Cascade Community Church Podcast

Today we look at James 4:13-17 and see what the Word of God has to say about finding His will.  We will explore two filters that can distract us from finding God's will and we will also look at two things we can do to better find His will.  If we are to have an active faith we need to know where He wants us to go.   Continue the conversation. Click here to access this Sunday's followup questions.

Seriously?! You're worshipping me now? Today we look at Jonah in his worst situation. What similarities do we find in Jonah and Jesus as they approach pain and suffering? We find a God that brings comfort and purpose to our pain. Listen as we examine the hearts of Biblical heros and discover how we can push through our worst situations.

Reading the story of Jonah makes you stop & mutter "Seriously?!" every few minutes. What does God have to say to our generation from this story of God's love for all people?

Dumb Thing #6: YOLO (You Only Live Once). Actually, you live forever somewhere. Pastor Nate is joined by his wife, Amy, for this Mother's Day conversation.

Dumb Thing #5 - A church kid guarantees a godly kid. Taken out of context many people believe this is what Proverbs 22:6 promises. This message teaches that what happens at home is more contagious than what happens at church; so as goes the home, so goes the church.

Dumb Thing #4, Does God have a plan for your life? Is this plan knowable? What if we make a mistake? Pastor Nate takes us to Romans 12 for this talk.

Dumb Thing #3: God will never give you more than you can handle. Actually, He will. Learn what to do when tough times come.
