Pastor Michael Lodge John's gospel was written to a people very similar to us.  John chose very specific events and words from Jesus to challenge and encourage the world around him.  Many people were defining truth to meet their own needs.  Others were trying to find life in an empty religion.  John was sharing the message that abundant life could only be found in Jesus Christ.   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

September 19th, 2021 - The Wake Up Call

Pastor Michael Lodge The Jews that were being written to lived in hard times.  They were under immense pressure, persecution, and heavy life circumstances.  In the midst of this they were called to run a race.  As we read in Hebrews 13 we find that it is not a solo race of survival.  They were called to thrive in the mission of Jesus' life and run the race together.   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

September 5th, 2021 - Run the Race Together

Pastor Michael Lodge We face difficult questions in our world today. What do we do?  Where do we go? How do I live in a world that is in conflict with God's truth?  We are not the first to wrestle with these questions.  We have generations of believers that have helped answer and give us a model on how to hold fast to these answers in the midst of great weariness.  Take comfort!  We can fix our eyes on Jesus and trust Him to lead us to the right answers. Hold fast and don't give up! Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Pastor Dan Bushy God has called us to be His ambassadors to the ends of the earth. To do this, we need to understand the keys needed to become more mission-minded. 1) Embrace God’s heart for World Missions. 2) See that the fields are ripe for harvest. 3) Mobilize both people and resources for the unfinished task. 4) Be committed to release and support missionaries both locally and internationally. 5) Be committed to completing the task of the Great Commission. 6) Ask God for a new release of pioneer missionaries to be sent out.

August 8th, 2021 - Run with Courage

Pastor Michael Lodge Run like Jesus!  He has given us an example to follow so let's study how He ran and run in the same way!  Today we look at Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well and we see Jesus' unparalleled skill at speaking truth around sensitive issues with grace.  This is a skill that we have to learn if we are to run in this world with the Gospel.  How do we compassionately share the truth around such hot button issues?  They won't hear unless we learn how to speak!  Let's run like Jesus!

August 1st, 2021 - Run with Grace and Truth

Pastor Michael Lodge Does anyone really enjoy running?  Only those genetically built to run can actually enjoy it right?  At least that's the excuse I hide behind.  Today we find that when it comes to faith, God created us to run.  He has designed us with unique attributes to run the race before us.  As we run, we find that we fulfill our role in bearing His image to the world!  Are we doing something with the talents God has designed us with?   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.
