Our Promised Prophet Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Today we celebrate the advent of our Promised Prophet. Prophets spoke throughout the Old Testament to give God's word to Israel and to lead them in God's way. God told Moses that one day the Promised Prophet would come and be greater than he. Today, we see how Jesus not only answered the prophecies, but answered the position as the Promised Prophet. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

The more you grow in your appreciation of His Sovereignty the more you realize you are not lost in a world of chaos and confusion. God is in control. Not only is He in control but He is near you as a loving shepherd. Do you know Him as your Sovereign Shepherd?

How much of you needs to be renewed? Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Why is abiding in Jesus so important? What is the endgame? It may be shocking to come to the realization that our personal salvation makes up only a little percentage of the content of the New Testament. Most of what Paul, James, Peter, and John write about centers around our need to be renewed after salvation. This is a process we refer to as sanctification.

Can you Trust what's in your Hands? Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Jesus calls us to abide in Him. One of the main ways we are to do this is through our relationship with the Word of God.

Today we will learn from Dr. Daniel Wallace's study of New Testament manuscripts to see if we can trust in what we have today.

As our identities are renewed by Jesus, we will have new activity coming from our lives. This is Paul's premise as he moves to the end of his letter to the Romans. Romans 12:1-2 becomes a point of application to every part of our lives. If we are being renewed, we will have a spirit of sacrificial worship that pervades our lives.

Our 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 desperately broken hearts.

The 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 the transformative pursuit of the Gospel. This is a Gospel that calls us all to BE ALL IN.

Getting Over It
John Reynolds, Family Ministries Pastor
Jesus gave us the commandment to love one another for our good and His glory. But we often don’t do this well. Sometimes we are the ones who offend people, and other times we are the offended ones, so what do we do? Join us this week as we look at what God’s Word says about getting over it!

To 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.

BE 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 the burden of anger that we have held onto for so long?

Today we wrap up our Dwell series with Psalm 63. In this Psalm, David passionately declares his love and worship of God. David’s ability to live in this state of mind shaped everything about his life. Living in praise shaped his posture and perspective through life’s hardest circumstances. When we learn to dwell in God’s presence we begin to live the the life we were made for. |

Michael 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? |

Rooted for LIFE
Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor
Psalm 1 sets the reader up to experience depth and vitality in life. David gives the reader three objectives that could most positively impact their journey. In this Psalm, we find a God that cares for our days, our friendships, and our experiences in our waking hours. Can we trust this God and follow the advice that could reshape everything around us?

That I May Dwell
Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor
We need to pray and meditate on God's Word! In a world of darkness and unpredictable seasons of life we need to hold onto God. But beyond our need we find a desire and yearning just to experience what God promises us... His presence. We don't just need to meditate on God, we GET to meditate on God and experience His presence. Today in Psalm 27 we see how knowing God, affects our hearts, which leads to action, and an appeal to hope!

When is the Gospel?
Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor
The Corinthians had an experience with the Gospel that led to salvation. However, the Gospel wasn’t leading to life transformation in their day to day lives. Paul was writing to help them see this important truth. We need the Gospel everyday and in every way. When we understand the fullness of the Gospel we will not only lead changed lives but lives of impact and community.

God’s Call to Sound Doctrine and the Hidden Strategy
Dan Bushy, Associate Pastor & Missionary
Titus is one of the most undervalued books in the New Testament. Paul calls Titus to reestablish order and appoint Elders to a church that was plagued with worldly issues. When we get to see the relationship between Paul and Titus we realize that the hidden strategy is discipleship. Titus is little known and not talked about much in Christian circles but he was a man of great love, maturity, dedication and commitment to God. In this book, we see how good doctrine opens the way for right living. Oh how we need this truth today.

The Proton of Jesus
Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor
Colossae was a small mountain town that had fallen from prominence. But a significant church movement had begun by some friends of Paul. In this letter, we find a lot we can relate to. In it, we find the answer to spiritual protection, spiritual growth, and change in every area of life. This answer is rooted in the simple question; Is Jesus proton in your life?

The Fundamentals
Mitch Corea, Student Ministries Pastor
The faith of the church in Rome was known throughout the world. Paul wrote to them with hope and anticipation to meet them one day and use this body to spread the Gospel further than it had gone before. He also knew of some division amongst the Jewish and Gentile believers in Rome. It was for these reasons that Paul wrote to the church in Rome his most complete explanation of the Gospel. Even still today, this letter serves as one of the greatest ways to know the fundamental truth of the Gospel of Jesus from beginning to end. It is as imperative for believers today to know this letter as it was for the original recipients in Rome a couple thousand years ago.

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?

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!

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.

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 demonstration of love and sacrifice from Jesus?

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 we look to the Resurrection let us see His LIFE lead us to new life in new and deeper ways!

Following Judas, Peter, or Jesus
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 life we have to die to these tendencies and truly make Jesus the Risen Lord.

Marriage: Intimacy you were made for
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 design for sex leads us to abundant life and the intimacy we were made for!
