Reason for God | How can Christianity be true with all the denominations?

This week at The Ascent we talk about denominations and discuss how can Christianity be true when there are so many denominations with different values, theology, and traditions.

Do Hard Things | Sacrifice

We live under the new covenant, which means that we do not need to give sacrifices to repent from our sins or gain salvation. However, all throughout Scripture, God calls us to live a life of sacrifice as we turn away from the things of this world and live a life fully surrendered to Jesus.

Do Hard Things | Confession

Confession is uncomfortable, and because of that, we often avoid it, downplay it, or justify our way around it. But when we bring our hidden struggles into the light and speak them out loud, the enemy loses his grip on our hearts. Confession isn’t just about guilt; it’s about freedom. This week, we’re diving into what it means to confess and repent to God, as well as one another, and how that honesty leads to healing, wholeness, and deep spiritual growth.

Every Thought Captive | Anxiety

We all wrestle with unwanted thoughts, whether it's anxiety, anger, jealousy, or lust. In this series, we’ll explore how to take those thoughts captive and bring them under the authority of Christ, using biblical wisdom and practical tools to renew our minds and walk the freedom Christ offers.

Every Thought Captive | Comparison

Our minds shape the course of our lives, but strongholds of lies and negative patterns can keep us stuck. In this sermon, we explore comparison, and how we can break free from the stronghold of jealousy, envy, and bitterness that threaten to harm us.
