Gateway Church Austin

In Acts 3:6, Peter looks at a man begging for money and says, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” What happens next is more than a miracle, it is a powerful reminder that what we think we need is not always what we actually need.So often we ask God for provision, for comfort, for answers that make life easier. But God sees deeper. He knows the places we are stuck, the areas where we need healing, freedom, and transformation. The man asked for money, but God gave him something greater, a new life, restored strength, and a reason to stand.This message challenges us to rethink what we are asking God for. Are we settling for temporary solutions when God wants to bring lasting change? Are we focused on what is in our hands, or what God has already placed within us?Discover how there is a power greater than money, a power that changes lives, restores hope, and moves through ordinary people who are willing to trust in the name of Jesus.

Are you tired of "boring" faith? In Week 2 of our series "Acts: The Invitation," Eric Bryant explores the powerful arrival of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Discover how the Spirit empowers ordinary people for an extraordinary mission and why surrendering to God is the key to unlocking true spiritual power. Whether you are just starting your journey or looking to go deeper, learn how God uses our lives to catalyze a movement for good.

Have you ever felt stuck like you’re ready to move forward but God keeps telling you to wait?In Acts 1, the disciples had the mission, the calling, and the urgency but Jesus told them to stay. To wait. Not to rush ahead, not to take control but to trust that something greater was coming.This message is for anyone in a waiting season. If you’ve been wondering why God hasn’t opened the door yet, why the answer hasn’t come, or why things feel delayed there’s purpose in it.God doesn’t make you wait to hold you back.He makes you wait to prepare you.Before the power came, there was a promise.Before the movement, there was a moment of surrender.Before the wind of God moved they waited.

Sometimes life feels like we’re living in the in-between; between questions and answers, struggle and hope.Easter is the celebration that reminds us hope is alive. Jesus rose from the grave, bringing new life and a fresh start for anyone who believes.Whether church has always been part of your story or you’re just beginning to explore faith, you’re invited to Easter at Gateway. Come experience powerful worship, a great environment for your kids, and a message that shows how the hope of the resurrection still changes lives today.

Have you ever felt alone—even when people were around you?In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus experienced deep sorrow, anxiety, and loneliness. Yet in that moment, He showed us the power of honest prayer and complete trust in God.This week we’ll discover how Jesus meets us in our own moments of isolation and shows us how honest prayer and trust can carry us through the in-between.

What would you do if you were sitting at the table with Jesus, and He knew you would fail Him?At the Last Supper, a betrayer and a denier shared the same meal with the Savior. Both were close to Jesus, but their responses led them down very different paths.This week we’ll look at the stories of Judas and Peter and discover how the difference between remorse and repentance can change everything.

Have you ever felt the pressure of living for people’s approval? As Jesus entered Jerusalem, the crowds celebrated Him as King. But the praise wouldn’t last.This week we’ll look at how Jesus stayed rooted in His mission even when the crowd turned against Him, and what it means to find our identity in God rather than in applause.

Marriage is a picture of the mystery of Christ's love for the Church. The brokenness from our families of origin can affect how we think about and engage in Marriage. God’s good and redemptive plan is for marriages to represent Him and His love to the world. Marriage can be beautiful, hard, refining, and full of joy.

Singleness is not a waiting room for marriage, it’s a powerful and purposeful season all its own. Singleness is a gift! The brokenness from our families of origin can affect how we think about singleness. God’s good and redemptive plan is for us to live connected into the family he is forming - The church.1 Corinthians 7:8-9 & 32-35

The way we show up in relationships is shaped by how we are raised and the relationships that formed us. When sin entered the world, brokenness affected families, and ever since, that has changed how we engage with others in relationships. God’s redemption provides a way out of the brokenness life brings.We are shaped by our families, and that affects how we view relationships.(affected by Sin and brokenness or God’s design and redemption lived out in our families)Genesis 3 & 4, 1 Corinthians 6:12-20

How are we called to Go and spread the Kingdom of God in the Earth?

All we have belongs to God, so we intentionally steward it all as an act of service to God and to others.Key Scriptures:John 13:34-35Acts 2:44-45

Key Idea:  We are called to grow from belief in Jesus to a mindset of intentional progress in making apprenticeship to Jesus (becoming like him) a way of life.Goal - Christlikeness in every aspect of our lives

Following Jesus is less prescriptive and more descriptive.  We are given a general framework by the early disciples of how to live out the teachings of Jesus and follow his way.  They are simple, but not easy, they are repeatable but grow more difficult, they allow anyone who believes to choose to follow, and all who remain faithful will grow stronger over time.  We are like a tree planted by His waters, we grow strong in Him, and we become an immovable force in God’s kingdom.We will walk the entire church through the same process we walked our staff and some leaders through when it comes to what we are called to be as disciples of Jesus.  We’ll read through Matthew 28 and Acts 2 each week and break down each part of the framework.

What do you need to leave behind in order to move forward with God? God has big plans for your future if you align yourself with His will for your life.

Colossians 3:16Songs and messages we repeat are actively shaping our beliefs and lives—for better or worse. Discover why repetition builds memory and how the truth, negativity, or hope we put on repeat becomes the soundtrack we live by. Learn to pay attention to the lyrics filling your mind, because what we take in eventually comes out in how we think, feel, and respond to the world. Find out why hymns and truth-filled songs aren't just nostalgic—they're spiritual anchors that help us rehearse what's real when life gets noisy. Join us as we explore the power of keeping truth on loop, so that when storms come, you'll find yourself humming hope instead of fear.

Psalm 40:3Bring your real, unfiltered emotions to God—not just the pretty ones. Discover how the Psalms teach us to get brutally honest with God about our pain, disappointments, and doubts, because authentic worship starts with authenticity, not perfection. Learn the powerful pattern of honesty-then-hope that runs through Scripture: starting with "How long, Lord?" and ending with "Yet I will praise You." You can't sing a new song if you keep replaying old pain—join us as we explore how shifting your focus from fear to faith changes everything, not by ignoring your circumstances, but by remembering that God is still good, still present, and still writing your story.

Psalm 46:10We often search for God in the quiet moments when He feels distant. This week, we'll discuss how to turn down life's noise and discover that silence isn't God's absence—it's His invitation to something deeper. We'll explore how the most authentic worship happens not in performance, but in honest, raw connection with God's Spirit. Discover how your greatest songs of faith are often born in seasons of struggle, when you choose to trust that God is still writing something beautiful in you, even when you can't see or feel it. Join us as we learn to hear God's whisper above the chaos and find hope that remains alive in every season.

1 Timothy 6:11-19Our finances reveal where our hearts truly are, and God calls us to trust Him by giving generously. What does my giving say about where my heart is?  What role does fear play in being generous financially?
