How do we build an honest faith into an honest life? We go to church, have faith, read the Bible, and try to make good choices that align with all of it - yet, bad things still happen. We are human. Bad things will still happen. The truth is honest faith in God won’t keep bad things from happening, but it means we will not suffer alone. You can ask…

Having faith doesn't mean we won't have questions, which can make it complicated to walk by faith. Faith also doesn't mean we won't have negative experiences, but how do we know God is with us through them?Casas Church tarafından oluşturuldu

Having faith doesn't mean we won't have questions, which can make it complicated to walk by faith. Faith also doesn't mean we won't have negative experiences, but how do we know God is with us through them?

God is partnering with all of us to keep sharing our mission of acceptance, love, and freedom in Jesus. You make a difference. Whether you directly participated in the event or helped support Love Our City financially, we celebrated what our partnership organizations do in Tucson daily to love people in our surrounding community and how that love c…

In the first week of this series, we looked at an example of a difference-maker in the story of Ruth. Then last week we realized through the story of David that despite any obstacle, God can use us as a difference-maker. This week we learned that there might be moments where we are prepared to make a difference, we have our expectations all set, an…

We can often struggle with the idea that we’re all difference-makers. If we look at the life of David who was one of the most revered kings in the Bible we see that from when he was first anointed to be the future king to when he became king - 15 years passed. This teaches us that it sometimes takes a while to be the difference maker we want to bec…

If you reflect on your life, who was a difference maker for you? Who was the person who you’ve been positively influenced by? Throughout scripture, there are difference-makers. People that God has used for His purpose in amazing ways. In this series, we’ll learn more about what it is to be a difference maker. This first week we looked at Ruth and d…

Our emotions are an indication of what’s going on in our hearts. We often experience strong emotions before fully understanding what’s happening. This can have more of an effect than we realize. In the book of Jonah, we learned that Jonah kept running from the emotions he needed to address. He did not address the source of the smoke. Smoke is an in…

Sometimes we get on the ride of the shame rollercoaster. There is always an opportunity to return to the story of Christ in us. That is your story and who you are. Your identity, worth, and value are anchored in Christ, leaving no space for shame. Christ canceled any shame you are trying to carry. You are ultimately meant to be free and alive in Je…

In this series, we’re exploring all the different moments that come our way and how we can approach them differently so we don’t get caught up in a ride that we don’t want to be on. This week we dove into Titus 3 and we asked, “What if Christ is the answer that makes the difference in our lives so we don’t engage situations in the same way?” If Chr…

Wouldn’t you love to have a year where you were connected to where God is leading you then with people who are on a ride you don’t want to get on? Proverbs gives us a lot of insight on how we can pursue that. If we’re aware of different mindsets that people are coming from we can have a new level of awareness and change how we interact with them, w…

Let's begin the New Year by spurring one another on to love that is action as it says in Hebrews 10. Let's continue to be in a community together and hold on to the hope of God. We have access to a relationship with God because of Jesus Christ so let's embrace it. There are some good and beautiful things coming in this New Year. We pray for God to …

We extended this series about all the kinds of relationships you experience in life to learn more about the dynamics within a romantic relationship - particularly marriage. This series has been for everyone and we hope that by learning how to change some dynamics within relationships, you’ll be able to change how you interact with them.…

Today was all about how to change the dynamic within romantic relationships and read through passages in Song of Songs. When we get into a dance that neglects to value connection, how do we move back toward one another? There are two practical ways to step into intentional connection. 1) Be available. When you need each other, be there for each oth…

Every church has a unique opportunity in today’s culture. In this message, we learned what is important to us as a church and what challenges that presents. We also discovered how we are uniquely positioned as a church in reaching our wider community, and why we’ve chosen to highlight certain dynamics of a relationship with God. How does that set u…

We’ve been exploring a core passage from 1 Peter 2:9 throughout this series. In this final week, the focus was on why worship is imperative to our spiritual journey. The priests in the Old Testament knew what it meant to worship. Since, as believers, we are declared to be a part of that same priesthood, we can take away three important things to im…

As a follower of Jesus, it means that you have a ministry. God has given you a unique life that only you can live. What do you care about? What does ministry look like for you? There are three simple questions you can ask to find the ministry opportunities around you: who, what, and where. Who are the people God has brought to you and how can you s…

Our job as followers of Christ is to help people resolve what is causing them to feel distant from God, support them through their struggles, and remind them of what God really thinks of them. The truth is God is at work in situations even before we realize it and He never gives up on them. As part of the “royal priesthood” mentioned in 1 Peter 2:9…

