Palm Sunday – Parade

Gateway — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:00:21 +0000

Shannon Richmond takes the hot seat this week and talks on the subject of Palm Sunday. Instead of focusing on the events of that day Shannon goes in a different direction and looks at the people. On Palm Sunday Jesus memorably rode through the city of Jerusalem on the back of a colt with people cheering “Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest”. It was these same people who later went on to shout crucify him barely a week later. Shannon looks at the heart of the crowd in this challenging talk.

Gateway Magazine, March 2012, Issue 14

Jessie Michels — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 22:47:58 +0000

Welcome to the March edition of the gateway magazine.
By now Jo Peart our previous editor will be revelling in the joys of having a new-born. Congratulations to her and Jono!

I am an avid reader and lately i have been reading the biography of Steve Jobs – Founder of Apple. One of Jobs’ business mantras was to maintain focus. For Apple that meant deciding what they were going to produce and doing it well rather than diversifying and producing a myriad
of products.

As we head into March most things have started back up at Gateway and many areas are still in need of a helping hand. Maybe it is time for us to be a little like Apple and decide where our focus is going to be for 2012, be it leading a small group or being on the worship team or maybe being involved in some of the activities outlined in this edition of the magazine.

Ecclesiastes 9:10a says “whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might”

We hope that as you read some of the stories you may be inspired and find somewhere that your hand might be just the thing that is needed to further the kingdom and community that we live in.

Shannon.

David – A Paradigm of Praise, Part Five

Don Barry — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 01:00:39 +0000

This time Don looks at the example of David in the bible. David excelled as a shepherd, musician, soldier, King and poet. Yet the great characteristic that formed the foundation for all these abilities was his consistency in praise and worship. He is mentioned 800 times in the Old Testament and a further 70 times in the New Testament. This is an in depth look at the man who was said to be after God’s own heart.

Hebrew Words for Praise – Part Four

Don Barry — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 01:00:28 +0000

This week in his evening series Don looks at the Hebrew words associated with praise. The Bible says that as we approach the Lord we are to come with praise and with worship. Not only does it tell us we are to come with praise and worship, but it tells us what that praise and worship will look like. This has been a fantastic series and this latest edition is sure not to disappoint.

Paul’s Epistles – Ephesians, Part Four

Don Barry — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:00:54 +0000

Don takes another look at the Book of Ephesians in his study of the Epistles. Paul was the person the Holy Spirit chose to bring the message of the Gospel to those outside of Judaism. The Book of Acts is largely a record of how the early church struggled with this idea. This is a great study of many of the issues that were present in the early church.
