Gateway Church Austin

All of the signs and miracles of scripture point to Jesus.

We live in an individualistic society. We are more connected than we’ve ever been and yet more lonely and isolated than ever. We’ve replaced physical proximity to others with superficial digital access to the world. If we really want to grow in Jesus and make Him known in the world, it’s time to reclaim what makes us unique and lean into community, look up to God through Scripture and prayer, and step out in practice. We grow in Jesus when we STEP OUT IN PRACTICE.

We grow in Jesus when we LOOK UP TO GOD THROUGH SCRIPTURE AND PRAYER.

Spiritual Gifts are talked about in all sorts of ways in the Church today. Drawing from Scripture, we'll explore the purpose of spiritual gifts, their relationship to the fruits of the Spirit, and how they can be used effectively to build God's kingdom. This week, we hope to give you a balanced, biblical view on spiritual gifts, and how you can use them in the Church today.

Do people still get healed today? This week, we'll examine biblical accounts and personal testimonies to understand healing as an expression of God's love and a gateway to deeper faith. We'll also tackle the tough questions about unanswered prayers for healing.

Through Paul’s story, we’ll see how God can take our weaknesses, past mistakes, and even our opposition to Him, and turn them into powerful tools for His kingdom. Come and be inspired by the extraordinary ways God can work in and through us when we’re willing to answer His call!

Sabbath & fasting are the answers to the problems of business and misdirection.

Scripture is the answer to the problem of confusion.

Solitude is the answer to the problem of distraction.

Hospitality is the answer to the problem of loneliness and isolation.

This Sunday, Austin Gillis preaches about Gateway's impact around the world through our global mission partners.

When we truly trust Jesus, He often chooses to heal us in the context of community- our friends.

At some point our relationships will become strained, but we aren’t meant to face these challenges alone.

Marriage is not a contract; it is a covenant with God and our spouse to grow in love, trust, and intimacy. 

Our romantic relationships are not meant to complete us, they are meant to complement the work of God in us.
