Cascade Community Church Podcast

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Our world has a lot to say about relationships, marriage, gender, and the guiding principle of "follow your heart and truth." And in the midst of that a claim is made that Jesus never said anything to any of those issues. Today we look at what Jesus did say and look to find the heart of what He wants for His creation to find flourishing vitality in life.

Michael Lodge - Speaking Pastor Does God help those who help themselves? Or does the Bible reveal a different pattern. If you are the kind of person that has a lot of anxieties toward the future. And if you have had the thought of whether God would show up to help you in those anxieties. Then you need to see this amazing truth. When we are a people saved by grace and growing in grace, then we can trust God to show up in grace as we live in grace. God helps those who know their need for grace!

Michael Lodge - Speaking Pastor We all struggle with hopeless voices of condemnation. Do you remember who you were and what you have done? Is there any chance you could truly change?

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Today John gets to the point of his letter. Smooth talking teachers were trying to infiltrate the church and lead these young believers astray. John calls these teachers antichrists and exposes the lies that they teach. John's encouragement is for these believers to know the truth, call out the lie, and remain in Jesus' words of truth. We live in a day of many influencers. A lot of people are saying a lot of "good" things. Are we able to discern the lies that surround us and know where to stay and where not to stay when it comes to the only thing that really matters?

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor It may be shocking to think... but there is something that God hates. God hates whatever takes His place in our lives. Whatever idol, addiction, or sin that has crept into our life is something that God absolutely hates. Today we see John address this hate as he guides us to evaluate our hearts and ask a life changing question. Do we hate what God hates and love what God loves? If we do, we will find our lives truly changed by His truth. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor One of the most important questions on many people's minds today is... How do I know that is true? From A.I. videos to unsubstantiated news false information is everywhere. What is true? Many people are turning to Christianity and asking whether it could be true. This is a question and concern that dates back to the first century. John wrote to us that we may know the truth. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor As Jesus looked around Galilee He stated that the work was plentiful and that the workers willing to step up to serve were... few. But Jesus already had a solution. He had 12 men at His side that He created for this good work. Today as we look at our Church and our community it can feel overwhelming with the amount of work that needs to be done. This sense of being overwhelmed will quickly dissipate when we all realize that we are ALL called to this work. What would it look like if this was the year we each stepped into service, discipling, and reaching? Can you imagine what God could do?

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Studies show that the majority of Christians believe it is important to share one's faith with the world. The same studies show that very few do this on a regular basis. If Jesus is the most important reality in our life that has changed us and led us to abundance in life, then how could we keep from sharing Him with those close to us in life? Today we are exploring the gospel and challenging ourselves to share it with one person this year. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Dan Bushy, Missionary and Pastor In Isaiah 54, God speaks into the spiritual barrenness of Israel. He calls them to Himself and then promises His richest blessings. As believers, God is still calling people to Himself, to be honest, sincere and He will change our weaknesses into His strengths. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Have you ever been in the middle of listening to a favorite song only to have someone in the car switch songs on you? Most of us need the resolution to fully enjoy the song! If we were to stop reading His Word at the end of Malachi then we would be lost with the same lack of resolution. Jesus birth is the bridge that brings everything together and sings God's love song to the world. Today we will unpack the Messianic Prophecies and their connection with Jesus' birth, life, death, and resurrection. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.
