Cascade Community Church Podcast

Pastor Nate gives a state of the church address and speaks of our vision for 2011 and beyond.

Pastor Nate describes Cascade's focus for the next season of ministry. Growing Deeper, Reaching Farther.

Pastor Jim Larrabee closes the Why We Exist series with the final of our four values, "Community".

The third value of Cascade is Multiplication.  Pastor Nate defines multiplication as it applies to the life of our church and who we are as believers.  We also hear from Pastors Jan and Scharme Hettinga and Joel and Kathy Madson, who are a few of the "champions" of multiplication here at Cascade.

Today, Pastor Nate takes a look at the second of Cascade's values, Transformation.  God's process of sanctification is transformation and transformation means becoming more like Jesus.  Nate interviews Pastor Jim Larrabee who is leading the way for the family of Cascade to connect with others in order to bring about God's transformation in their lives.

Pastor Nate introduces us to Cascade's values beginning with worship.  He interviews Worship Pastor, Scott Anderson and his wife, Alison to get their perspective on the value of worship at Cascade.

At the beginning of this new year, Pastor Nate reminds us of the importance of knowing God's Word, and presents us with a challenge for the year.

Pastor Jim Larrabee starts the new year with a message that asks the question," What Does God Hope/Expect from me in the New Year?"

Pastor Nate finishes the Christmas series with this final message that portrays Christmas through the eyes of Mary.

Just as Joseph learned, God's plan may require a change in my plans, but God's plans are worth pursuing.

Herod was a man that would kill anyone who got in the way of his crown.  Like so many of us, Herod treasured his power, and control more than anything or anyone else. Christmas is a time to surrender our crowns and give them back to the only one who deserves to wear it; Jesus.

Zechariah and Elizabeth had the dream of having children.  Late in their years, God finally answered their prayers.  God keeps His promises.

In busy times like The Holidays, it's easy to lose focus of what's really important unless we are seeking God regularly and intentionally.

The last message in the "Beginnings" series.  Pastor Nate points out that we can be thankful for the same things that Noah was thankful for; life, provision, salvation & God's presence.

As we take a look at Noah and the flood, we see that God is a God of second chances.

Like Noah, maybe pursuing God means chasing big, crazy dreams.

As Pastor Nate continues in Genesis, we take a look at Noah's heart of obedience and love for God.  What we learn from him is that "if we really want to live, we have to get in the boat."

Families make a difference.  What will you pass on to the next generation

We are not destined to become a conglomeration of our parents' mistakes.  When we call on God, and surrender to His leadership, He intervenes with grace.

Continuing in Genesis, Pastor Nate takes a look at the fall of man, the consequences, and the grace that God offers despite our sinful nature.
