God’s Call to Sound Doctrine and the Hidden Strategy Dan Bushy, Associate Pastor & Missionary   Titus is one of the most undervalued books in the New Testament. Paul calls Titus to reestablish order and appoint Elders to a church that was plagued with worldly issues. When we get to see the relationship between Paul and Titus we realize that the hidden strategy is discipleship. Titus is little known and not talked about much in Christian circles but he was a man of great love, maturity, dedication and commitment to God. In this book, we see how good doctrine opens the way for right living. Oh how we need this truth today.   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Ephesians: Our Being Directs Our Doing   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   Paul goes to great lengths to ground us in our new identity IN Christ.

The Church at Philippi was a church that Paul loved more than all others.  In this letter we find Paul encouraging the Church to keep running in their partnership together.  Today we find three key attributes of the Philippians Church that could greatly change our lives.  We need people, a purpose, and the ability to persevere. 

The Proton of Jesus   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   Colossae was a small mountain town that had fallen from prominence.  But a significant church movement had begun by some friends of Paul.  In this letter, we find a lot we can relate to.  In it, we find the answer to spiritual protection, spiritual growth, and change in every area of life.  This answer is rooted in the simple question; Is Jesus proton in your life?   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

A Faith that Leads to Life   John Reynolds, Family Ministries Pastor   Paul’s letter to the church in Galatia was sent to remind the church of the true freedom they have in Christ. We, too, must simply put our full faith in Christ Jesus and when we do, we will find the true life by the Spirit we are meant to live. Join us as we look at how faith leads us to real life.    Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

The Fundamentals   Mitch Corea, Student Ministries Pastor   The faith of the church in Rome was known throughout the world. Paul wrote to them with hope and anticipation to meet them one day and use this body to spread the Gospel further than it had gone before. He also knew of some division amongst the Jewish and Gentile believers in Rome. It was for these reasons that Paul wrote to the church in Rome his most complete explanation of the Gospel. Even still today, this letter serves as one of the greatest ways to know the fundamental truth of the Gospel of Jesus from beginning to end. It is as imperative for believers today to know this letter as it was for the original recipients in Rome a couple thousand years ago.     Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Turning From Idols   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   The faith of the Thessalonians went viral in the first century.  Paul spent very little time establishing this Church.  However, the foundation was enough to cause this group of people to put their trust in Jesus and live radically different lives.  What was it about this Church that caused everyone across the Mediterranean world to know them?  How can we be inspired by this Church to turn from our idols and trust in Jesus alone?   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

To Whom It May Concern Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor As we wrap up our study on Acts, we will turn our attention to the letters that were written during this story.  Over the next several months, we will be looking at each letter to understand why we desperately need it.  Today, we look at Paul’s life and travels to understand the desperation it must have taken to write, deliver, and walk these letters into the communities that received them.  Do you understand who Paul was, who the communities were, and the passion behind the 10,000 miles of travel?  Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

The Challenging, Beautiful, and Effective News   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   Many of us are like Thomas.  We need to see it before we believe it.  But what we find today is that our believing is often found in seeing the good news in someone else’s life.  Thomas was challenged by the resurrection of Jesus.  This challenge resulted in an unexplainable and beautiful peace.  This peace became the source of people seeing the good news through his life!  Do people see the resurrection of Jesus in your life?     Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Only the King Could Carry this Weight    Mitch Corea, Student Ministries Pastor   Have you ever owed a large debt? In this passage, we see the culmination of Jesus' work on earth and the fulfillment of several prophecies. "It is finished." Within this one statement is the climax of the Gospel story and the completion of a work began by God all the way back in Genesis. His work is finished. The debt for our sin has been paid in full.   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Only the King Could Lay His Life Down   John Reynolds, Family Ministries Pastor   At just the right time, Jesus did what only He could do. He laid down His life for us. He told His disciples “my hour has come.” No one takes my life from Me; I lay it down freely.  He told Pilate “You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given to you from above.”  Jesus made it clear… This is my demonstration to the world.  I lay my life down for you. What is our response to this demonstration of love and sacrifice from Jesus?   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Maybe you didn't realize it's worth until years of having it! As we read John 19 we find Pilate in a similar spot. As he examines the life of Jesus we have an opportunity to understand Jesus' life as fully man and fully God. How does this shape our understanding of His life and the impact it has on our hearts? As we look to the Resurrection let us see His LIFE lead us to new life in new and deeper ways!   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Following Judas, Peter, or Jesus Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   As we set our eyes towards Resurrection Sunday we move through a season of contemplation.  Who are we and who is our heart following?  Every time we read John 18 two disciples capture our attention.  How often do we consider how similar we are to Judas and Peter?  Jesus calls us to follow Him but we often find ourselves consumed with treasures, running ahead of Jesus, or hiding in the shadows.  If we want to see abundant life we have to die to these tendencies and truly make Jesus the Risen Lord.   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

An Invitation to New Life Pastor Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   As we step back into John, we take steps with Jesus through His final days, His death, and most importantly His resurrection.  John 12:23-28 frames these final steps beautifully for us.  Each of these steps provide a contemplative opportunity for us to evaluate our lives and the sacrifice Jesus makes for the world.  Jesus showed us what is possible to happen in our life!  Will we follow in His example?  Can we follow in His steps?  Will we lay down our lives and accept His invitation for new life?   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.
