In Mark 6, Jesus returns to His hometown—and the people are amazed, but not in faith. Instead, they question Him, reject Him, and are offended. Meanwhile, His disciples respond in faith, stepping into mission with boldness and trust. This message explores the contrast between unbelief and faith, and how our response to Jesus determines what He does in and through us. Whether you're full of questio...

Welcome to the Ascend Bible Church Podcast! This week is a special episode as Planter Chris Weisheim is joining us as he will be preaching at Ascend this Sunday!

Today, we dive into a passage that challenges us to consider what it means to be part of God’s family. As Jesus' ministry grows, so do the crowds—and the accusations against Him. From being called crazy by His own family to being accused of working for Satan, Jesus faces opposition at every turn. But His response reveals a deeper truth: He has come not to work with the enemy, but to defeat him, re...

The Sabbath was given as a day to remember God's work in creation, His covenant with His people, and His provision. But more than that, the Sabbath ultimately points us to Jesus, our true Sabbath rest. Jesus invites us: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) In Christ, the Sabbath is no longer an obligation but an invitation to rest in Him. The l...

What does it mean to truly "seize the day"? In Mark 1, Jesus shows us a different way—one that starts not with action, but with prayer. Before anything else, He retreats to spend time with the Father. In this passage, we see: 1. Jesus’ dependence on the Father (Mark 1:35-37) 2. His mission to preach the gospel (Mark 1:38-39) 3. His deep compassion for the outcast (Mark 1:40-42) 4. The powerful exc...
