  • Prepare with Repentance
    2024/12/17

    Christmas comes soon; what are you doing to get ready?

    If you celebrate Christmas, even from a secular perspective, your preparations likely involve gifts and parties and food and decorations. It's fun at first, but easily becomes something that wears us out.

    Preparation is important for Christmas from a Christian perspective, too - but it doesn't involve any of the traditional Christmasy activities. In this episode of Ascension on Air, as we continue our series A Real Christmas, we listen to a man whose job it was to prepare the people in his time, to get them ready, for Jesus - through repentance.


    Bible Reference: Luke 3:1-6

Christmas can mean a lot of different things to different people, and it's easy to get swept up in the parties and gifts and everything else around us; but what makes for a real Christmas? That's what this series will explore, starting with this first episode that's all about Jesus' coming and why that matters.

  • Steward the Truth as Identity in Christ
    2024/07/30

    Our fourth and final episode of our series Beautiful Truth. Everything we've talked about to in the previous three episodes - God's truth as truly good, the truth of our shared humanity, and truth as freedom from deception - leads up to this discussion about true identity found in Jesus Christ.

    Bible Reference: Philippians 3:4-11

  • Steward the Truth as Freedom from Deception
    2024/06/24

    We all like to believe we're free - free to make our own choices, free to follow our own desires. But what if you were actually ruled by your desires?

    In John 8:31-36, Jesus Christ reveals the true nature of what human beings call liberty - and it's not pretty. But thankfully there's a greater truth than this - and it has the power to set people, to set you, free.

  • Beautiful Truth: Steward the Truth as Shared Humanity
    2024/06/18

    As we continue the series Beautiful Truth, we're diving into the disconnect we perceive with the past and how that affects our view of what it means to be human. This then forms the context for us to consider what Scripture reveals - that we all share a common humanity with a common problem, and the awesome truth that God's Son has shared in our humanity to solve that problem. Our primary Bible reference is Hebrews 2:14-18.
