Gateway Fellowship

Here are some books that shaped my faith in Christ and why I find them helpful.

In a disposable world where we discard and replace, the gospel brings us a Father who is willing to put in the work to restore us because of our value. So what's the measure of your worth? The cross. You are worth the blood of Jesus.

Tim had the honor of baptizing Jay last night.

Stan had the honor of baptizing Garrett Biggs last night.

Sometimes anger is the first response when hope is rebooting to come back online. This is about 2 Kings chapter 4.

"God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom." (1 Corinthians 1:21)

When we pray God does something he wouldn't have done if we hadn't prayed. In Amos 7 we see that the prophet changed God's mind. What do we need to get started? 1. A time 2. A place 3. Words We ended the talk with a great story of an unlikely answer to prayer.

There's something so special about the fact that God has chosen to pour out His Spirit upon his people, and loves to give more of Himself when we ask (Luke 11). That was the agenda tonight.

Stop Look Listen Write

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

My friend Wayne once told me that most of us live our whole Christian life in the wilderness after we're rescued out of Egypt. We don't cross over the Jordan and enter in to the promised land. This sermon is about crossing over and entering in.

Is faith certainty or is it more like walking a path of surrender in response to the call of the beckoning mystery encoded into life itself?

The kingdom of death has no rightful claim on the kingdom of life. Yet much of the time we live from the wrong story - the facts of our life instead of the Truth.

Jesus said he's the vine and we're the branches and that apart from him we can do nothing, but if we remain in him we will bear much fruit. That's in John 15

I am chosen I am blessed I am broken I am given

We gotta fight the real fight and not get fooled.

We are to love and to be loved. We need love, desperately. This is not a flaw. This is God's design. Receiving healthy love gives healthy identity. Not receiving healthy love damages identity, creating so many issues that drive us in life.

What's the best part of Easter Sunday? We get Him back.

Jay covered a wide range of topics in this relaxed Wednesday evening chat.

When we say "Christ died to save sinners," what do we mean? What are we saved for? What are we saved from? How does his death save us? This message is mostly about God's love.
