The Gathering Church Podcast

We live in a fast moving world full of opinions, and it can be easy to let our opinion of any one thing take over in a moment. But we as Believers are not called to live according to our opinion; we are called to live according to God’s opinion. He is the King of Mercy, and wants to be known first and foremost as merciful. We as His ambassadors are called to carry that mercy and extend it to one a...

In part three of this message on living in Kingdom Finances, Pastor Gene Wolfenbarger talks about the blessings that come from sowing a seed into the Kingdom of God. There are multiple times throughout the Bible where a man if faithful to give to God in the midst of a season of famine, and every time God’s people reap abundance! There is a time to sow the seed and a time to reap the harvest. God l...

In order to live a life of Kingdom Finances, it is crucial to understand God’s Kingdom Principles. As Pastor Gene continues Part two of Kingdom Finances, he shows us that there are Kingdom Principles that shape our provision. While God is a God of provision, that comes with conditions we as believers are called to walk in. We often assume that because of God’s promises He will always provide, but...

Do you want to learn to be persistent in prayer? In this new teaching, Pastor Gene Wolfenabrger shows us the power of learning to e in prayer. It can be easy to believe in the power of prayer, but wuit believing in our own prayers when they are not answered. When we pray, things begin to move. We know that when we turn to Jesus in ALL seasons of life, and choose to press in to His promises, we are...

Fasting is a short season, but has eternal benefits! As we continue to fast and pray in this season, Pastor Gene Wolfenbarger teaches on Isaiah 58 and the rewards that come with Biblical fasting. You cannot separate Biblical fasting from our moral responsibility to fast for others. As he reads through Isaiah 58, Pastor Gene shows us where God clearly defines what is and is not a true fast. We are...

It is clear that in this season, the Lord has called us to prayer & fasting.

Fully Devoted: Part 7

Our assignments and destinies come with obstacles, mountains. But we are to shout "grace, grace to it!" and God will make the mountain a plain! In this new teaching, Pastor Gene dives in to the importance of being in The Word, and finding stability in its truths in such an unstable world. In this first teaching, Pastor Gene describes the first fundamental truth that we have the revelation of how g...

Proverbs 31 lays out the virtuous, wise woman. A woman who is disciplined, who has integrity, and who does not walk in fear of the future. After spending an entire book telling men to be wise, Solomon uses the last chapter of Proverbs to show that there is already an example of wisdom in a woman. Pastor Gene uses the Hebrew translations to show how God built wisdom into a woman when Eve was create...

Are you growing in your faith? As we continue this teaching on the book of Hebrews, Pastor Gene looks at chapter 5, and teaches on growing in our relationship with Christ. It is easy to confuse spiritual maturity with success, but maturity is not about what we do. It’s about who we become in Christ, and the plan God has for each of us. It’s not something we can borrow from our parents, or somethin...

Our life in eternity will not be determined by the days that we spend in this life, but by the moments we have. Throughout history, it’s moments that define men & women, great leaders. Most great men and women throughout history can go back to one specific moment when everything changed. As followers of Jesus, we are called to find Him in the moments, but that is only possible when we are continua...

Do you live for God on your terms, or do you live for God on His terms? In this week’s teaching, we look at just how much our faith says about our devotion. Many of us would say that we live boldly for Jesus, but would we truly live boldly in faith when that means being in the minority? Would we have enough faith to be like Joshua and Caleb when everyone else said that the giants were too big? Are...

As we continue this teaching on devotion, Pator Gene begins to walk through the book of Hebrews. This book has many warnings in it, and one warns to not drift from Jesus. It is easy to become casual about following Jesus, and to forget in the day-to-day just how good He is. But He, Jesus, was never casual about being a sacrifice for each of us. He showed up willing to surrender everything so that...

There is no man that can do what Jesus did for each of us 2,000 years ago on the cross. He is worthy of our love, our lives, our time, and our treasures. We should not be choosing to follow His plan when it is convenient for us, or when we have made time for it. We should put aside anything that hinders us, and meet our plans for our lives with His. He is worthy of our faithfulness and full devoti...

Jesus is worthy of our full devotion! He was CHOSEN by God to be His representative here on Earth. The Bible says that "I have placed Him." But are we ready for when He returns? Have we truly made room for Him in our hearts? It's not about us. It's all about Him. We love Him because He first loved us. We encourage you to pray this wee about what may be in your hearts that has compromised your devo...

In part 3 of this teaching, we see how God used the brokenness in Joseph’s life. It's in the waiting that we experience brokenness. It is there that we are refined, and we grow closer to God. God always uses brokenness to trust us with more. If we can steward what we have been given in the trails and tests of life, He is faithful to bless us with more than we can imagine. We cannot always see God...

As we continue learning about pursuing our dreams, Pastor Gene shows us just how much waiting Joseph did before he saw his dream begin to flourish. Through the trials and in the waiting, He is there! In the waiting, we grow closer to Him, and He refines us. Our Father will never leave us or forsake us, and we pray that this message reminds you just how close He always is!

The story of Joseph is a great example of when God’s plan flourishes into us living out our destiny. Pastor Gene walks us through the life of Joseph, and how he found favor because of his faith and integrity. Though he experienced many tests, God was faithful to fulfill Joseph’s dream and destiny, and he will do the same for you! No matter where you are in the steps of walking out your purpose, Go...
