We Are Gateway

January 29 & February 5 Today we have more social networking, more friends and followers, and more connectivity than ever. But somehow we are more socially isolated, disconnected and lonely than ever. We live in a community, but we hardly know anyone in it. Real community involves connecting, learning, knowing, feeling and uniting with others. It’s something we all really need, and it takes time and effort. Have we traded the real thing for the instant, drive-through version? You may have heard stories from the bible about a man named Jesus. In those stories we find that He really cared about people, even the ones others ignore. He met with them, talked with them, ate with them, connected with them, and influenced them in such a way that they were never the same again. That’s what real community is meant to do. And you are meant to experience it! In this 2-part series we look at Jesus in Community. Maybe we can find the real thing.

January 22 Things in the world are not the way they are supposed to be, but God sees the way it is now, sees the bigger picture and is on a mission to save and redeem and restore everything! God has always chosen to work that mission through people, people like you … groups of ordinary communities of human beings for the salvation of the world. What does that look like in our city? Watch as we learn from a local pastor what that looks like in his part of our community of London.

January 8 & 15 Facebook… Twitter… Instagram… LinkedIn… Tumblr… Pinterest… Snapchat. These are some of the most popular "social networking" sites and apps. We’ve got contacts and communities, friends and followers. We like and unlike, friend and unfriend. We share anything in our mind with everyone, but share nothing of our heart with anyone. We are supposedly more connected than ever, but we are actually more lonely, low-esteemed, lacking, left out and lost than ever. In the depths of our heart what we all really desire is true community. We call our neighbourhood a community, but we hardly know anyone in it. We really want community, but we hardly know how to have it. Maybe that’s because true community is about connecting, learning, knowing, feeling, loving, and uniting with others. And that doesn’t just happen, even if we have every social networking account there is. Real community needs to be… created. At Gateway Church we’re trying to learn how to truly create community in our community. Come and lea

In Luke 5 Jesus talked about change, that what was would be no more. Nothing would ever be the same again. What old habits, sins, thinking or attitudes do we need to change to bring about change, or for God to start something fresh and new in our lives? Listen and discover with us!

December 4 - 18 & Christmas Eve There are movies and TV shows we always try to watch at Christmas time. Movies like A Christmas Carol, It’s a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34 th Street, and Christmas Vacation. And shows like Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Even though we love them, we all know they’re stories, made up in someone’s creative imagination. If you’ve ever read any of the Christmas stories in the collection of books called the bible, they feature characters like a girl named Mary, a guy named Joseph, shepherds, wise men, angels, and of course, a baby. Have you ever wondered, did an angel really appear to Mary? Did she really give birth to the Son of God? Did angels really announce it to shepherds? Did wise men really follow a star? This Christmas at Gateway Church we’re going to look at some of these advent stories in a new way. Part 1: God's Purpose Part 2: God's Pleasure Part 3: God's Presence Part 4: God's Peace

If you are like most people, every time you drive somewhere, you see construction. A second floor is being added to our facility, to provide more room for children, students, guests and the community. It’s been amazing to watch the various stages and see the building take shape. Our facility has a lot of character, with a unique and forward-thinking design. But right now that character is under construction, and when it’s all done, the entire character of our building will be changed, expanded, improved, far more useful and more potential to fulfill its purpose. Our lives are just like that. Every one of us has a certain character, formed over whatever years we’ve been alive on this earth. And sometimes that character needs to have some construction done on it. Throughout November we’re talking about “Character Under Construction”, focusing on our relationships, our resources, and the reality of who we really are. Part 1: Relationships - How I Care Part 2: Resources - What I Do Part 3: Reality - Who I

Back to the Bible, Season Two: Courage Stories When you were a kid, you had your favourite TV shows. Of course, you could catch them only when they were airing, and it didn’t matter if you missed some episodes. At some point someone thought of doing TV shows in seasons, in which a story would run for years, and eventually you could watch them anytime. And the stories were about danger, courage, relationships, mysteries, crime, love, good overcoming evil, and the human emotions that go with all of that. I don’t know if you’ve ever read any of the bible, but it’s a collection of books that contain some amazing stories, with some of the same themes! And you can catch episodes anytime! At Gateway Church we’re featuring an excellent series called Back to the Bible. Earlier this year we had Season One, called Love Stories, and now we’re offering Season Two, called Courage Stories. We invite you to join us on Sunday mornings from October 23rd to November 6th, to catch as many episodes as you can! Part 1: To Live

Pursuit is an all-ages conference created by Gateway Church with the goal of encouraging our entire church family to pursue a closer relationship with God. We learn from 2 Corinthians 3:16-18 that the more we turn to God and see Him face to face, the more He enters our lives, and the more we become like Him. “Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are—face-to-face! They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We’re free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.” – 2 Corinthians 3:18 (Messsage)
