Gateway Fellowship

Persistent prayer grows out of confidence in the Father, and Jesus reminds us that the Father gives His children more than answers. He gives us Himself.

Most of us know how to pray after we’ve given in to temptation. But Jesus teaches us to pray before we fall. In this message, we’ll look at why we’re more vulnerable than we think, how grace is available before the regret, and what it looks like to ask God for help before temptation gets the best of us.

Prayer is more than giving God a list of problems to fix. In this message, we look at two parts of the Lord’s Prayer: asking God for our daily bread and forgiving others as God has forgiven us. We’ll talk about depending on God each day, even when life is going well, and why success can make us forget how much we need Him. We’ll also look honestly at forgiveness, bitterness, and the pain caused by...

There’s a difference between learning some prayers and learning to pray. In Luke 11, Jesus’ disciples ask Him to teach them how to pray. His answer begins with who God is, whose kingdom comes first, and what it looks like to surrender our will to His.

Have you ever noticed that the things demanding your attention aren’t necessarily the things most deserving of it? In Luke 10:38–42, Martha is busy with things that matter, but Jesus tells her she has lost sight of what matters most. Together with Paul’s words in Philippians 3, her story challenges us to consider what has gotten out of order in our own lives and what changes when knowing Christ be...

The story of the Good Samaritan is one of Jesus’ most familiar stories, but it begins with a question we can’t afford to miss: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” In Luke 10:25–37, Jesus shows us why we can never justify ourselves and what it means to live as people who have received mercy.

What if you’re already exactly where God wants to use you? In Luke 10, Jesus sends ordinary people into ordinary places with an extraordinary mission. As we continue our Follow series, we’ll see what it means to live as people sent by Jesus.

Following Jesus begins when Jesus gets to determine the direction of your life.

Sin is never content to stay in one corner of your life. In Haggai 2:10–19, God reveals the corrupting power of sin, why religious activity can never compensate for a wandering heart, and how His loving discipline is designed not to push His people away, but to bring them back.

Sometimes the hardest part of following Jesus isn’t getting started, it’s staying faithful when progress feels slow. In this week’s message, Keep Building, we’ll look at Haggai 2:1-9 and discover how God meets discouraged people with His presence, reminds them of His promises, and calls them to keep taking the next faithful step.

Most people don't abandon God. They just slowly become consumed by everything else. This week in Haggai, God gets His people's attention in a way nobody would choose. Not to pay them back but to bring them back.

Have you ever found yourself saying, “I’ll do it later”? Most of us haven’t said “no” to God. We’ve just said, “not yet.” In Haggai 1, God confronts His people about delayed obedience and calls them to examine the direction of their lives.

A low view of God always makes room for a high view of self. Psalm 36 shows how easily that happens and calls us back to see God as He truly is: faithful, righteous, and near.

Psalm 90 reminds us that our days are numbered, but it does not leave us in fear or regret. Moses teaches us to bring all our days to God: the days behind us, the day in front of us, the hard days we’ve endured, the next generation, and the work that remains.

You can't add days to your life. But you can add wisdom to the days you have. The only psalm Moses ever wrote gives us three truths and one prayer worth carrying into your week.

What makes someone unshakable when their life isn't easy? David wrote Psalm 27 while he was being hunted. And in the middle of it, he names the one prayer he wanted answered more than any other.

We all know how to pray when life is good. What about when you're stuck, isolated, and it feels like no one notices? David wrote Psalm 142 from a literal cave, running for his life. And from that cave, he gives us four prayers we can pray any time we find ourselves in one.

We often pray, "God, do something for me," but sometimes God just wants to say something to us. And He speaks most clearly through His Word. In Psalm 119, David let Scripture become the foundation under every decision he made. This week we're learning how to do the same. Because, when you start to see as God sees, His direction for your life finally makes sense.

Have you ever wondered where God is in the middle of your struggle? In Psalm 13, David shows us that faith isn’t pretending everything is okay-it’s bringing our pain to God and learning to trust Him in the silence.

You believe God is good. But your life isn't always good. And the people who don't even try to follow Him sometimes seem to be doing just fine. What do you do with that tension? Three thousand years ago, a worship leader named Asaph asked the same question and what he found might surprise you.

What kind of life is actually blessed? Psalm 1 doesn't answer that question the way our culture would. Instead of telling us what to add to our lives, it starts with what to reject. In this opening message of our new series in the Psalms, we look at the road we're walking on, the destination it's leading to, and the only righteousness that can stand on judgment day.

What do you do with the words that have hurt you? In this message, we explore how unaddressed pain can take root in our hearts and eventually shape our words, relationships, and responses. Looking at Ephesians 4:31–32, Hebrews 12:15, and Romans 12:19–21, we’ll see how Scripture calls us to move from bitterness to healing through forgiveness.

We’ve all said things we wish we could take back. A sharp word, a careless comment, a defensive response, or a tone that came out stronger than we intended. But Jesus teaches that our words are connected to something deeper. They reveal what is happening in the heart. In this message, we’ll look at Matthew 12 and Philippians 4 to see how Jesus invites us beyond simply watching our words. He wants...

We've all been hurt by words. And we've all hurt someone with ours. In James 3, we find out why the tongue is so hard to control and where real change actually starts.

Your life has been shaped by words. Some have built you up, and some have left a mark. But what about the words you use?
