We Are Gateway

Most of us have probably heard the statement, “Knowledge is power.” It’s been used to promote education because the more we know, the more options and influence and potential we have. But it also refers to responsibility. The more we know, the more responsible we are to use that knowledge wisely and ethically. Canada Day is this weekend. Our country is a nation of many nations. People bring knowledge from all over the world. There are a lot of things we know. But is it possible that with all this knowledge, there’s something important that we don’t know, that we should know? Centuries ago God made this promise: “I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” What would our great nation be like if we really knew God?

June 17, 2018: Father’s Day As told to us by Pastor Tim Schwindt, about his father. My dad. My dad was the one who encouraged me to try harder if I didn’t do well in school. My dad was the one who showed me what it means to respect my mom. My dad was the one who taught me to stand up against bullying, especially if it was for someone else. My dad was the one who told me I could be everything I was created to be. And now, my dad is the one who brags about being MY dad. If you’re a dad, do you remember how you felt when you were first told you were going to be a dad? What was the funniest thing you did when you first became a dad? How did your own dad influence your approach to being a dad? What has been your greatest challenge as a dad? What is one thing dads could learn from you? What is one thing you wish you knew better? This Sunday we heard from some dads about being dads. We hope you might be encouraged to be a better dad, or to love your dad just a little more.

Have you noticed that many people seem distracted nowadays? Sometimes it’s the person sitting at the stoplight at the front of the line of cars. Sometimes it’s a friend or family member or co-worker. You’re talking to them, and they’re just not listening, not paying attention, their focus is elsewhere, and you get the feeling that what you’re saying doesn’t even matter because they didn’t really hear you at all. Now, think about the word “prayer”. You know, talking to God. Is it real? Does it matter? Sure it does, IF someone is listening. Some people think prayer is a magic wand, or a fire extinguisher, or a tug of war with God, or just a ritual. But really, what is prayer? Should I pray? Why? How? What? Will God hear it? Will He answer? What if He doesn’t? For the next few weeks, we will take a good look at all of these questions and more!

After the Olympics were done, you may have thought it would be great to meet our figure skaters Tessa and Scott at the airport, walk up to them and tell them how proud you are of them. Then you may have thought there would be a lot of people there, and you probably wouldn’t even get close to them. Why? Because you don’t actually know them, and they don’t know you. If you asked someone who there are, they might simply describe themselves as a mother, father, business person, volunteer etc but only as you get to know them, would you know those things are true. If someone asked you who you are, what would you say? Now let us ask, what do you know about God? What is He like? How well do you know Him? Jesus used metaphors like bread, light, gate, vine, shepherd and life to describe who He is. We invite you to Gateway Church on Sunday mornings in March, including Good Friday and Easter Sunday, for a mini-series called “I Know I Am”. We’d love for you to join us. For further study, we encourage you to read Phi

We have been everywhere, from the highest peaks to the deepest fathoms. We have seen everything, from the smallest elements to the farthest corners of space. We have built empires, defied gravity, and conquered the elements.We have cured diseases, made a heart beat again, and made the impossible possible again. We are humanity, and there is no limit to what we can accomplish together. In other words, we don’t need God … do we? And yet, wherever we go, we find selfishness and pride and entitlement and greed. We find suspicion and animosity and violence and hate. We find loneliness and stress and anxiety and depression, in epidemic proportions. We find it around us, and sometimes we find it in us. So, do we need God? That’s what this mini-series is about; who needs God.
