June 13th, 2021 - Engage: Word Centered Life: For our Broken World
June 13, 2021 14:00 - 40 minutes - 38.5 MBPastor Michael Lodge We need the Word of God for our broken lives to be restored into the likeness of Jesus. Our world needs the Word of God as the only source for its restoration! Our world is desperately trying to fix its own problems with the best answers it can find. But every worldly answer is a lesser gospel that can not address its brokenness. The world needs us to value the Word of God and help it find its way back to its Creator.

June 6th, 2021 - Engage: Word-Centered: For My Broken Life
June 06, 2021 14:00 - 46 minutes - 44 MBPastor Michael Lodge How solid is the foundation of your life? Every house has to have a solid foundation! And the same is true for the foundation of our life. The world gives us several options to build our foundation with. However, Jesus calls us to make His words the foundation for everything for our lives! The only thing that can fix our broken lives is finding Jesus through His Word. We need a Word-Centered life as the solution for our broken lives. Click on the links below fo...
May 30th, 2021 - Engage: The Shift From Me to We
May 30, 2021 14:00 - 53 minutes - 50.9 MBPastor Michael Lodge Is my faith only individual and are groups optional? That’s a question that frames much of our life experience in Jesus. In Acts we find only 16 verses that describe the first 14 years of Paul’s new life in Jesus. These 16 verses created the foundation for the next 10 years of Paul’s life on the road. In these first 16 verses Paul gives a face to the 10,000 unnamed early converts. How were these converts cared for and discipled? How did what Paul experienced fram...
May 23rd, 2021 - Engage: This is The Way
May 23, 2021 14:00 - 45 minutes - 43.6 MBPastor John Reynolds The first Christians were known as people of The Way. People who were fiercely committed to the reality that Jesus is The Only Way, that He alone is the way, the truth, and the life. This led them to form small groups/churches where they were deeply known, cared for, grown, and held accountable to fulfill Jesus’ Great Commandment and Commission. This week we look at The Way and what that means for us today. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resou...
May 16th, 2021 - Engage: What’s your bold move?
May 16, 2021 14:00 - 39 minutes - 37.9 MBPastor Michael Lodge We all have a graduation moment. A time that is defining and gives us opportunity to take the next step in life and maturity. That graduation moment for the disciples was Jesus’ invitation to become fishers of men. This moment required bold moves by Jesus and His disciples. As the disciples followed Jesus in these bold moves you see them take a giant step in life and maturity. What is your bold move that will give you the same opportunity? Click on the links be...
May 9th, 2021 - Engage: It began when
May 09, 2021 14:00 - 37 minutes - 36 MBPastor Michael Lodge Do you remember when it all started? What got you into your favorite pastime, job, or relationship? Everything has a beginning and the beginning often sets the tone for everything that follows. Today we look at the beginning of Jesus’ relationship with the disciples and find out how we can make a beginning with someone else. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

May 2nd, 2021 - Engage: Starting a Movement
May 02, 2021 14:00Pastor Michael Lodge 2000 years ago Jesus didn’t intend to “start” a new religion. He brought humanity into a new reality. Instead of focusing on changing the world Jesus focused on changing a group of men that would change the world. Jesus started a movement that would redefine reality forever. We are here because of that movement. So let’s see the movement so we can step into the movement with Jesus. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources. Connect Card:...
April 25th, 2021 - Reconnect: Grace, Generosity, and Abundant L3 Life
April 25, 2021 14:00 - 51 minutes - 49 MBPastor Michael Lodge God did not make us to be hoarders of His grace storing His blessings away in buckets. If we understand and deeply experience His grace we find that we must become generous allowing His grace and blessings to overflow from our lives into others. When we are generous we change the temperature of our life and experience a cycle of grace that changes the world. We are made to live generously like Jesus!

April 18th, 2021 - Reconnect: What Generosity Reveals
April 18, 2021 14:00 - 43 minutes - 41.1 MBPastor Michael Lodge Paul was known to say “Follow me as I follow Christ." The goal of every disciple is to be like Jesus! Today we discover generosity to be the thermometer that reveals how ‘like Jesus’ we are becoming. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

April 11th, 2021 - Reconnect: Step Into His Story
April 11, 2021 14:00 - 46 minutes - 43.7 MBPastor Michael Lodge Jesus left us an example to follow for life. This example moves us from just loving God to loving people. When our life story is all about us we fall into a rut and have little to live for. Jesus invites us into His life story that involves loving people like He loved people. It’s time to tell a better story. It’s time to step into His story! Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources. Connect Card: https://cascadechurch.org/connectcard ...
April 4th, 2021 - Know Greater Love
April 04, 2021 14:00 - 42 minutes - 40.5 MBPastor Michael Lodge On Friday we see a demonstration of “NO greater love” when Jesus took on the full weight and punishment of our sin. On Resurrection Sunday we see an opportunity for us to KNOW this greater love in a significant way. Easter is an invitation for us to come and see who Jesus really is, put our faith in Him, and find new life. Have you responded? Do you Know His Great Love?

