We Are Gateway

If you’ve seen all that is taking place in our world lately, along with the conflict in the Ukraine… in Pakistan a third of the country is under water due to unrelenting rain and deadly flooding; a number of European countries are facing a crippling energy shortage; in Cuba citizens are fleeing by the thousands due to oppressive economic and political conditions; in the UK millions are plunging into poverty due to inflation; in Afghanistan almost 19 million are facing acute levels of food shortage. More nations are in political upheaval and than ever before. In a world that has been facing significant crises, we may all wonder what’s next. What does this all mean? How should we view it? Should we not care? Should we worry about what may be coming? What can we know for sure and what does it mean for our lives?

If you think about all the recent conversation topics, we’ve had a lot to form opinions about. We all see things in a certain way that may be completely different than someone else. We all think our opinions are right, otherwise we’d change them! Perspective is everything when it comes to issues that polarize us, because those same issues can paralyze us. It’s amazing to see things through someone else’s eyes, because they may have more understanding, and they may see more clearly – especially if they are looking UP.

A Farewell for the Mercers after 22+ years at Gateway Church.

Canada Day Weekend

In our A.K.A. series we are looking at the Lord as our provider, healer, righteousness and banner. What about when He doesn’t provide or heal or seem good or show up? Are there times God doesn’t? Or do we have the wrong perspective? What do we do in the midst of this? How do we trust Him no matter what?

Everywhere we go, we hear promises: facial cream that promises to make us look younger, a chocolate bar that promises to satisfy our hunger, a financial plan that promises to make us wealthy. Everyone makes promises… some keep them, and some break them. Everything about promises depends on whether you can count on them. If you can, then you have something to build on. If you’ve ever seen bricklayers building a wall for a house renovation or new addition, they need a foundation they can count on to hold up the wall for the life of the house. We’re all bricklayers, building our lives brick by brick. We need to be able to build on something solid and strong, on good promises that are true and last forever. Yet many times we end up building on something that doesn’t hold up the wall.
