Ascension is often overshadowed by Easter and Pentecost, but it is still important nonetheless. Ascension marks the pivotal moment Christ took his seat in glory to rule over all things. This fact gives us hope, reminding us that our Savior lives and reigns for us even now. We at ALS wish you a blessed Ascension Day as you find comfort in the promise of his Christ’s ongoing presence and certain return.
In both the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed, it says, [Christ] ascended into heaven.” This is an important part of the salvation story and is relevant to our lives as well! ALS welcomes you to worship with us as we observe and meditate on the Ascension of Christ. The service will take place on May 14th at 8:00pm HKT (7:00PM Chiang Mai time) at our Chiang Mai campus and will also be livestream through our youtube channel.

As you rest from your labour this Labour Day, take a moment to thank God for the gift of work and the gift of rest. Both of these were part of God’s plan for creation even before the fall into sin. We ask that God would continue to draw our eyes to him and his love for us this day as we remember the Apostle Paul’s encouragement, “Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:58)

Today is Good Friday. The day that the church observes the redemptive work that Christ did with his death on the cross for all humans of all time. We mourn the fact that the Son of God needed to die to save us from our sins, so that we could be reconciled with him, but we rejoice that he did and we look forward to celebrating the resurrection hope we have on Easter. “He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 ...
《Christ, the Book of Life》- Eternal Election Proclaimed in the Gospel Scripture directs us not to the hidden will of God, but to Christ, the Book of Life. In this seminar we will see how the Bible’s doctrine of eternal election is an important part of the gospel and how it gives comfort and certainty to believers.
