Hatred & Jealousy | Tim Bollinger by Shepherd's Gate Church

Planning for the new year usually includes a list of goals reached and goals lost for the current year and an ambitious list of resolutions and goals for the new year. What's the list look like for you? What's it look like for Shepherd's Gate? What is God's resolution for us in 2025? You may be surprised to learn how simple is really is.

You're invited to experience Christmas at Shepherd's Gate! This year, we're focusing on angels, specifically the angel Gabriel, and what we can learn from his story. Everyone is welcome to join us as we celebrate Christmas together. If you're seeking a fresh perspective on Christmas and your own faith journey, this is the moment—come share it with us!

John The Baptist | Ben Marsh by Shepherd's Gate Church

Simeon and Anna may appear briefly in the Christmas story, but for them, it was the fulfillment of a lifetime of waiting. They waited patiently and held onto a promise that they would see the Savior, Jesus, with their own eyes before they died. Discover how prophecy is still alive today and how it plays a part in our lives.

The Christmas Story is full of miracles that seem almost magical in hindsight. Let's take a closer look at Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist—two women through whom God did the impossible. See how the same God who worked in their lives still does the impossible today, bringing amazing things to us as well.

There are few topics more personal to us than our identity. How do we define ourselves? Does anyone have the right to tell us who we are? In Biblical times, names had important meanings and your name was often part of your identity. We may think there are things about us that will never change...but with God it is possible, even if He must give us a new name!

It's difficult to talk about the horrible ways people sometimes treat each other. However, it's important to consider how God wants us to deal with injustice. Join us as we see what God says about these difficult issues.

Why do we let fractured relationships linger so long? Is it pride or stubborness? Fear? Plain old laziness? God teaches us the power of forgiveness to heal broken relationships in the story of Jacob and his brother Esau. But it's ultimately just pointing to the way God forgives us all.

Alone & Afraid | Tim Bollinger by Shepherd's Gate Church

Fear can be crippling, especially when facing unresolved issues within family and relationships. Have you ever lived with fear? How can you face that fear and move forward? Today we will learn how God desires to bring peace to our lives even when facing our deepest fears!

Is it possible to reconcile with those who are close to us that betray and hurt us? Should we even try? Discover how God's power in our lives leads to reconcilation and restoration.

We like to think of ourselves as basically good people, right? But how often do we manipulate situations to get what we want in our family, our business or our relationships? It might be uncomfortable to talk about, but let's face it, looking out for #1 is all too common. How do we avoid this and go a different way?

One of the most frustrating issues in life is living with a disfunctional family. And let's face it, no family is perfect! So how do we deal with disfunction in our family God's way? Join us as we find out through the story of Jacob and his family in Genesis.

Have you ever been tempted to bend your integrity to get something you really desire? How did it turn out? Today we look at the deceitful feud between two brothers and the difference between words and actions.

We all know parents worry about their kids. Will they avoid our mistakes? Will they remember our advice? Can we trust God to take care of our future family? Today we'll take a look at the faithfulness of God from one generation to the next and what that means for our lives today.

There may be lots of reasons to say a prayer, but one of the most common is to ask God for help with a problem, especially one we can't fix ourselves. But why is it that prayer is often the last thing we think of to do? Join us this week and learn how to develop the critical habit of prayer in your life!

Good Enough To Move On. Have you ever heard this accronym? It can be helpful in some situations, but what about the story of our life? Are we content to settle for good enough in our relationships, families, or work? What about our faith? The story of Nehemiah in the Bible focuses on a man who couldn't settle for good enough, and found that God had way more in store for his life (and our&apos...

Your life might be hard, but have you ever literally been shipwrecked? The apostle Paul in the Bible was. And that was just the tip of the iceberg (haha)! So when he writes about the trials and hardships of life, he's writing what he knows. His insights speak to us about the detours in our own lives and God's amazing way of transforming them into opportunities.
