Pastor Michael Lodge Walking through the Valley of the Shadow of Death is part of everyone’s life.  The gift the Shepherd gives is a peace that becomes a reality greater than the pain.  Today we follow David’s journey into the valley and find the shepherds help in our greatest need.  If we walk with our shepherd he can make us a garden that defies the evil around us.

Pastor Michael Lodge Every sheep is important to the shepherd. His eyes are always watching to care and direct his flock. Often times sheep will become cast down and become in need of rescue. Today we find our God the Healer who is eager to restore His sheep back to being upright before Him. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

After being made to find rest the sheep deepen their understanding of their Shepherd's care.  The sheep are now ready to be led in the comfort of submission.  As they grow in their need for water the faithful Shepherd leads them to what will satisfy their thirst.  Only the Shepherd knows where to find still waters in a land dry and arid.  Can we find satisfaction in the comfort of submitting to a Shepherd that knows where to lead us?

When we know our Shepherd more something grows within us. The more we understand who He is and what He continues to do in our life, the more at peace we become. In the shadow of our shepherd we find peace and rest. Today explore the four ways our Shepherd watches over us to make us find this rest.

Today 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. We must connect so we can become who Jesus wants us to be and step into the mission He has called the Church to.

God has called us to bring His comfort to His hurting people.

In 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?

Now 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.

Can 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.

Hospitality was a distinctive characteristic of the early church where people felt wanted, accepted and welcomed! Hospitality opens doors into living alongside each other!

Today 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.

The Gospel of Jesus brings new life, and the resurrection is the culmination of the gospel. Join us for our online celebration services as we examine the encounter that changed the Apostle Paul’s life forever and ask the question, “Has the Gospel brought ME new life?”

Galatians 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.

Pastor Joel Madson - Galatians 2:11-21 If the gospel is alive in our lives then our lives should reflect the gospel.

Dan 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.

May 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!

Galatians 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!

June 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.
