Church of the Ascension episodes:

May 13, 2024 Walk the Path
Every day, every moment of our lives we have a choice to follow the path of the happy or that of the wicked. To choose the path of the happy is not to choose self-fulfillment or prosperity or wealth—we will not be happy simply by getting what we want. To be one of those who are “happy” only happens when we choose to connect to the source of life…when we choose God.

May 07, 2024 Cornelius of Caesarea
Peter’s love for Cornelius can only be mimicked by us when we love the other—one who is different from us in race, socio-economic condition, position, influence, whatever the criteria might be. When we can see the other, not through our differences but in how we are the same, we can discover how to love them.

April 29, 2024 Planting Season
To bear fruit is to act in love, which is always a communal act and to live as a branch is to live in a community shaped by love. In order for us to take our place in this
relationship we must find our own seedpods and withering flowers that must be removed so that our energy might flow into those efforts and more importantly
into the people that we are being called to serve and that we are being called to love. Let us find comfort in this season of pruning and deadheading as a time when beauty and love are revealed in the channeling of our energy toward one another.

April 23, 2024 Good Shepherd Sunday
When we stop objectifying God and focus on God as the subject of our lives, we discover that our relationship
with God and one another deepens—not just with family and friends, but with stranger, with those who are the other, who understand the world in vastly different ways than we do. We stop seeing God as a good shepherd and start experiencing life in the flock in which our shepherd is willing to lay down his life for us.

April 15, 2024 What Really is Our Fear?
We can take comfort in knowing that Jesus is with us and that when two or three are gathered in His name, He
will be in the midst of them. We help each other to seek and to see Jesus by helping each other to be Jesus in the world. Fear never has the last word because fear is born out of isolation and when we invite our Lord into the middle of our messy lives, we are simply acknowledging what has always been and what we should always know and that is that God is always with us.

March 30, 2024 Good Friday
On Good Friday God, clears out our hearts and minds and begins the task of renewing and reestablishing his
relationship with man. God knows that we too like those old houses need a little bit of love. God has humbled himself and taken on flesh in Jesus and will now establish that new relationship with man. A relationship grounded in
love and grace that no one can break and that is forever life-giving.

March 29, 2024 Maundy Thursday
We tell the story of salvation and freedom and promise, and just as the story of the Passover begins with bitter herbs, our story of the Passion begins in that same bitter place. The ugliness of captivity is not simply the story of the oppressor and the oppressed, it is the story that lays claim upon our own hearts when we are imprisoned by fear and anger and suffering. It is the story of what Judas would do.

March 25, 2024 Palm Sunday
We are all the beloved creations of God made in his image. In our Baptismal Covenant we commit to serving Christ in all others. That is an unqualified statement making no distinction between anyone. We are stronger together and meant to be one body loving God and each other.