We may not be facing the same persecutions as the early church that Peter is writing to in 1 Peter 4:8, but we are the living breathing representation of the church to others. We are challenged to love above all else and show hospitality to others without grumbling. In this way, we can open others' hearts to the love of Jesus.…

In relationships, there will always be something we don’t like that the other person does. What do you do in those moments? In Ephesians 4:31-32, Paul outlines two different pathways we can find ourselves on when handling these difficult moments in all types of relationships. How do we keep on a path that chooses kindness and forgiveness instead of…

The early church had a vision for what church is supposed to be: accepting and uniting. However, much like our culture, they faced a lot of differing opinions, backgrounds, and experiences. They did have something that united them in purpose, which was intentionally including others. They understood it was their job to create a picture of what it m…

The phrase “one another” is used 100 times in the New Testament. A lot of those occurrences reference “loving one another,” but other times it is used to communicate the need for unity and humility. Church is a beautiful place where we get to be with one another, but the church is not the building. Jesus living in us is the anchor that units us as …

Jesus’ way of loving people didn’t leave them behind. Just as lyrics can sound flat without music to accompany them so does the gospel. The gospel isn’t just words. The gospel is lived out in love. Love is the music that makes the gospel relational and real. Loving others was Jesus’ greatest command to us. August is our ministry launch and a reset …

One of our deeply held values is being a multi-generational church. Participating in child dedication together is one of the ways we can experience that value. We can model three things for the following generations: we put our hope in God, model the way of Jesus, and allow them to make their faith their own.…

People’s joy has dropped significantly. In fact, it’s the lowest it has been in five decades. How do we counteract this phenomenon? A life with God should be joy-filled, which doesn’t mean we won’t face difficulties, but we see evidence of His joy throughout the Old and New Testaments. If God “rejoices over us with gladness” - shouldn’t a life with…

A life with God looks very different than the two other ways we might approach a relationship with Him. The first viewpoint is “life under God,” which originates from a fearful place. The second is “life over God,” which views a relationship with Him as transactional. However, if we take a look at scripture in both the New and Old Testament we see …

When we read the Bible and understand God from its text, we often do so with a Western mindset. However, we have to remember that the Bible is an ancient text written with an ancient Near East way of thinking that is quite different. How can we relate to God in a more relational way by reading it with a renewed mindset?…

For the final week of this series, the message was based on the question: what does love ask me to do? In 1 Corinthians 13:4-13, we read everything that love does, but what if we looked at those verses in such a way that we were challenged to apply it every day in our communities? How could that impact the decisions we make for the better?…

We all have filters we use when making decisions and discerning our choices in any given situation. However, are the filters we use actually helpful when determining the best possible course of action? We make an estimated 35,000 decisions per day and out of those thousands of decisions what would it look like to change the filter and ask the quest…

This series has highlighted certain key questions that can help us when we’re faced with decisions. This week we looked at the question: Is there a tension that deserves my attention? First, we can ask if there is tension that exists by taking the time to pause and reflect. Second, we can determine if it needs attention. Finally, we should approach…

Oftentimes we feel that there is only one right choice when we make decisions. What if there was a way for you to trust in the decision that you’ve made because of the freedom you have in Christ?Casas Church tarafından oluşturuldu

We may often think that our world is the most controversial and divisive it has ever been, but if we look back to the time of Jesus’ ministry, we’ll find that their world was pulled in many different directions as well. Casas aims to be the church that follows Jesus’ lead. Jesus founded his ministry on loving others and that’s what we choose. Every…

Our mission launch last August gave us a unifying purpose. This Sunday, we looked back and celebrated what God has accomplished through each of us this ministry season. We also heard stories from all our ministry area leaders on the powerful ways they saw this mission lived out.Casas Church tarafından oluşturuldu

Technology is not bad, but the average American spends a lot of time on devices, and yet surveys indicate we’re feeling lonely. The early church has some insight that we can apply to create true and meaningful connections in our world today to combat that loneliness. In Acts 2 we see the intentional effort this diverse group of people put into crea…

How many of us sometimes struggle to celebrate moments because it doesn’t match where we’re at in life? As shown in Joshua 4, marking and recognizing the meaningful moments that come in life is important. God is doing things through you and around you. We should strive to celebrate them deliberately because our life and experiences are too importan…

The concept of “enough-ness” isn’t new. In Genesis, we read that God created a beautiful garden that was enough for His creation. However, being cautioned against eating from one tree changed the whole dynamic. As humans, we can’t help but question “why” something would be the way it is, but why wasn’t the whole garden enough? This concept is evide…
