You Are a Walking Miracle!

20150915 Fall 2015 Email

Hi Gateway Family,

In Luke 8 Jesus tells His disciples the parable of the sower. In the parable He talks about the word being planted in our lives and the things that can rob us of the fruitfulness that the word brings. The devil, immaturity, and the cares and riches of life can stand in the way of us fully realizing the benefit of God’s word to us.

Last Sunday I shared a simple word on miracles. Miracles are for the church today. Miracles are received by faith. Your salvation was a miracle; if you have faith for that than you have faith to see miracles too. The Lord wants that word to bear fruit in your life! Be aware that there are things that will cause you to doubt or forget God’s word. Claim God’s promises for your life today and stand in faith on the life changing word of God.

I’m looking forward to seeing you this Sunday as we celebrate a baby dedication and dig into the topic of speaking in tongues as part of our sermon series on the supernatural. See you at 10am.

Blessings and Love,

Pastor Matt

Happy Thanksgiving

20150915 Fall 2015 Email

Hi Gateway Family,

1 Thessalonians 5:18 reminds us of a simple yet life changing practice: “give thanks in all circumstances.” Thanksgiving is not something exclusively reserved for times of blessings and abundance. Even in moments of difficulty and struggle thanks is appropriate and fitting on the lips of a believer. Thanks has a way of redirecting our thoughts and eyes upwards to a God who is always faithful and always at work. I am thankful for a holiday set aside for thanksgiving but let’s make thankfulness a common part of our everyday vocabulary.

I am looking forward to seeing you this Sunday. Take a moment and invite someone along with you to church as we continue the ‘More Than the Eye Can See’ sermon series on the supernatural. This weekend we are going to look at one of the most incredible miracles that has ever taken place.

Blessings and Love,

Pastor Matt

Dominican House Build

In just a few weeks time a team is heading out from Gateway to bring hope to the Dominican Republic. Through Servant’s Heart Ministries the team will experience the various ministries including maternal health programs, school lunch programs and more. They will also work hard to assist in building a home for a family in need. You may not be able to go physically but we can partner in prayer as the team prepares physically and spiritually. Stay tuned here and at church on Sundays for updates and reports. Here are a few pictures of the home that will rebuilt. What an incredible opportunity to demonstrate God’s love in action.
