A New Year always brings a sense of anticipation, at least for me! It's a natural time to assess the past, re-align your priorities, and set your heart and mind on new goals.
As we get closer to Christmas and the end of 2011, there's a lot of reasons to be excited at Gateway in the New Year, and one of those reasons is our upcoming message series! Here's a snapshot of what's coming up in 2012...
"Forward" (January) - We'll look at new beginnings from God's perspective from the book of Joshua. Four weeks, four powerful verbs you NEED TO APPLY in 2012!
"Signs" (February-March) - According to John, there's no question that Jesus is the Son of God. We'll spend 8 weeks looking at the 'proof!'
"Why Believe?" (April) - At some point, all of us must confront the reality of sin, death, and despair in this world. We're doin' that at Gateway in the weeks before, during, and after Easter!
"Re-Align" (April-May) - Our church has three core values.... We are KINGDOM-MINDED; we are DILIGENT; we have a SERVANT'S HEART. In "Re-Align," we'll re-visit, re-emphasize, and live out these most important congregational values.
"Prodigal" (May) - The story of the lost son in Luke 15 is about a lot more than that one son! Beginning on Mother's Day, we'll look at this most amazing story from several practical and powerful angles!
"Wasteland" (June) - The subtitle of this series explains it well: 'Finding God in the Desert.' There's a lot to be learned (and applied) in the tough times in our lives. We'll explore those lessons in this five week series!
2012's gonna be a great year at Gateway! Hold on tight, and get ready to experience an AMAZING year along with us!!!
