Cascade Community Church Podcast

The wise men went on quite a journey together. An unexpected journey. We all have our share of unexpected journeys. Let's learn together some of the lessons of the wise men.

Joseph & Mary. Zechariah & Elizabeth. We can learn some lessons from them about how to respond to the unexpected.

Acts 5-6 The Spirit was doing a huge work in Jerusalem!  But it was just the tip of the iceberg in the vision of what was to come.  How did the Church live in times of such brokenness? If the vision Jesus gave the disciples was going to take hold the people had to own the work!  They couldn’t go to church they had to be the church. If the broken world was going to experience Jesus the Church had to become the Body of Christ.  How will we live in our broken world?

Acts 2:1-13; 40-41 I’m sure the disciples were struggling with “I miss Jesus”, things aren’t going to be the same without Him”  The voice that had led them for three years was gone… But Jesus didn’t leave them without a Vision. Jesus was gone but He gave them a ministry statement and a vision to run with.  GO into all the nations and make disciples. Today we will find ourselves in the story of Acts chapter 2 and be encouraged to hear that God has given us a strong vision to run with.

Things were growing out of control for the early Church!  The Spirit had empowered them to a vision that was accelerating quicker than expected... The Church became a movement known NOT for it's building, programs, or speaker.  Church quickly became identified by its radical love for each other.  It was a place where lives were transformed, hearts were cared for, needs were met, and the world was changed.  What would Cascade Community Church look like if we were transformed by the Spirit and lived transformed together?

Michael Lodge, Student Ministries Pastor A brand new series that will take us through the first six chapters of Acts. Learn how the Disciples were led by the Holy Spirit through a great transition, laying a foundation for the greatest movement and growth in church history. The Kingdom of God advanced because the Disciples chose to step into action with the Holy Spirit.

After 23 years Pastor Nate gives his last sermon from Philippians 4.

Jesus doesn't save us to leave us where we are. The life of a Jesus follower is a journey and He's not finished with you yet! So press on!   Phil 3

Get Ready...For an Attitude Adjustment

Something's coming - you can feel it.It might be God but you're not sure. How is God going to see us through? The apostle Paul had these thoughts in mind when he writes to the "Church of his Heart" in Philippi. And God's Word has the same message for us today.

September 29, 2019 Nate Hettinga, Lead Pastor I Want to Know Christ - Philippians 3:7-14 Pastor Nate is back from sabbatical and shares his Origin Story of faith and following Jesus, no matter where He leads. The message is centered on Nate's "life verses" in Philippians 3.

Peter is possibly one of the most relatable of Jesus' disciples that we read of in scripture. A normal man, a tradesman, with plans of his own, until one day God called him to something greater. What can and will God do with us if we learn, like Peter, to answer God's call.

James the brother of Jesus, did not believe Jesus was the Messiah, but his life was radically changed when he saw his brother resurrected. He lived the rest of his life seeking to lead others to faith in Jesus. We all get only one life, what will you do with yours?

In all of our stories, there are times of struggle in obeying the voice of God. Today we look at one who ran from God's grand invitation to enter into His story. Jonah, like each of us, had a choice to obey or not. Jonah chose to say "No!" to God because of his cultural bias. God did not give up on Jonah but gave him a second chance to join in God's story.

"It's not me, it's GOD." This sounds so simple and trite and yet it really is the truth for salvation and living salvation out. Today we take a look at how a transformed life is All GOD and how HE includes us, by HIS grace, to be a part of this miracle of new life in JESUS!

Thankfully God has given us examples in scripture to learn from, good and bad. In Abram we see both as he steps out in faith but is shaken along the way. The biggest mistake we can make is not listening and missing the call. God give us ears to hear and hearts to obey.

The heroes of our faith loom large in the epic stories - our stories. Men and women like us, broken and weak, but with courage to believe that our God keeps His promises. Every story pointing to the Promised One. Every act of faith helping us believe, again, that God still tells His story in the lives of those who live by faith.

For over 2000 years, Jesus Christ has been disrupting the status quo. Mark records the life and teaching of the Messiah in vivid detail, revealing how Jesus raised up disciples who were then given the charge to change the world. Jesus and his message of hope are still disrupting lives today. Do you know his story?
