Gateway Update -November 13

20150915 Fall 2015 Email

From the moment that Jesus ascended to heaven the church has been in the last days; awaiting the return of Jesus. In our day there is a sense among believers around the globe that we are in the last of the last days. What are we to do? The author of Hebrews gives us instruction in Hebrews 10:24–25:

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.  
In these days we are called to gather, called to live in real relationship, called to encourage and to bless. This is one of the primary reasons we gather as a church Sundays, it’s why we offer Life Groups, discipleship and other opportunities for connection. I want to encourage you to make an investment in your faith and in the faith of your brothers and sisters in Christ, let’s commit to do church with the church. Let’s anticipate the return of Jesus together.
See you Sunday at 10am.

You Are a Walking Miracle!

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
