Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor In Chapter 7, Paul leads us to understand how the law helps in our sanctification. In Jesus, the jurisdiction of the law over us has been broken.

February 18, 2024 20:54 - 41 minutes - 39.3 MBIdentity leads activity: not the other way around Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor We spend a lot of time trying to earn or prove what is already true of us. This becomes a life that tries to white knuckle change the sinful habits in our life so we can feel better about who we are. But Jesus has laid out a better path to allow our identity of what is true to lead the activity of what we do. Don't miss this life altering reality!

January 07, 2024 21:58 - 47 minutes - 45.1 MBThe Mission Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor We are a church that believes every follower of Jesus is a disciple and every disciple is a disciple maker. Jesus gave the Disciples (and us) a clear mission to go and make disciples of all nations. And that starts in our Church. Today we define for ourselves what a disciple is and look at Jesus’ challenges to mature His disciples. We want all the exciting things coming from our Church to be rooted in the relationships that grow disciple...

December 31, 2023 15:20 - 50 minutes - 47.6 MBGod's Heart for World Missions Dan Bushy, Associate Pastor & Missionary Our God is a missionary God. The Bible is God's account of how He has been rescuing in the past, now, and into the future. We will look at God's all-people missionary purposes beginning in the Old Testament right through the New Testament.

December 17th, 2023 - The Shepherd’s Love
December 17, 2023 21:11 - 42 minutes - 38.5 MBThe Shepherd’s Love Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Love is an overused word in our culture. It's so much more than a sentiment, word, or emotion. Love is central to the story of God and at the heart of the Gospel and the mission of Jesus. Today we look at Jesus' birth and discover that Love is a demonstration of extravagant sacrifice. Jesus is the definition and greatest demonstration of love given to humanity. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church reso...

November 12, 2023 15:37 - 42 minutes - 40.3 MBNot- “Not My Problem” Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Paul has backed us into a corner to face the truth of who we are. Paul is used to the typical response at this point. He knew we would start to shift blame and skirt responsibility. Today Paul addresses the common arguments that come from those trying to deny the gospel of Jesus. His point is not to shame us but to help us get to the point of giving up and recognizing our need of a savior. Click on the links below for...
November 5th, 2023 - Failing Law School
November 05, 2023 21:07 - 41 minutes - 39.6 MBFailing Law School Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor After building an airtight case against our sinfulness Paul anticipates a few arguments we are all prone to. Paul had just made his point that our hearts are sinful and a just God has to hold us accountable. But are we really "that bad." We often feel that goodness is a sliding scale on which we believe ourselves to be good enough. Today Paul takes us to Law School and shows us that our relativism, perfectionism, and sincerity all...

Today we hear Paul’s words as he calls out our desire to be in control and have life our way. Every one of us has the tendency to make ourselves the center of our world and build life the way we want it. Can we face this surrender all of our lives to God’s good design?

October 15th, 2023 - Our Hearts are Broken
October 18, 2023 16:11 - 45 minutes - 43 MBOur Hearts are Broken Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor The wrath of God is upon us because of our sinful hearts! Not an exciting message… but something we need to hear. We can not know the good news without understanding the bad news. We can not respond to amazing grace if we don’t see how broken and undeserving we are. This passage is often used to point out other peoples sin. But what we find today is that Paul uses this example to raise all of our understanding of each of our de...

October 01, 2023 19:40 - 46 minutes - 44 MBThe Gospel Calls us to Be ALL IN Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor When we read Romans through the filter of our personal salvation story we miss the point of the letter. The Gospel we find in the letter of Romans is bigger, deeper, and more powerful than just a brief outline of salvation. As Paul writes this letter he unfolds the truth that the Gospel is a timeless encounter between the God of the universe and sinful humanity that can’t help but pull the reader into the story of th...

September 17, 2023 19:36 - 41 minutes - 39.7 MBTo Live or Stand Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor We often turn to anger when we are offended. Whether we like to admit it or not, this anger shuts life down and closes doors of opportunity. Today, we see the life that Jesus lived is in contrast to this angry response. Throughout the Bible we are called to be unoffendable and at peace in tense situations. We find that this lifestyle is more productive in leading people to life and helping us be a light in a dark world. Click...

September 10, 2023 19:43 - 43 minutes - 41.3 MBBE ANGRY... but don't be Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor We live in a world and culture that finds offense around every corner. There is always something to be offended by, angry about, or passionately debating with all our enemies and friends. But is that the way Jesus leads us to live? Today we deconstruct the thought that we are commanded to live in righteous anger. At closer inspection we find Paul calling us to live the unoffendable life Jesus molded for us. Can we lay down t...

When we learn to dwell in God’s presence we begin to live the the life we were made for.

August 07, 2023 16:14 - 41 minutes - 38.1 MBMichael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Is your mind fixed on trusting God for who He is? We often allow the majority of our mental space to be taken up with other voices, issues, and obsessions that lead us to distress. In Psalm 34 we find a path to walk in the goodness of who God is and allow that to lead every thought. Thoughts are powerful and lead most of our actions and interactions. What would happen if our dwelling led to more peace in His presence?
