Gospel Driven Here, Near, and Far   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   As we wrap up our series on Follow Me, we look at the movement of Jesus' purpose and how He uses us to accomplish that purpose here, near, and far.

To Walk Like Jesus   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   What does it look like for someone to follow Jesus? John the disciple chose to follow Jesus early in his life. When we read his letter 1 John we find a disciple that has become mature in his faith and the reality of a life marked by following Jesus. Today we look at John's journey toward maturity and the steps Jesus took him through to not only...

Follow Me in Purpose Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Cascade's mission is to Love God, Love People, and Live Generously. We feel this is the purpose that Jesus has placed us in Monroe. At a time so many people are leaving church, I believe this purpose is what compels the people at Cascade to live a life of purpose. Our faith is relevant to everyday life and Jesus has called us to live a life like...

Our Promised King   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   What is it like to be in the presence of a King? What would it be like to be in the presence of the King of all Kings? Today, we read through Psalm 24 and understand the gravity and intensity behind the exalted King of Glory. When the Wise men knelt in worship, they did so with gifts fit for a King. Can we respond to His presence in the same way...

Our Promised Prophet Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Today we celebrate the advent of our Promised Prophet. Prophets spoke throughout the Old Testament to give God's word to Israel and to lead them in God's way. God told Moses that one day the Promised Prophet would come and be greater than he.

November 10, 2024 - Good Master - Perfect Father Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Our God stands in contrast to everything in this world. He is the true light in the darkness. What does this contrast look like and how does it shape our lives to be in contrast. When you know a God of contrast you will live a life in contrast. Today we look at the stark contrast of God being our Redeeming Master and P...

New Foundation + New Destination = A Renewed You Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor All of you needs to be renewed. But how does that process play out? How does Abiding in Jesus through the Word and in Prayer actually renew us? Today, we will read through Colossians 3 and see what happens when we find a new foundation and our new destination all through Christ. Click on the links below for additional...

How much of you needs to be renewed? Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Why is abiding in Jesus so important? What is the endgame? It may be shocking to come to the realization that our personal salvation makes up only a little percentage of the content of the New Testament. Most of what Paul, James, Peter, and John write about centers around our need to be renewed after salvation. This is a process w...

Daily Realities to Grow Your Discipline of Prayer Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Prayer is often better caught than it is taught. Do you have someone who has modeled a life of prayer for you? Today we look at Paul's prayer in Philippians and see the daily realities that helped him abide in prayer daily. Paul calls to us to look to Him and imitate him as he imitates Jesus. What can we catch from Pa...

Prayers of Delight Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Desperation may be what it takes to rightly position us before God. But thank God that's not what He uses to keep us there. Our seasons of desperation can be defined by our delight in an all sufficient Savior! Today, we look at Psalm 63 and apply delight to the prayer acronym of A.C.T.S. We want to grow as disciples in our love and practice of pray...

Prayers of Desperation Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Jesus calls us to Abide in Him. He gives us His Word as a foundation to know Him and prayer as a means to communicate with Him. Today, we look at the motivation of desperation. Desperation rarely feels great, but it serves as a motivation that leads to sobering self evaluation. How can desperation position us before God and provide us an opport...

Can you Trust what's in your Hands? Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Jesus calls us to abide in Him. One of the main ways we are to do this is through our relationship with the Word of God. But we can't have a healthy relationship with the Word of God if we can't trust the Word of God. Today we will learn from Dr. Daniel Wallace's study of New Testament manuscripts to see if we can trust in what we...

How to Not be a Fool Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor As we wrap up our series on Proverbs, we have to ask this question. What will we do with what we know?  Will we make a checklist on the do's and don'ts of wisdom and hope to not be a fool? If so, we missed the point of Proverbs. Today we find the connection. How do we walk in wisdom? By sitting at the table with the King! Abiding in Him is the ke...

What are we looking for? Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor We live in a world that is starving for intimacy. The way of folly leads us to a misunderstanding of pursuing the wrong thing. It's easy to see that when it comes to sex and relationships our world has fallen into an empty and broken place. How does wisdom lead us to find what we are really looking for?

Choose Your Words Carefully Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor How can something we use everyday carry the power of life and death? Our words have more power than we can imagine.

When Debt and Life get reconciled Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor What do we do with what we have? The truth that Proverbs reveals is that the minority of the world controls the majority of wealth. And we use that to get drunk on idols and become even more in debt and enslaved to sin while the rest of the world starves in want. But it's not too late to respond to the grace offered by Proverbs and t...
