ASCEND Church Perth

Special guest Ps Matt Garner brings a powerful word from the story of Ruth and Jesus' words from John 15. We will reproduce according to whatever is inside of us.

In Isaiah 7 and 9, the prophet reveals that the son born of a virgin and given by God to the world as their King would have the name Prince of Peace. He would establish a Kingdom that would be marked by ever-increasing "shalom." Matthew reveals this King to be Jesus, and Paul later reveals that Jesus Himself is our peace. When Jesus comes into our lives he brings peace with God, peace within, peac...

Jesus is our Wonderful Counsellor, and in close relationship with Him, we have access to supernatural wisdom and understanding.

This is the first of our three-part Christmas series called  God With Us.  In this message, Ps Jason shares the meaning of the name Immanuel and the implications of the incarnation for all of humanity.    

Isaiah 43 18  “Forget the former things;      do not dwell on the past. 19  See, I am doing a new thing!      Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness      and streams in the wasteland.

As we prepare to transition to becoming ASCEND Church, here are four Biblical values that when lived out, destroy four enemies in the life of every believer.

In this message, Ps Jason shares the story of how God has led us into a new identity as a church, then shares seven theological distinctives that flow out of the ascension of Jesus.

In this message, Ps Ian Weaver explores what God's word says about repentance and how this response of the heart brings power to overcome sin.

As we come into a time of year where occult activity increases, it's important that as Christians our eyes are opened to the spirit realm.

David became the king of Israel because God was looking for "a man after God's own heart." But over time, his sensitivity to the Lord's presence diminished and he committed a very damaging public sin that brought great pain into his family and to his legacy. In this message, Ps Jason talks about the consequences of our sin, and the amazing truth that God is willing to redeem even our greatest fail...

The gospel not only saves us, but begins to transform us from the inside out. This process of growing in character is fundamental to Jesus' work of building His Church. In 1 Peter 2:1, Peter says to "put off" or get rid of, five toxic traits. As we learn to love one another deeply, we are "being built up as a spiritual house."

God has divinely placed each of us in church family so that we can find discipleship relationships that will help us to grow spiritually and mature in our faith. In healthy discipleship relationships, we find opportunities for both vulnerability and accountability. 

James asks, "What is causing the quarrels and fights among you?" Then he breaks down both the external and the internal enemies of building strong and healthy relationships. Here's a hint: dealing with your unresolved anger will go a long way. But where does our anger come from?

In Luke 18, Jesus tells a story that highlights two different ways of approaching God - one in self-righteousness and the other in true righteousness. What does it mean to be righteous? 

If we walk in the Spirit, we will not fulfil the desires of the flesh (Galatians 5). In this message we explore how to overcome the desires of the human nature and cultivate an awareness of God's abiding presence in our daily lives.

Every follower of Christ should be growing in a passion to reach the nations with the gospel. John's vision in Revelation 5 tells us why.

In our culture today, we're seeing a strong and focused demonic attack against Biblical masculinity and femininity, and subsequently, the understanding of the roles of a husband and wife in a healthy family. Research has shown that society begins to unravel when fathers are weak or absent. One of the ways that we must live counter-culturally as Kingdom men in this world is to embrace the high call...

This is Part 2 of our two-part series on the Disciplines of Devotion. In this message, we hear from Ps Denice Weaver on what a strong prayer life looks like.

This is Part 1 of a two-part series called Disciplines of Devotion. In this message, we explore the call of every Christian to spend time daily meditating upon God's word.

The greatest evidence that we truly believe the Bible is our sense of urgency to share Christ with the world. If we are not sharing the gospel with people as frequently or as boldly as we hope to, then we should seek to understand the lies that we are believing, and work to replace those lies with the truth.

Once when Jesus was questioned about why he spent so much time with "sinful" people, he responded by telling three stories - one about a lost sheep, another about a lost coin, and a third about a lost son. His answer in these stories was that when you lose something you deeply care about, nothing is more important than finding what was lost. The Lord of the Harvest wants to give every believer His...

While Jesus often ministered to crowds of people, he always had time for "the one." 

Learning to be thankful amidst the difficulties we face in our world is the key to unlocking the supernaturally energized mind that God has called us to have.

This is the final message in a five-part series called, Purifying the Heart. In 1 Corinthians 10:10, Paul says that we must not "grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer." There are many examples of grumbling in the Old Testament, but the example Paul is specifically referring to is Korah's rebellion. Our relationship with Jesus begins when we surrender to His Lordship. We...
