The Gate Community Church Podcast

In this sermon our special Guest Vijesh Sungkur will share with us a powerful message about the body of Christ returning to God's sovereignty in our daily lives as well as the big "C" church as a whole and what it looks like to wait upon the Lord without trying to make things look like what we may want them to. 

In Hebrews 11.13-16, as in the letter as a whole, believers are challenged to remember the inherent 'foreigner and nomad' nature of true Christianity—a challenge to live out a faith that effects the whole of one's life. Sermon by Aaron Weaver.

Because we are 'in Christ' warfare looks like standing in the authority of Christ. The battle over satan was won at the cross. So we are not battling with satan we are simply standing in the finished work of what Christ has accomplished and resisting him.

We do things through Christ by accepting the outcomes of what we commit to Him, living in this brings contentment. To be strengthened in this moment is to know that Christ is in the next moment. To be strengthened is to first embrace our weakness. A message by Steve Fry. 

God is able to bring Himself into your mind as often and as deep as you desire Him. It is not up to your efforts to keep God in your thoughts… It is only up to your desire. In this message Steve Fry unpacks the faith of Enoch, holiness, and faith.   

Join us as we look at what we can learn about the life of faith from the story of Joseph. Sermon by Trent Meng.

What we do when we're together can form reflexes into our lifestyle that model the kingdom in society. In this message Adam Narciso highlights 18 habits that formed early church and inspired her dynamic growth in the Roman world.

To sow to the Spirit is to release yourself from the pressure of achieving outcomes. Releasing yourself from the pressure of getting answers or trying to change your heart yourself. In the midst of hard emotions you can sow to the Spirit by sowing scripture into your emotions. It's not about you, it's just a life surrendered to the Spirit. A sermon by Steve Fry. 

The heart of a martyr is simply one who wants Jesus in every part of their life and wants to reflect His beauty. In this sermon, Steve Fry will unpack thoughts about the tribulation as it pertains to believers and living a life of true prayer and worship. 

Before the first seal is broken and the end-time clock is set in motion, followers of Jesus will be found in every tribe, nation and tongue. When Christ is about to break the first seal, a sound of worship will come forth in the earth unparalleled in human history! Don't let the spirit of the age suffocate your faith! Worldwide worship is a sign that Christ is about to open the scroll! A sermon by...

Unity is the intimacy of knowing and being known for exactly who we are in order to simply delight in each other and value what we can become together. We develop love by entering the way The Spirit binds us together. Unity is love expressed in fellowship: Being in the scriptures together, practicing hospitality toward each other,  praying together, having a common mission. A sermon by Steve Fry. 

This Psalm is a recalibrating reminder of what the God-honoring life looks life, and is a call to do violence against the moral ills that would try to influence our lives. Sermon by Aaron Weaver.

A deep dive into Psalm 51, and one of the lowest moments in the life of King David. Sermon by Trent Meng.

How do we manage everything and have anything left over for our families, friends, job? If any biblical character was acquainted with being overwhelmed, it's David. In fact, a great many of David's Psalms are his prayers dealing with how overwhelmed he is and reminding himself of God's goodness, wisdom, and power. God knows him inside and out, He surrounds him and has His hand on David. This is Da...

Because we have lost sight of the truth that our identity in Christ means our identity as members of His Body, we haven't had the sufficient desire for unity. If we rightly understand our faith, we will come into unity. Excellence should be based in our mutual desire to help each other thrive and flourish and our gifts. A sermon by Steve Fry. 

When the book of Hebrews talks about Christ making intercession for us, it is not just about Christ praying for us. It is about Christ extending the power of his blood to us. One of the reasons we stand NOT condemned, is so that we can know the piercing love of conviction of sin without becoming anxious that we have lost the favor of God. A sermon by Steve Fry. 

Christine Sexton shares her testimony of walking through fear, anxiety, and mental torment. In a season where the enemy felt so big, God was at work in the details. Psalm 66 is full of hope - reminding us of how God refines us and brings us out into the place of abundance. 

Jesus says, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Jesus' promise stands that he has overcome the world, but in the meantime, we live in difficult, sometimes very painful times of suffering. Amy Phillips takes us through 6 steps to hold onto when we are "in the midst" of difficulties. 

A side by side reading of psalms 22 and 23 yields both startling incongruence and astounding celebrations. Herein the Shepherd's heart for his sheep, in the great variety of circumstances they might experience, is made sweetly and powerfully known. Sermon by Aaron Weaver.

There are great joys in conflicts because it is how we discover God as our Rock, our Refuge and our Shield! If we want to be found faithful we need to be ready for pressures that would tempt us to be faithless. If we want to know the power of God our Rock and the great relief of God our Refuge, then we need to embrace the only ways we can ever know these blessings of God: the times of warfare. A s...

Keys are important. Without the right key we can end up locked our or behind the wrong door. Revelation 7:17 provides a key to understanding the tone and tenor of the book as a whole, an understanding that takes into the Lamb of God's shepherding heart. Sermon by Aaron Weaver.

Looking at some of the end times language of Revelation, Ryan Hall takes us through practices that we can incorporate in our spiritual formation that will result in lives prepared for the coming of Jesus. 

Intimacy with God is ultimately loving one another. Love is the ultimate proof that we have been in God's presence. To lose our 'first love' simply means to withdraw our love from Jesus by not loving each other. Love is not something that we generate; nor a love we emulate ; but rather a love we enter. A sermon by Steve Fry.
