Cascade Church Monroe

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor We often make New Year's resolutions to commit to better health and becoming a better person. What would it look like to take a step outside of ourselves and ask how can we make this a year of Faith Application? Today we will look at Cascade's Vision and Mission through the lens of faith application and investing more in others. Click on the links below for additiona...

Dan Bushy, Missionary and Pastor In Isaiah 54, God speaks into the spiritual barrenness of Israel. He calls them to Himself and then promises His richest blessings. As believers, God is still calling people to Himself, to be honest, sincere and He will change our weaknesses into His strengths. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Have you ever been in the middle of listening to a favorite song only to have someone in the car switch songs on you? Most of us need the resolution to fully enjoy the song! If we were to stop reading His Word at the end of Malachi then we would be lost with the same lack of resolution. Jesus birth is the bridge that brings everything together and sings God's love so...

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Have you considered the perspective of the Angels as they declared the Gospel of Great Joy to the Shepherds? The angels had watched humanity struggle to understand God's Salvation and Provision of Grace from the beginning of history. And now they get to declare the birth of the one who would clearly fulfill the secret to finding the joy humanity longed for. Today we...

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor We often grow too familiar with the Birth Narrative accounts in Matthew and Luke and we lose the sense of awe it should inspire. Today we want to step back and see the bigger picture. This isn't the story of one "silent" night. This story is the culmination of millions of nights that began before time to tell a timeless story all connected to God's plan of Grace. Thi...

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Paul didn't do it alone! We often hear that Paul was the greatest church planter and evangelist the world has ever known. But what we see in the closing of the book of Colossians is an insight to the team that changed the world. In this passage we see the vision of becoming a disciple of Christ, what it looks like to belong to the Church, and how we each find meaning...

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor As we compare Colossians 3 with Philemon 1 we see an application of the Gospel to two men's lives. How did the transformation of Philemon's and Onesimus' hearts lead to radical reconciliation that displayed the glorification of God? While the gospel isn't written out in the book of Philemon we do see the gospel lived out in a way that can change the most conflicted o...

John Reynolds, Adult Ministries Pastor Colossians 3 paints the picture of a home oriented around Jesus where we are reflecting His love through humility, service, and mutual submission. Our marriages and families are meant to display the gospel—husbands loving like Christ, wives responding in respect, and parents nurturing their children. Whether single or married, every follower of Jesus is calle...

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor As we jump back into Colossians we find Paul drawing to a world changing conclusion. When we exalt Jesus we begin to look and live like Jesus! This may seem obvious but as Paul paints a picture of what one looks like truly clothed in Christ we begin to see someone living in a manner no one lives today. This life clothed in Christ creates the person and community of p...

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Over the past few decades many people have gotten bored with Church. They ask "Is the Church relevant to my daily life?" "Is the Church relevant to my family and work?" "How does the Church fit into my life's purpose?" Today we look to the words of Jesus to help us change the question. When we ask God, "What is your purpose and how does my life fit into it", then we...

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor In this passage Jesus was conditioning the disciples heart to accomplish incredible future work in the New Testament Church. Jesus' call to generosity is the fuel that would make kingdom work possible. How can we find the heart of Jesus that compels us above the normal obligations of tithe that will allow us to go beyond where we have been in the kingdom work He has...

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor As we enter the fall we want to be intentional with the trajectory set for our spiritual growth. This is the foundation for us as a church family. Are we growing from where we are? Today we will look again and Luke 12 and compare it to the parable of the sower in Matthew 13. Jesus used these parables to help the disciples know where the norms are, grow above these no...

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor In Luke 12 Jesus calls the disciples to an "above average" level of faith. In the midst of hard times, great darkness, and pressure from the Pharisees; Jesus ask the disciples to lean in with greater faith to advance the kingdom of God beyond where they have been.

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Today we wrap up our series on being immersed in the Word of God. As we evaluate 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 we see not only a call to battle to preach the Gospel to ourselves. We also see Paul's personal application of living this out. Do you live life knowing the intensity of the season we live in? The call today is to recognize, identify, and apply the gospel with the in...

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Jesus shared seemingly impossible words when He said "Do not be anxious about your life". There is a lot to stress over in life. We have needs that have to be met and these needs often consume our lives and turn into earthly treasures. How can we live in these times and NOT be anxious? Today Jesus gives us the answer in Matthew 6:33. Seek your good and perfect heaven...

Stu H, Adult Education Director Paul says that we are definitively dead to sin and alive in Christ. That sounds good, but, in our lives there are times where sin doesn't seem so dead. This passage helps brings some sense to the difference between justification and sanctification. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor  As followers of Jesus Christ we are not called to a passive but an active lifestyle of faith. In this section of Hebrews the author is inviting the readers into a lifestyle of HOLDING FAST. Step out of a life of passively conforming to the circumstances or culture around you. Instead we are called to set the temperature of the world by holding fast to our confession...

John Reynolds, Adult Ministries Pastor Psalm 1 presents two paths—the way of the righteous and the way of the wicked—and reminds us that true blessing and joy come through delighting in and meditating on God's Word. Psalm 1 challenges us to examine what is shaping our thinking, behavior, and identity, and urges us to root ourselves in Scripture so that we find that blessed life God offers us.  Cli...

Stu H., Adult Education Director  Are you aware that as believers, Christ will judge what we have done in the body? For some, that may sound daunting, but if we live our lives with the ambition of pleasing Him, it will be a glorious day. Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor  Numbers 6:24-26 is a very familiar Bible verse that sums up the entire Gospel. This is such a good verse to internalize and live in this week. In this verse we discover God's heart to bless His children through grace and to keep them secure in His peace. Walking in His blessing should change our lives forever.