March 28th, 2021 - Reconnect: Expressive Worship
March 28, 2021 14:00 - 1 hour - 72 MBPastor Michael Lodge We find two expressions of worship around Palm Sunday. Mary’s sacrificial worship and the city’s empty worship. As we listen to Peter’s words we ask the question “What does your worship express?” The more you know, love, and admire Jesus the more expressive your worship becomes.

March 21st, 2021 - Reconnect: Word Led Love
March 21, 2021 14:00 - 49 minutes - 46.7 MBPastor Michael Lodge John and Peter gave us an incredible word of encouragement when they called us to follow in Jesus example of life as they did. We can walk as Jesus walked! We can Love God as Jesus loved God! The same skills, attitudes, and tools that Jesus used to love God are available to us. The question is ‘Are we utilizing the same things Jesus used to love God’? Today we look at Jesus relationship with the Word of God and how it helped Jesus Love God. Click on the links be...

March 07, 2021 15:00 - 42 minutes - 40.5 MBPastor Michael Lodge Most of us know what L3 means. Love God, Love People, and Life Generously. Today we want to reconnect with our vision in a deeper way.

February 28th, 2021 - Ephesians: Be In to Become
February 28, 2021 15:00 - 42 minutes - 40.8 MBPastor Michael Lodge Paul ends his letter by driving home his main point- You have to remain In Jesus Christ! If there is any hope to find His blessings. If there is any hope to find our relationships restored. If there is any hope to show our world the mystery of His love. Then we can only find this hope IN JESUS CHRIST. We have an enemy and a war being waged against us. This enemy’s plan is to keep us from being in Jesus. Are we doing everything we can to stay in Jesus? Click on...
February 21st, 2021 - Ephesians: Light Over Tension
February 21, 2021 15:00 - 48 minutes - 45.8 MBPastor Michael Lodge Jesus knows if He can redeem our hearts then He can redeem our relationships. Paul has looked at how our inner transformation should also change our relationships in our church body and our family. Today Paul looks at the change that can happen in the one relationship that could have been filled with the most tension. If Jesus can redeem the relationship between masters and slaves, then Jesus can redeem any relationship that is affected by the tension of authority. ...
February 14th, 2021 - Ephesians: Marriage On Display
February 14, 2021 15:00 - 43 minutes - 41.5 MBPastor Michael Lodge What does it mean to be a marriage IN CHRIST? The church was asking this question. The city of Ephesus had a dark understanding of what this relationship looked like. Multiple wives, multiple concubines, multiple trips to the temple for “worship”... In chapter five, Paul spent less time writing about what was prohibited and more time celebrating what Jesus had to offer in the married relationship. Our marriages as believers are on display for the world to see! Are...
February 7th, 2021 - Ephesians: Our Call to His Body
February 07, 2021 15:00 - 40 minutes - 38.3 MBPastor Michael Lodge After pumping the Ephesians up in the truths of the Light of Jesus, Paul turns his attention first to how this truth helps us become that same light to the body of Christ. Before we can be a light to the world we have to see this reality in our faith family. God has a big vision for the church at Ephesus. This big vision is only possible if every member realizes they have a role to play and call to answer. God has given us the same call as a church in Monroe! Are we he...
January 31st, 2021 - Ephesians: Peace Over Hostility
January 31, 2021 15:00 - 44 minutes - 42.5 MBPastor Michael Lodge When we understand the Covenant made through Christ, we find ourselves in a new family. Jesus tore down the wall of hostility that separates us from our Father. And when we look around we see the opportunity to lay down other dividers that defined us and separated us from each other. We now have a new family identity that unifies is and brings peace! Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources. Connect Card: https://cascadechurch.org/connectcar...
January 24th, 2021 - Ephesians: Reflecting Grace
January 24, 2021 15:00 - 44 minutes - 42.4 MBPastor Michael Lodge Paul has been lavishing the Ephesians with an amazing message of God’s grace. As we move into chapter two, we find that this message isn’t meant just for their ears and hearts. The church in Ephesus had lives that reflected God’s grace. How can we keep our hearts sensitive to this message so that we not only receive this message of grace but reflect this message with changed lives?

