When is the last time you heard a strong, inspiring sermon on the ascension of Christ? Ross Hastings has noticed how churches, Protestant churches in particular, neglect the doctrine of the ascension in their preaching and teaching. Why is that? It is central to the New Testament story and the continuing story of the gospel.

Dr. Hastings joins David Capes on The Stone Chapel Podcast to talk about his book, The Glory of the Ascension: Celebrating a Doctrine for the Life of the Church.

You'd be surprised how many teachings and Christian practices tie into this neglected doctrine.

Here is a transcript for today's podcast episode.
