Ascension Resources
This page features various resources related to the ascension and present ministry of Christ. This is a neglected event, doctrine, and festival of the Christian Year. Rediscovering all of the riches of the ascension has been a passion of mine for over a decade. It is my hope that this page will offer sermons, articles, songs, books and other resources to stir your imagination and help develop an "Ascended-Christ" consciousness among believers and within the Church.