January 17th, 2021 - Ephesians: What do you do with life transforming Truth?
January 17, 2021 15:00 - 42 minutes - 40.2 MBPastor Michael Lodge We have lived through and are living through a traumatizing time. Many will probably suffer from some form of PTSD. The Church in Ephesus was living through a traumatizing time as well. They could easily ask “What do we do with what has been done to us?” Instead, Paul redirects their attention and asks “What do you do with this life transforming truth?” Because the Church focused on this truth their lives were transformed and they experienced Post Traumatic Growth...
January 10th, 2021 - Ephesians: Becoming the Archetype
January 10, 2021 15:00 - 52 minutes - 50 MBPastor Michael Lodge Paul starts his letter to Ephesus by looking at what it means to be in Jesus. Paul sets the tone for the next two chapters by centering the believer “in Jesus”. God set out a plan from the beginning of time for His children to be found “in Jesus”. As Paul unfold’s what it means we find that there is no better place to be than in Jesus. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

December 13th, 2020 - By-product of love
December 13, 2020 15:00 - 38 minutes - 37.2 MBPastor Michael Lodge By-product: a secondary result, what is inevitably produced in doing or producing something else. Today we find the by-product of God’s goodness is His loving kindness. David gives us the picture of what the sheep leave behind when in the care of the Almighty Shepherd. If we stay in God’s goodness we will produce His loving kindness. What trail are you leaving behind? Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

9-13-20 Connect with One Another
September 14, 2020 17:04 - 40 minutes - 38.3 MBToday we wrap up the One Another series with the make it or break it One Another. Connect with One Another! If we don't connect we can't implement any other one another. In 1 Corinthians 12 Paul uses the analogy of a body to drive home the point that it is not an option to be disconnected.

Comfort One Another
September 08, 2020 16:13 - 43 minutes - 41.2 MBGod has called us to bring His comfort to His hurting people.
Serve One Another
August 31, 2020 20:55 - 46 minutes - 44.4 MBIn Galatians 5:13 Paul tells us that our freedom in Christ should be used to serve one another. This idea seems to counter much of what our culture tells us. What does it mean to serve? Why should it be a priority in our lives and how can we do it?
8-23-20 Encourage One Another
August 31, 2020 20:44 - 40 minutes - 38.7 MBNow more than ever we need encouragement. Hebrews is a book for those struggling to hang on! Today we will be encouraged by the author of Hebrews and hear the call to encourage those around us.
8-16-20 Forgive One Another
August 17, 2020 21:14 - 42 minutes - 41 MBCan we be honest enough to agree that we are not perfect? In an imperfect world filled with imperfect people we are bound to hurt one another. Most of us have a story of unforgiveness. A time when we were wronged, hurt, or misunderstood. It is so easy to block someone on facebook, defriend, and unfollow when relationships get hard. But Jesus calls us to radical forgiveness based on His forgiveness toward us.
8-9-20 Welcome One Another
August 12, 2020 17:36 - 43 minutes - 42.1 MBHospitality was a distinctive characteristic of the early church where people felt wanted, accepted and welcomed! Hospitality opens doors into living alongside each other!
4-5-20 Galatians: The Gospel we Love, Live, and Give
August 04, 2020 21:07 - 54 minutes - 37.8 MBToday we start our series on Galatians. Now more than ever we need to be ready to live out and give people the Gospel. But to do that we need to know what the Gospel is! Many times we can become so familiar with something that we have a hard time putting words around it. In this series, we will fall in love with the Gospel. We will see how it changes our lives every day. And hopefully become more passionate about giving the Gospel to a world in need.
4-12-20 The Gospel Brings New Life

4-19-20 The Gospel Brings Us Together
August 04, 2020 19:02 - 58 minutes - 40.2 MBGalatians 2:1-10, Luke 15:11-32 Today we look at two groups of people and compare them to the Older Brother and the Younger Brother in the prodigal parable. Jesus’ plan is for the gospel to bring us from different places to a unity found in the truth of the pure gospel. Jesus did the work. Jesus died for all. So all can come to Him and be unified in the gospel.

5-3-10 Galatians 3: 1-14
August 04, 2020 18:54 - 56 minutes - 38.8 MBDan Bushy - Pastor & Missionary. This passage is a call to the church about the great work that Jesus Christ did for us when he died on the cross. It shows us that we can not earn God's righteousness, His forgiveness, His acceptance or His love by our own self-righteous works. We must come to Him in faith for the duration of our Christian walk.
5-10-20 The Gospel & The Law
August 04, 2020 18:50 - 40 minutes - 29.7 MBMay 10th, 2020 - Pastor Michael Lodge The Gospel is good news that will take a life time to explore! Jesus gives us the free gift of salvation through faith in what He has done. We don't have to earn our salvation by good works. So what happens to the Law? Does it serve a purpose? Today we will see how the Gospel changes our relationship with God and the Law. Something that used to be a burden has now become an expression of Love!

August 04, 2020 18:47 - 50 minutes - 34.5 MBGalatians 5:1-15 What do we do with the Freedom that Jesus has given us? We are so quick to use it for our own selfish purposes. In today's climate and with all the issues facing our Church, Community, and Country we need to hear from the Word of God. Our Freedom is given to us to love our Neighbor!
6-21-20 Galatians
August 04, 2020 18:44 - 42 minutes - 29 MBJune 21st, 2020 - The gospel should change everything in our lives. Paul calls us to check our attitudes and be intentional with our relationships in the easy times as well as the difficult times. The gospel changes the way we forgive, challenge, and bear each other’s burdens. The gospel should change the way we relate to our friends, families, and community relationships.
