Christ Calls Sinners

In a world that often demands perfection before acceptance, the message of the Gospel stands in stark contrast: Christ doesn’t call the righteous; he calls the broken, the wandering, and the lost.


In this four-part series running through June, we explore the transformative journey of grace. We will see how His call is not merely a ticket to comfort, but an invitation to a life of active mercy, meaningful participation, radical perseverance, and wholehearted devotion.

FAQs

  • What are these messages about?

    The messages at Ascension begin with a part of the Bible and explain and apply that content to our lives. Though the Bible is a big book, all of God’s testimony to people centers on the person and work of his Son, Jesus Christ. Ascension’s messages reflect this Christ-centered focus.

  • Why’s the pastor in a robe?

    That’s a great question! There are a few reasons the pastor will commonly wear a robe, but the primary purpose is to mask the man and focus the listeners on God. There are many churches today where the pastor does not use a robe - that’s totally fine, and sometimes Pastor Ben just prefers a suit too. 😊

  • I don’t have time to watch YouTube - do you have a podcast instead?

    We sure do! Ascension on Air is our church’s official podcast. You can stream it on most major platforms, including its home on Spotify.
