We
live
in a
sin-sick
world.
The
only
thing
that
can
overcome
that
sickness
is the
'balm
of
Gilead'
found
in

God
already
knows
whether
or not
we
trust
Him,
but
how do
we
know
it?
It's
easy
for us
to
fool
ourselves
about
our
level
of
trust.

Spirit.

The
Kingdom is
Near

An
Inviting

the devil has been given to the
Church.

Peace
February

In
the Bible we see God using or
allowing war for three specific
purposes.
A
Call to
Intercession
March
2, 2003
God
has given us powerful weapons:
the Name of Jesus, the Blood of
Jesus, and the Word of God.
Prayer is the means of delivering
these weapons to the places where
they're needed.
Some
Time in the
Desert
March

In
the life of an individual and in
the life of a church, desert
experiences are necessary to mold
us into what God wants us to
be.

To
fulfill God's purpose for your
life, you must live in the power
of the Holy Spirit.

Pentecost
June

The
experience of Pentecost is the
biblical norm for Christian
life.
The
Spirit of

Father.
The
Power of
Praise
June

at the root of who we are as the

demonic opposition and increases
our faith.
Learning
to
Receive
June
29, 2003
If
we're to be the people God wants
us to be, we must learn how to
receive from Him.
Liberty
or
License?
July
6, 2003
Our
personal liberty in America was
never intended to be a license to
legitimize anything we want to
do.
Total
Forgiveness
July
13, 2003
What
did Jesus mean when He said if we
don't forgive others God won't
forgive us?

We
become what we eat. Are we
becoming like Christ, the Bread
of Heaven?
Kingdom
Living
August
17, 2003
Jesus
said the Kingdom of God is an
inner reality. What does life
look like when we're living with
the Kingdom within us?
To
Whom Shall We
Go?
August
24, 2003
According
to John 6, many of Jesus'
disciples "turned back and no
longer followed Him." They had
good reasons for doing so.
Pride
and
Prejudice
September
7, 2003
Why
did Jesus apparently insult a
Gentile woman who came pleading
for the healing of her
daughter?
The
Scandal of
Particularity
September
21, 2003
Gateway
Church has received what may be a
prophetic word from the Lord. How
do we respond to it?
God's
Opportunity
September

When
we follow Jesus beyond our
limited resources, we move into
the unlimited resources of
God.
The
Test of

goodness, even when we can't
understand why certain things
happen.
Protecting
Marriage
October
12, 2003
Marriage
has traditionally been the union
of one man and one woman. So what
if some people today want to
redefine marriage? Is it really
that big of a deal?
The
Priesthood of
Jesus
October
26, 2003
The
writer of Hebrews spends the
better part of three chapters
explaining the concept that Jesus
is "a priest forever, in the
order of Melchizedek." Why is
this truth so important?
Nuking
Negativism
November
2, 2003
Positive,
possibility thinking is rooted in
God's purposes for us. He had
made us and equipped us for
positive achievement.
No
Ifs, Ands, or
Buts

Discipleship
calls us to radical, immediate
obedience to Christ, forsaking
all other duties if the situation
demands it.
The
Importance of
Worship
November
16, 2003
Preaching
appeals primarily to the mind. It
motivates and instructs us. But
the arts, especially music,
appeal to the heart and the
soul.
Thanksgiving
in
Action
November
23, 2003
Our
outward expressions of
thanksgiving are hollow if we do
not, by our actions, honor the
God to whom we are thankful.
The
LORD Our
Righteousness
November
30, 2003 (First Sunday in

A
key prophecy in the Book of
Jeremiah, written 600 years
before the birth of Christ, tell
us what Jesus will do and how He
will save us.
A
Real
Christmas
December
7, 2003 (Second Sunday in
Advent)
Too
many of us settle for an
"artificial" Christmas. There's
only way to make Christmas
real.
The
Invited
Guests
December
14, 2003 (Third Sunday in
Advent)
Rather
than inviting people of social
standing to the unveiling of the
Savior, God invited Gentile
sorcerers and Jewish
low-lifes.
Why
Christmas?
December
21, 2003 (Fourth Sunday in
Advent)
The
Scriptures give three specific
reasons why God sent His son into
the world.
Follow
the Yellow Brick
Road
December
28, 2003 (First Sunday After
Christmas)
Is
Jesus really the Messiah the
prophets spoke about? God has
given us golden nuggets of truth
about Jesus' birth and life that
lead us to a sure faith.
