And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.”
Luke 9:23–24
1 Corinthians 16:13 “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”
Called to the Cross, Not the Couch
Please join us for our 4th annual Stand Firm men's conference at Ascend Church.
Jesus’ call to discipleship is not a promise of comfort, security, or early retirement—it is a summons to daily self-denial and lifelong faithfulness. In a culture shaped by the American Dream, men are subtly taught to work hard now so they can coast later, to measure success by ease, accumulation, and escape from responsibility. But Christ calls His followers to a very different vision: not a life aimed at comfort, but a life poured out in obedience.
Please join us as men gathering together in humility, for our 4th annual Stand Firm Conference, all for the sake of Christ as we seek to stand firm in Him!
