The Father Heart of God | Jason Staggers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This Father’s Day we open Luke 15 and look again at the parable of the lost son where we find that the leading role belongs to the father. Jesus tells this story because the Pharisees grumbled that He received sinners and ate with them. One son takes the inheritance and squanders it in reckless living; the other never leaves the property, keeps the rules, and still will not come into the party. Both treat the father as a means to an end. So who is actually lost, and what is the Father’s heart to
Working Hard in the Grace of God | Jason Staggers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After four weeks through Ascend Church’s core values, this week we look at how giving Jesus, the Gospel, the Church, and the Kingdom first place actually changes the way we live. Paul says, “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,” then immediately, “for it is God who works in you.” So which is it? Our work or God’s work? In this message, Ps Jason carefully unpacks Philippians 2, showing that God finishes what He starts through our costly effort, not by fear of losing salvation but
Living with Kingdom Purpose: Trading Apathy for Greater Peace (Kingdom over Apathy) | Jason Staggers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we conclude our four-week journey through our core values by unpacking “Kingdom over Apathy.” Jesus repeatedly commands us not to be anxious, yet the solution He gives is unexpected. Anxiety, He shows, is not primarily a problem to manage but a symptom of misplaced priorities. It amounts to apathy toward the very purpose for which we exist. In this message, Ps Jason carefully walks through Matthew 6:25–34, linking our anxiety to spiritual apathy and sharing how we can not only get set
Christ's Call Into Visible Community (Church over Isolation) | Jason Staggers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we continue our four-week journey through Ascend Church’s core values, unpacking “Church over Isolation.” John tells us that love for our Christian brothers and sisters is the proof we have passed from death to life. Yet many believers still treat the church as optional, keep relationships carefully managed and horizontal, or completely withdraw because of past hurts. Is the true church only an invisible reality, or does Jesus also call us into a visible, committed local body? In this
Finding Our Identity in Christ's Finished Work (Gospel Over Performance) | Jason Staggers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week we continue our four-week journey through Ascend Church’s core values unpacking “Gospel over Performance.” Using the same Abraham story in last week's message from Genesis 15 and 22, this week we dig into one of the most important (and most misunderstood) truths in the Christian life: justification. Paul says we are “justified by faith apart from works.” James says a person is “justified by works and not by faith alone.” Are they contradicting each other? In this message, Ps Jason care
