His departure from the Church — it is His enthronement for the Church.

In this Lutheran sermon you will discover:

  • Why the "green room" view of Christ is dangerous and unbiblical
  • How Christ actively rules His Church through Word and Sacrament right now
  • What Galatians 2:20 reveals about the presence of the ascended Christ
  • Why the Ascension is the greatest comfort for every struggling congregation

Perfect for: Lutheran theology, Ascension Sunday, LCMS preaching, Reformed theology discussions, and anyone asking "Where is Christ in my suffering?"
