Cascade Community Church Podcast

In Matthew 6, Jesus reveals that the way to understand what we value is to follow the "Treasure Trail". Pastor Nate wraps up the generous series with this talk on mastering our possessions through Gratitude & Generosity.

A Tool, a Test and a Trademark. Our stuff and what we do with it says a lot about us. This message is the 2nd half of a conversation we began last week.

What if we could impact eternity with simple choices we make today regarding our own stuff? Pastor Nate continues the conversation by telling the story from Luke 16 about a shrewd businessman.

The Bible is full of faith stories, but what really is faith? In the gospel of Matthew there is a faith story of a soldier who asks Jesus for help with a friend. When Jesus agrees to help, the response of this soldier astonishes Jesus! It is a remarkable story! Faith is not believing something and "poof" it comes to pass, but rather a belief that is based in a powerful reality!

Week 2 of Generous! What does Jesus have to say about getting free financially? About retirement (what's that?) -- about saving? Pastor Nate continues the conversation by taking us to Jesus' Word in Luke 12.

More is better, right? More cell phone minutes, more internet speed, more money in the bank. How about more of God's love, more of His grace - and more forgiveness? The crazy thing is the more we experience God's generosity and kindness, the more we want to live it out by being "more" to those around us. Weekly Study Questions

What is the connection between forgiving and being forgiven? Do I have to forgive even if the other person doesn't apologize? Pastor Nate wraps up the "Trapped" series with a conversation about releasing offenses.

Trapped: Week Three - "They Should Have Known Better". It's one thing to be betrayed by a brother or sister. What do you do when it's a leader or a father who has mistreated you? David was a man who understood how to live with a disappointing leader - and he didn't take the bait or get offended!

Week 2 of Trapped. Ever wondered, "How could this happen to me?" or "Do I have the right to be offended when someone messes with me?" We're going deep into the story of Joseph at 8, 9:30 and 11:15am!

Our culture is captivated by offense, and captive to it. Have you taken the bait? Broken relationships, frustration and resentment, dissatisfaction and envy... these are a few symptoms of captivity. GOOD NEWS! You don't have to stay trapped. Freedom brings peace, forgiveness, strength and compassion.

Why did Matthew include all of the dirty laundry in the family tree of Jesus? Maybe it's because Jesus didn't just come to save sinners. Maybe sinners are the point for why Jesus came. Pastor Nate speaks from Matthew 1 & 9 in the first of four talks this Christmas season.
