Shepherd's Gate Church

Through the Shepherds we will focus on expressing the joy in the gift God gives us through His son Jesus. The Shepherds were the most unlikely group anyone expected for God to reveal the Savior of the world to, yet that’s exactly what He did.

Through Elizabeth we will focus on understanding that God exalts those we perceive are of low position, and yet allows them to be influencers in the bigger narrative of God’s plan for us.

Through Zechariah we will focus on how God always fulfills his promises, even when it seems impossible to us. Zachariah’s disbelief in the angel led to his inability to speak until his miracle son was born, which propelled him to bless God and acknowledge the faithfulness of God.

You are part of the team, and the team is better together. This week we’ll look at how God has created as one body with many different parts. There is creativity in all of us, so let’s get creative and give everything we can to love people and impact the world.

What does it mean to see people the way God sees them? Our imperfection balances the line of our differences: we're all messed up, we all need grace, and in that sense, we're all the same. Valuing people is not something we turn on and off like a light switch when it's comfortable for us, instead, it's lifestyle.

God is moving His church Forward. Looking ahead to the future, we will pursue God-size goals for the people in our communities and our faith community. During this very strategic new series, we will unfold what God is putting on our hearts for the new direction and Vision for our church. Together we will pray, dream, and pursue the plan God has for us beginning in 2020 and beyond.

Contentment means that we are satisfied with where we are right here and right now. It is the epitome of being fully present to find contentment with who you are, where you are and what you have. Being fully present means you aren’t worried about what else you need to do, but you are content with where you already are.

When we realize that not only has God given us grace through the work of Christ, He has made us a new creation. Maybe we can prioritize grace in our own lives so we can give grace to ourselves. When we live in the grace we’ve been given, we not only make better choices for our priorities, live our lives more open handed and less stressed, but we also are able to extend that grace to others more ea...

Pausing gives us space to make sure that we aren’t running our lives in the complete opposite direction from what God calls for us to live our lives like. Pausing allows us to keep the rest of our priorities straight so we don’t miss out on the ultimate rest our God has for us in heaven.

Often we have filled our lives with so many acquaintance level relationships that it actually crowds out genuine connection. Yet God has a priority for us to be connected. Let us help you, prioritize you as you seek the real connections and togetherness that you truly need.

God prioritizes you above it all, so maybe it’s time for you to actually prioritize yourself. Prioritize what’s best for you. Prioritize what’s truly good for you. Prioritize what you need rather than what the world wants out of you. Priorities matter because you matter, and if God is willing to prioritize you, it’s time for you to prioritize you.

Step Out & Serve Celebration | Pastor Tim Bollinger | September 1, 2019 by Shepherd's Gate Church

Prayer Launch from Step Out and Serve Aug 25, 2019

How often do we remember that in a corrupt and broken world, we carry something that can destroy the darkness? We have an opportunity to step out into the world and carry a message of light. We have an opportunity to show our city that no matter their story, no matter their past, rejection has fallen, and instead they stand in acceptance; that they’re loved, valued and pursued by God and His churc...

In our day-to-day pace of life, it can be easy for comfort to become our focus. At the table in our mind, often we place the wrong things nearer to us: our comfort, our possessions, our successes, our ego and our pride. We experience freedom when we have the courage to look outsideof ourselves, toward a God who exalts the humble.

Our fears can sometimes seem logical, and sometimes they are irrational. This week, we remember that God is able, and that when we set our eyes on Him and refuse to look away, everything changes. We name the wind and the waves that crash around us, but we need to focus and fill our minds, hearts, and mouths with praise for the One who brings us through the storm – Jesus.

Miracles can seem like a distant past, but what if we knew that miracles still happen every day all around us? What if our hearts were awakened with joy and wonder, and our eyes were opened to see that Jesus is still at work today, in your life, and in every life around us? Through Him, we not only hope for the miracle, we believe for the unbelievable.

Peter’s decisiveness puts us in awe of how bold and sure he was of his faith and trust in Christ. Yet Peter was the same one who denied even knowing Jesus three times when Jesus was being persecuted. Just as Peter denied Jesus three times, Jesus offers Peter forgiveness and love three times as he calls out Peter’s faith and then calls him to carry out the calling before him to feed the lambs and s...
