The Word, The Truth, The Gospel   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   The book of Colossians is Paul's exaltation of Jesus. But before digging into this book, we want to ask ourselves how much we exalt the greater book. Do we lift up the Word of God and value it as much as we value the breath in our lungs? Today, we begin our study by lifting up the miracle of His Word.   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Suffer Like Jesus   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   The unfortunate reality of living in a world broken by sin is that we absolutely will experience brokenness. Suffering and experiencing trials is guaranteed for all.  But there is good news. James directs us to be full of joy in the midst of our trials. This strange statement directs us to the new reality that we can only have in Jesus. The Gospel is the Good News that shows us that suffering isn't the end of the story. Today we see the hope that can be found in suffering like Jesus.   Philip Yancey: Where is God when it hurts Dr. Paul Brand:  The gift of pain CS Lewis:  The problem of pain  and    Surprised by joy Craig Groeschel:  Hope in the Dark Victor Frankle:  Man's search for meaning Joni Earekson Tada:  A place of healing   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

James Like Jesus   Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor   Who is James and what is his letter about? Often times this letter is approached as the ultimate checklist and guide to Christian behavior. Today, we will see that this letters contents are actually framed in identity. James' identity was radically changed by the identity of Jesus. When James' identity changed, everything about his life's activity changed as well. Before getting deep into the activities described in this letter, we must first ask ourselves if we have laid ourselves down at the Identity of Jesus.   Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.
