Cascades Church Sermons

In this Family Service, we explore one of Jesus’s famous interaction with children. When Jesus’s disciples ask him who is the greatest in the kingdom, he uses a tangible object lesson: a little child. Living in the kingdom of Heaven means learning to live as a child of God.

As the tension of Jesus’ final days reaches its climax, Mary recognizes what others miss and pours out extravagant love in an act of untamed devotion that mirrors Christ’s own journey to the cross.

Jesus’ humble entry into Jerusalem reveals a King who upends our expectations by holding majesty and mercy, might, and gentleness in perfect balance.

Daniel 7 highlights a pattern about life during exile and a promise for life after exile.

Pride distorts — it elevates us above God and leaves us unable to relate rightly to Him or to others. In Daniel 4, God humbles King Nebuchadnezzar and uses Daniel to reveal His truth and grace through two vital postures: compassion and courage. If we’re going to live as a creative minority in our day, […]

Everyone worships. The question is what we will give our ultimate attention and affection to. In Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego remind us that no matter the cost, God alone is worthy of our worship and He alone is able to deliver us. Their encounter with God also teaches us that what we elevate […]

How can we influence a culture often at odds with God’s ways while remaining faithful to God?

These practices vital to be being […]

The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant is perhaps the longest and most sustained engagement on the topic of forgiveness that you will find in all of the New Testament.
