It’s sad, really—no one pays much attention to Ascension Day. If you had to write down the top three reasons for why Ascension Day matters, what would you put? I don’t think we know much about the ascension.

When Jesus says unless we eat His flesh and drink His blood, is He talking about Communion? Are Christians cannibal vampires? Also, do we worship Jesus, or what He gives us? The crowd was only interested in Jesus for what He could give them. They wanted bread, they didn’t want a Lord.
So, why did John end his Gospel this way?
With a cool little story about the disciples going fishing, Jesus making them breakfast and having an awkward conversation with Peter. Why? What does he want us to do with this information? How does this wrap up the story? Is it like the scene after the credits in a Marvel movie? Like when the Avengers save the world and then they’re just sitting around a little restaurant in New York eating shawarma?
John 10:7-15 We are sheep, we act like goats and make life hard.
1 Corinthians 15:2–8 What does it mean to believe? What do we have to believe in to be saved?
1 John 1 “That God is light and there is no darkness in Him at all.” Even if the world seems like a broken, painful nightmare. Frank tackles some of the hard questions about Christianity.
As long as we have hope, we can endure pretty much anything. This is a reconciliation of the four Gospel resurrection accounts.
Opening monologue and message from the Service of Shadows.

John 4:43-54 What is faith? Does God still heal? If so, why doesn't He heal me?
What you don't know about Jesus could ruin your life. Gospel of John John 2:13–25. Jesus gets a whip and makes the Temple holy.

Mark 1:1–15 Get to know Jesus by walking with Him through the Gospels.
Love is the mission of the church. It is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.
Listening To The Spirit
Acts 16:6-10.
John 17 — The prayer of Jesus filled with mysterious goodness. The purpose of the mission of the church is to glorify God. Jesus prayed that the church would be unified. It's the work that Jesus has done in each Christian's life—the indwelling of Christ—that gives the church's mission its power.
