May 7th, 2023 - Turning From Idols

May 07, 2023 19:41 - 50 minutes - 47.6 MB

Turning From Idols   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   The faith of the Thessalonians went viral in the first century.  Paul spent very little time establishing this Church.  However, the foundation was enough to cause this group of people to put their trust in Jesus and live radically different lives.  What was it about this Church that caused everyone across the Mediterranean world to know them?  How can we be inspired by this Church to turn from our idols and trust in Jesus alone? ...

To Whom It May Concern Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor As we wrap up our study on Acts, we will turn our attention to the letters that were written during this story.  Over the next several months, we will be looking at each letter to understand why we desperately need it.  Today, we look at Paul’s life and travels to understand the desperation it must have taken to write, deliver, and walk these letters into the communities that received them.  Do you understand who Paul was, who the com...

The Challenging, Beautiful, and Effective News   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   Many of us are like Thomas.  We need to see it before we believe it.  But what we find today is that our believing is often found in seeing the good news in someone else’s life.  Thomas was challenged by the resurrection of Jesus.  This challenge resulted in an unexplainable and beautiful peace.  This peace became the source of people seeing the good news through his life!  Do people see the resurrectio...

Have You Seen the Risen King?   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   Today is the day that we celebrate Jesus’ greatest miracle.  The day our tears and fears turn to joy and confidence.  The day that Mary and the Disciples saw the Risen King for themselves!  On this day Jesus demonstrated His grace and delivered them with the truth of who He is.  When we see the Risen King, He meets us in our tears and takes us from our fears!  Have you seen the Risen King?   Click on the links below...

Only the King Could Carry this Weight    Mitch Corea, Student Ministries Pastor   Have you ever owed a large debt? In this passage, we see the culmination of Jesus' work on earth and the fulfillment of several prophecies. "It is finished." Within this one statement is the climax of the Gospel story and the completion of a work began by God all the way back in Genesis. His work is finished. The debt for our sin has been paid in full.   Click on the links below for additional Casca...

Only the King Could Lay His Life Down   John Reynolds, Family Ministries Pastor   At just the right time, Jesus did what only He could do. He laid down His life for us. He told His disciples “my hour has come.” No one takes my life from Me; I lay it down freely.  He told Pilate “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given to you from above.”  Jesus made it clear… This is my demonstration to the world.  I lay my life down for you. What is our response to this d...

March 19th, 2023 - The LIFE of the Only King   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   Have you ever found something valuable that was in plain site for so long? Maybe you didn't realize it's worth until years of having it! As we read John 19 we find Pilate in a similar spot. As he examines the life of Jesus we have an opportunity to understand Jesus' life as fully man and fully God. How does this shape our understanding of His life and the impact it has on our hearts?

March 06, 2023 23:09 - 38 minutes - 36.7 MB

Following Judas, Peter, or Jesus Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   As we set our eyes towards Resurrection Sunday we move through a season of contemplation.  Who are we and who is our heart following?  Every time we read John 18 two disciples capture our attention.  How often do we consider how similar we are to Judas and Peter?  Jesus calls us to follow Him but we often find ourselves consumed with treasures, running ahead of Jesus, or hiding in the shadows.  If we want to see abundant...

Worth it All Pastor John Reynolds, Family Ministry Pastor   Today, we are going to hit pause on our John Series and step back into one of Jesus’ biggest questions He has for all of us. Am I worth your all?   In Matthew 13, Jesus shares two parables intended to help us understand that the Kingdom of Heaven is worth our all. It is the greatest treasure we could ever find.   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources. Connect Card: https://cascadechurch.org...

An Invitation to New Life Pastor Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   As we step back into John, we take steps with Jesus through His final days, His death, and most importantly His resurrection.  John 12:23-28 frames these final steps beautifully for us.  Each of these steps provide a contemplative opportunity for us to evaluate our lives and the sacrifice Jesus makes for the world.  Jesus showed us what is possible to happen in our life!  Will we follow in His example?  Can we follow in ...

Marriage: Intimacy you were made for Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   When the world experts start recognizing and verbalizing that there is something wrong with the way we engage in sex, then we know there is a problem.  Our culture has slowly shaped its perspective on sex for decades and we find ourselves lonely and isolated.  Unfortunately, the church has felt reluctant to talk about such a taboo issue.  But why would we be scared to share the truth about God's design for sex?  God's...

Perspective: Building a Biblical Worldview Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   Before we dive into Paul's perspective on marriage, we have to understand why he believed what he believed.  What was Paul's worldview and how was it developed?  Today, we find that Paul built all of his life perspectives on the Word of God, applied through the life of Christ, toward Jesus' abundant life.  This framed Paul's worldview on every topic and action in life.  Do you have a worldview built on these sam...

Acts: Follow Me Pastor Mitch Corea, Student Ministries Near the end of Acts chapter 2, we read of 3,000 new believers being saved and baptized. The obvious question one must ask when first professing faith in Jesus is: What now? It's assumed that our life will change when choosing to follow Jesus, but how? What does that mean? Today we take a look at what the apostles did with these new believers in the early church and how it is modeled after what Jesus had done with them during His ear...
