In this message from the Ask Anything series, Pastor Tim Lucas explores the question, “Can I Trust the Bible?” Through evidence from history, archaeology, and scripture, he shows how the Bible is reliable and authoritative. Whether you’re curious about its origins, accuracy, or relevance today, this sermon provides clear answers to strengthen your faith in God’s Word.

How do we become more dependent? Jesus taught us how to pray by giving us a flow, a rhythm, an outline of how we can pray and grow in our prayer (Matthew 6:5-13). In this prayer, we see the features of the branch that remains in the vine. Join us this week as Brad Case reminds us that a branch is nothing if not connected to the vine. A conscience branch knows that it’s very survival depends on the vine and so becomes completely aligned with the ways, purpose, values, and direction of the vine

Jesus warns that sometimes even doing things that appear to be the stuff of God can be misguided and disobedient (Matthew 7:21-23). Trying to work out what it means to be a branch and working hard to become a branch is very different from remaining in the vine. This week, Andrew Mayne reminds us that true obedience – the kind of obedience that Jesus is looking for – begins and ends in love.

Like the leper in Matthew 8:2-3, as we become aware of our ‘uncleanness’ and ask Jesus to make us clean, we hear Him say, “I am willing.” Jesus will clean anyone who comes to Him. Join us this week as Tim Lucas encourages us that there is no other path to spiritual cleanliness than then remaining in Jesus.

Doing the work of the Kingdom; that is, doing the stuff that Jesus did with the same heart and character as He has (Galatians 5:22-23), He describes that lifestyle as bearing fruit. The only way a branch can bear fruit is by remaining in the vine. A detached branch loses any chance or hope of bearing fruit. Join us this week as Jason Elsmore encourages us that the fruit that we produce as we remain in Jesus is always about serving others and doing good to them, even our enemies.

Discipleship is an ongoing journey as we follow Jesus. This Father’s Day we hear from Tim Hanna who is a dad to 9 kids and has been following Jesus for 50 years. He will share with us what it means to continually follow Jesus in all of the seasons of life.

There is power in our words. Research shows that the average person says 16,000 words a day. Join us today as Andrew Mayne reminds us that each word has power to cut down a person OR to encourage someone. Words can destroy or words can heal. Your words have the power to transform.

It’s Thanksgiving Day at Gateway today and we’re really glad that you’re here to celebrate with us.

Have you ever wondered why sometimes we pray and don’t see results? In today’s message, Derek Peters explores this and reminds us that while healing can only come through the power of the Lord, He invites us to play a part in seeing His Kingdom come on earth. But how do we live in the tension about what we sometimes in experience in not seeing people healed when Jesus commanded us to go and heal the sick?

Sometimes we look at what we need and ask ourselves ‘Do I believe God is going to do what He says He is going to do?’. Join us as Lauren Lucas opens up scripture to remind you that God cares about you! God has been in the business of provision since creation, and he is our provider today
