Ascension and Unity

On Sunday 21 May 2023 Rev Dr Robert Gribben, a former General Secretary of the Victorian Council of Churches, preached at Highfield Road Uniting Church on 'Ascension and Unity'.   
His sermon commented on Isaiah’s ringing denunciation of false worship, the Ascension narrative in Acts and the Gospel as found in John 17: 1 – 11. Dr Gribben noted that the Gospel was a plea from Jesus’ lips that his future disciples should be one in a unity which is modelled on that between God the Father and God the Son, promised and fulfilled by the Holy Spirit. Not just a
unity enjoying some friendly fellowship or borrowing a bit of each other’s liturgy or spirituality.
