Lifegate Church Podcast

The spiritual practice of celebration might not be one of the first practices that comes to our minds when we think about becoming more like Jesus for the good of others, but maybe it should be!

Though we have more ways to connect with others than ever before, our world is increasingly becoming our more relationally broken. People are experiencing more loneliness, more conflict and less satisfaction in their relationships. This series will help us recover a Biblical view of community and inspire us to do the work to cultivate meaningful relationships all around us.

In the constant noise of platforms and promotions, how can followers of Jesus say more without saying as much?

When it comes to conflict, in the heat of the moment we often say things we later regret. Let’s discover some practical insights from Scripture that will help us choose the words of the wise when the heat is on.

Pastor Shireen Eldridge continues our Just Sayin’ series as we celebrate Mother's Day and learn how our words have weight, especially in the home. When we mess up, as all of us do, quickly seeking forgiveness from those we've hurt with our words is an often overlooked key for healing relationships. She teaches us the best way to make sure our words are life-giving is to stay close to Jesus and all...

JUST SAYIN’ has become the language ‘hall pass’ that allows us to say whatever we want, however we want, to whomever we want. However, Scripture reveals the power of words and how to produce life with our language.

Relationships are complicated, and yet we all still need them and want them. Our desire for relationship is far more than a cry for popularity or social status, but it reveals a deep imprint in the human heart for living in the presence of others and even experiencing presence of God.

When Jesus promised to fill His church with His Spirit, it sounded wonderful, but over time things have gotten weird or wild in some churches that passionately welcome the Holy Spirit. In this message, we’ll discover the type of church Jesus dreamed of that was filled with and led by His Spirit for the good of the world.

When it comes to Easter, you may be asking: “The story made an impact on our world, but does it make any difference for my life?” We want to help you see what Jesus’ biggest miracle means for your everyday life, what his best day means for your hardest days, and what His highest moment means for your lowest moments.

God’s grace is freely offered to us all, but ironically this gift can be hard to receive. When we resist or twist grace, we miss its true life-changing impact in our lives. This message will help us receive the gift of God’s grace so we can be set free.

When Elisha received the mantle of his mentor, Elijah, a new era of the double blessing began with Better, More and Greater for the people of God. The passing of Lifegate’s mantle of Lead Pastor is God’s plan to also usher in the double blessing of Better, More and Greater for God’s glory and for the transformation, comfort, encouragement and Life of our people.

Check out this special service as we honored and celebrated Pastor Les and Kris for 27 years of faithful service as the leaders of Lifegate Church.

Les and Kris have led at Lifegate for over 27 Years! In this video we honor them for leading us well, and look back at some memorable moments during their time of leadership.

We often assume the path to our best future will be filled with ease and affirmation. And when it’s not, we often lose heart. But, Jesus shows us how to see the challenges along the way as opportunities rather than obstacles.

When you put “blessing" and "succession” together, it may seem like an oxymoron. Unfortunately successions in life, whether in business, government and even the church, can mean power struggle, control, hurt feelings, and broken relationships. It may surprise you to learn succession is actually God’s idea and His plan for things to get better and better. In this first of 4 talks, you’ll discover G...

In this season of revival in our world, shouldn’t we just stop everything and have constant worship services? God has called us to a "both and” of Formation (truth expressed in practices) and Fire (welcoming God’s “thin space” presence). In this last week of Money Talks, we are going to watch a debate between Tithing and Mammon as they argue for your allegiance. And then, provide an opportunity to...

Pastors Micah and Les discuss the recent outpouring experienced at Asbury University and answer many common questions surrounding the topic of spiritual revival. 

In this series we are learning that money actually talks, and has a message which is animated by one of two spirits: the spirit of Mammon or the Spirit of God. Either one of these voices will powerfully influence us depending on which we are drawn to. Mammon’s message? You will only be happy and at peace when you have enough money. God’s message? You can experience contentment no matter how much o...

Money tells us that cash is king. If we have cash, we have the power that will gives us the freedom we all want. But Jesus tells us, while money is a form of power, it’s not the kind of power we need to seek.  

The covenant of God's everlasting love and faithfulness to Abraham was for him and his family and then through them to the entire world. God wants everyone to experience this same covenant promise! He’s chosen His people and our willingness to mirror and mimic (imitate) His faithfulness as His means of making the world right again; starting with one relationship, marriage, family, church at a time...

A lot of us believe God is faithful to others, but we have a hard time believing that God is faithful to me!
