Gateway Fellowship

Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. (Phil 1:1-2 NLT)

John has been asking me for the opportunity to come sit down and tell his story...

"What is this, a Jesus for ants!?"

When we finally grasp grace...that's when the transformation comes.

God actually loves me, deeply, more than I ever dared hope. I’m completely forgiven because of Jesus’ cross. God is with me and he’s never leaving. God is for me and not against me. I’m under grace, not law, so I can relax and admit the truth about myself — no matter how scary or shameful —  without fear of rejection. God loves to hear what’s on my mind and wants to chat with me about what’s on his.

You can go to Denny's. Wear a hat. Whatever you want. But seriously, this chat is about the wonder of life and the importance of staying awake, aware, and grateful to God for daily existence. We also tell a crazy shipwreck story in this one. Scriptures: Romans 1:21, Deuteronomy 8, Proverbs 30:7-9, Matthew 6:11, Hosea 13:6

Eggs, small dogs, monkeys, a heart attack, jumping out of planes, gross food, miracles, and other topics.

Every human seeks meaning and purpose.

Our source isn't visible, from below. Our Source is invisible, from above. The temptation is to return to slavery for security, instead of staying with freedom which involves so much trusting God with the unknown.

Matthew 6:9-13 Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your name.Your kingdom come,your will be done,    on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread,and forgive us our debts,    as we also have forgiven our debtors.And lead us not into temptation,    but deliver us from evil."

Philippians 1:7 sparked this thought.

Sunday morning with our dear friend and evangelist, Joel.

Saturday evening with Joel, who is a dear evangelist.

Rusty and Linda unpack insights from Jesus' little brother.

What we think we know keeps us from learning what we need to know. This chat is about the man born blind in John chapter 9.

In John chapter 3 Nicodemus told Jesus that the evidence supports that He's really from God. Jesus, instead of congratulating Nick on his astute observation, he tells him, "You must be born again." Only God reveals God.

1. Is it good because God commands it? OR 2. Does God command it because it's good?

Since its Pentecost, lets have a conversation is about being filled with the Holy Spirit.

What would you expect my answer to be? Did my answer surprise you? Does your experience confirm this, or do you have a better idea?
