Join us at 9:30am this Sunday for Christ-centered worship at Ascension Lutheran Church in Sarasota, Florida! We strive to be a Christ-centered, Biblically-sound WELS congregation that touches lives in our community with the Gospel through a family-friendly atmosphere and an attitude that binds us together in love.
Sunday mornings @ 9:30am EST
What Difference Does It Make?!
Life is full of either/or moments. Some of them are of little long-term consequence: Will I have the chicken or the fish?! Some of them matter much more: Will I accept the new job offer or keep my current job?!
One either/or moment is life-changing for every human being. Either Jesus is still dead, or Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus claimed He would rise from the dead. “The Son of Man must suffer many things... be killed and after three days rise again” (Mark 8:31). So if Jesus remains dead, He is both a failure and a fraud. If Christ has not been raised, we are still in our sin.
But Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! It makes all the difference! He lives! The season of Easter is a 50-day celebration of that fact.
