Growing Pains - Week Four | May 3, 2026 | Ryan Kramer

Judges - Week Two/May 31, 2026/Ryan Kramer

When we experience significant failure, our natural response is to protect ourselves by living defensively and avoiding risk. The story of Gideon shows us how failure can cause us to lose our anchor and retreat. God calls Gideon a mighty warrior even as he finds him in hiding, reminding us that one failure doesn't define our identity or capabilities. The desire for certainty before taking action is understandable, but if we always wait for guarantees, we rarely do what we need to do. Moving forward requires choosing trust over certainty and remembering that we were created to live fully, not just in survival mode.

Judges - Week One/May 24, 2026/Glenn Barteau

In Judges, we see gifted, but flawed leaders living through cycles of compromise, rescue, and rebellion. When Israel drifts away from God, we witness the consequences of only using strength and influence without tempering it with surrender and integrity. Even though it seems like chaos, God continues to work through imperfect people. As we look at Judges, we will see why character matters more than giftedness.

Celebration Sunday/May 17, 2026/Glenn Barteau

Join us as we celebrate all the wonderful things God has done through each one of you! You make Casas a different kind of church for everyone to experience the love and acceptance of Jesus Christ. We’ll also be honoring our graduating senior class, hosting child dedications, and celebrating baptisms!

The Courage To Be Who You Want To Be/May 10, 2026/Ryan Kramer

We all go through seasons that shape us. Today, we looked at the life of Joseph and explored how the moments we wouldn’t choose can still become part of who we’re becoming and who we will be on the other side of our experiences.

Growing Pains - Week Four | May 3, 2026 | Ryan Kramer

Our lives can feel busy all the time. Different seasons bring various challenges, and even though God wants to grow us in certain ways, how do we make room for it? The story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 brings light to the struggle we face. When everything feels equally important, we can follow a four-step process to creating room: take inventory of commitments, identify where God is working, create a hierarchy of priorities, and intentionally make room for what matters most.
