What if Jesus’ ascension wasn’t about leaving… but about leading?

This Sunday at Solid Ground, Pastor Mike will remind us that when Jesus ascended, He didn’t vanish — He took His throne. And that changes everything for you! Because the One who reigns from heaven is still working through you on earth — in your home, at your job, in your conversations, and in your quiet prayers.

The Ascension isn’t the end of the story… it’s the moment heaven’s power got released into everyday life. If you’ve ever felt like God was distant… or wondered where Jesus went after the Resurrection… this message will open your eyes to what He’s doing right now — through ordinary people who carry His presence into ordinary places.

What will Jesus find in your hands when He returns? In Luke 19:11–27, the Parable of the Minas calls every follower of Jesus to faithfully invest what we’ve been given. No one is empty-handed. No mina is too small.

In this message, we will unpack:
-Why Jesus told this parable right before His crucifixion
-What the minas represent in your life today
-The difference between faith-filled obedience and fearful inaction
-What real accountability looks like when the King returns

Come be refreshed, inspired, and surrounded by the beauty of women gathering to listen for heaven’s voice. You’ll leave uplifted, reminded that God still speaks, listens, and cares.

  • Life groups are gearing up again

    New Podcast Debuts on October 16

    Groundwork is a conversation-driven video podcast that explores the intersection of faith and real life. Each episode takes biblical truth beyond Sunday sermons, applying it to everyday relationships, struggles, and decisions.

    Through authentic dialogue with pastors, counselors, authors, and everyday believers, Groundwork uncovers practical wisdom for navigating modern challenges—whether it’s family dynamics, cultural pressures, personal struggles, or questions of faith. The tone is warm, engaging, and down-to-earth, often weaving in humor, storytelling, and honest reflections that make spiritual insights accessible and relatable.

    The series makes it debut on YouTube on October 16. Dr. Vance Nichols, head of our own Alta Loma Christian School will be our guest, talking about ways to understand and connect with the youth of today, starting with our own kids.
