Jesus has given us faith to believe, he has shown us unconditional, incomparable love and he has taken the cup for us so we are asking for his help to watch and pray.

Jesus is clear, forgiveness, salvation from sin and our future with God is not dependent on the strength of your commitment to Jesus, it's his commitment to you.

Jesus wants to use the outlandish, overconfident, impulsive, brazen man, Peter. These traits, Jesus would by the power of the Holy Spirit refine in Peter and sanctify him to serve the Church.

Nothing we give up will come close to matching the glory of Jesus, but when we give what we have, from a heart of devotion he looks at our life and sees it as beautiful.

We are saved by faith and we live by faith - faith that is strengthened by knowing that God is real and he is Good.

We have an ocean of grace in Christ and long for others to take hold of those treasures. So we pray and we plead.

The primary purpose of the church is to glorify Jesus and we can do that most fruitfully by going and telling -it's why you're still breathing, because there is work to do and we've been commissioned to to do it.

The Ascension of Jesus opens the door for our free and fruitful worship. It enables us to live the life we've been created to live

Without the Ascension we are in big trouble. But praise God, Jesus did ascend and when He did, He left us with help from His Spirit and help from His church

The Ascension is good news for God's people today. As we lift our heads to where he is now, we are given confidence for today and bright hope for tomorrow.
