Paul wrote letters to churches to encourage and help in their struggles. This week we read through Philippians 2:1-4 and explored the ways a church is like a family and how we can put the ideas Paul shares into practice. When we find ourselves existing in different types of tension within our families, how can we refocus our energy on valuing other…

We define family as the people in your life that you care about. This could be the family you were born into or the family you created. Anytime we let people into our lives, things can be complicated. This week, we read Proverbs 14:26 and what it can tell us about living in the unconditional love of God and learning how to put the weight down that …

It’s becoming more difficult for people to find God these days. Statistics show us that more and more people declare that they have no affiliation with any beliefs. We want to be a different expression of what a church should be. Our mission is to love people into the acceptance and freedom of Jesus Christ. Still, beyond that - Jesus is our way and…

This week concludes our series Difference Makers with an opportunity to partner and participate with others in some area of the church. That could range from praying for different ministries or even taking a step to get involved volunteering or joining a small group. We seek to be a great difference-making church and need your participation to help…

If we want to make a difference in people’s lives - we should probably think about how we go about it. To make a difference in the lives of others you have to show up differently than they are expecting. If our goal is to follow Jesus and be more like Him, we should also follow how He treated those around Him. When we see Jesus’ actions in John 4, …

One of our core values is being a multi-generational church. This means we find ways to see and honor all generations. It also means reaching back to the younger generations - part of that is investing support into and sharing solidarity with parents of that next generation. You can always do this by sharing your personal experiences, pointing othe…

We don’t just attend church - we are the church. Joining a group is a powerful way to live that out. There is a whole group of people who need to know your story because it will benefit their journey. You also need to know their story because it will do transformational things in your life too. This give-and-take of life experiences brings us close…

In the final week of this series, we read through Romans 12:9-19 as we focused on actions. There are three things that we can take from Romans. 1) Don’t start with the action - start with the person. 2) Don’t let the actions of someone else determine your behavior. 3) Don’t play God. Do all things with sincere love and change your focus so you don’…

This series highlights how we can hold our words, actions, and reactions in a way that best reflects who we want to be. In week two, we focused on reactions and how we cultivate those responses because our reactions are formed by the things we surround ourselves with daily. If we want to change how we react we need to ask what we are filling oursel…

How can we maintain control of our words, actions, and reactions amidst the unpredictable situations that happen in life? We want to talk about these three specific areas and how we can regain or maintain control of them while being honest about who we desire to be.By Casas Church

On this Vision Sunday, we learned more about who Casas is, how you're a significant part of who we are, and where we're going as a community together as we step further into our mission of acceptance, love, and freedom in Christ.By Casas Church

In this last week of Parables, we looked at Matthew 18:21 and the question put to Jesus is how many times we should forgive? When we feel like we’ve been wronged there are two options in front of us: the path of bitterness and the path of forgiveness. We hope to choose the path of forgiveness as it reflects the heart of God. It reflects it for us a…

In this fourth week of our Parables series, we read through the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard from Matthew 20:1-16. All the workers get paid the same no matter how long they’ve worked. Jesus uses this illustration to show that our illusions of fairness can trap us into comparison and make us lose trust in God. If we focus on fairness we mi…

We celebrated the ministry year looking to Jesus as true north as we move forward in the acceptance, love, and freedom of Him together! We also rejoiced with 40 people who were baptized. Thank you for joining us as we thank God for working through us and with us to keep sharing our mission.By Casas Church

Parables are stories that paint a picture that becomes a mirror that becomes a window through which we can look and have a deeper understanding of who God is. This week we looked at a parable from Luke 18:9-14 with a tax collector and a Pharisee. In learning more about this story, we were challenged to be honest to who we are, where we are, as we a…

In this second week of our Parables series, we dove into the story of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10. We learned that in parables we’re supposed to see ourselves in the story and through that then see the heart of God. Sometimes religion gets to a space where it protects its own sense of righteousness rather than loving people. Understanding parab…

Is the story you’re telling with your life bigger than just you? We began our Parables series looking at Luke 12:16 - 21 and how it captures the idea that we should be less self-focused and more outwardly focused. We can connect to the larger picture if we change our mindset and begin from a place of gratefulness. We were challenged to think about …

This series will look at some common steps we take in our Christian walk and what they mean within the context of following Jesus.

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?By Casas Church

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? This new series looks at the simple ways to follow Christ that will be helpful when faced with big questions about what faith means and how we …

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…

By Casas Church

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 …

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…
