Meaningless
This series we’ll see Solomon expose the vanity of looking for meaning in life in all the wrong places—the same places we so often look: in pleasure, in family, in money, in accomplishments, in vitality, in knowledge itself. He will deconstruct them one by one, until only ONE meaning remains.

Sunday Morning Bible Study
Lesson 1 @ 8:30am
Our synod’s 175th anniversary theme is “Christ Through Us.” That can only be understood properly if we first establish the concept of “Christ For Us” (Christus pro nobis in Latin). Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection were not for his own benefit but specifically for humanity’s salvation. He lived a perfect life, fulfilling God’s law on behalf of sinners, and his death was a substitutionary atonement for our sins. The phrase “for us” underscores the idea that salvation is entirely a gift, granted by God through Christ’s actions, and is not earned by human effort or merit.
“Christ For Us” is central to the Bible’s explanation of justification, where believers are declared righteous before God solely on the basis of Christ’s work, received through faith. Christ’s vicarious suffering and resurrection assure Christians that God’s wrath against sin has been fully satisfied, and through Christ, we are reconciled to God.

Lesson 5A: Bible Skeptics Talking to Christians

Our study begins by looking at God’s plan and purpose for our lives. This will establish a Biblical foundation for how to seek to understand the issues raised by those of different worldviews and will grow our motivation to reach out with compassion to those separated from Christ. (Reading “Quick to Listen” provides background but is not required for the course.)

Did you know that WELS began mission work in the land down under in 2024? Like the USA, Australia’s majority language is English and religion is Christian, but an amazing 40% of Australians claim no religion at all! This mission helps bring Jesus to the lost!

Mission Support
100 Missions in 10 Years
A WELS Home Missions initiative to plant 100 new home mission churches and enhance 75 existing ministries from 2023-2033.
No community is the same. No core group is the same. No soul is the same. But we know that all people have the same need for a Savior from sin. Those differences mean that no home mission church starts the same way or follows the same path to maturity. However, we pray that all WELS home mission churches contribute in their own unique way to the ultimate outcome: winning souls for Jesus through the proclamation of the gospel.

World Mission
UKRAINIAN LUTHERAN CHURCH
WELS Christian Aid and Relief is joining with thousands of WELS members and millions of other Christians around the world in praying for the people of Ukraine during this terrifying and uncertain time. The best and safest way to help at this time is to give a gift to the Ukrainian Fund through WELS World Missions. These funds will be used to provide immediate assistance to members of our sister church in Ukraine and others in need.

Recent Worship Services
Ascension Lutheran Church is located in Plymouth, Minnesota and is affiliated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). Each week our Bible readings, songs, prayers, and message revolve around a central theme to increase our insight and appreciation of another small slice of the Christian life. Join us as we follow Jesus!
