You are invited to join us as we launch into the fall with a special Sunday for the whole family. Here are a few of things going on:
Hear about the vision for our church in an inspiring word from Pastor Matt.
Meet our Life Group leaders and plan to join a group this fall.
Stay for lunch as we enjoy the “Kick-Off Casserole Cook-Off”. Test your cooking chops by bringing a casserole of any kind or just test you tasting skills as we vote for the best one.
Bring a friend to celebrate another exciting ministry year at Gateway church.
Matthew 6:12 Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
As issues arise in our Christian walk we are called to regular patterns of confession, repentance, and receiving forgiveness. These moments provide us with fresh opportunities to embrace the grace and love of Jesus as we take hold of the forgiveness and cleansing He already purchased at Calvary. In moments of repentance we also allow our minds to be renewed and for our thinking to align with His thinking. Lies are overcome with truth, hurts are healed and unhealthy patterns are replaced with redeemed thinking.
James 5:16 Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Romans 12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Pray along with us this week. Each day a prayer devotional will be posted here to assist you in your times of prayer. For practical tips on fasting read this post. Join us today at Gateway for prayer meetings at noon and 7pm.
Matthew 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.
God chooses to reveal Himself to us as our Father. He is a good dad, the best in fact. We are encouraged to bring our needs and desires to Him. He, rather than our pay checks, jobs, or talents, is our ultimate source of provision. As we pray today we pray with confidence that He is able and willing to provide for our needs as individuals and as a church family. The things that He is calling us to accomplish are beyond our natural ability and resources; thankfully we are filled with joyful expectation that He will provide all that we need with perfect wisdom.
Luke 10:2 He said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
Philippians 4:19 My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Matt 7:11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
