Patrick Schreiner on Why Churches Should Add Ascension Sunday to their Calendars

by Patrick Schreiner May 11, 2021

We asked Patrick Schreiner, associate professor of New Testament and biblical studies at Midwestern Seminary, “Why should churches add Ascension Sunday to their church calendar?”

How does God's Word impact our prayers?

God invites His children to talk with Him, yet our prayers often become repetitive and stale. How do we have a real conversation with God? How do we come to know Him so that we may pray for His will as our own?

In the Bible, God speaks to us as His children and gives us words for prayer—to praise Him, confess our sins, and request His help in our lives.

We’re giving away a free eBook copy of Praying the Bible, where Donald S. Whitney offers practical insight to help Christians talk to God with the words of Scripture.
