Sunday thoughts

It's always great to be with God's people on Sunday. The message today was crucial to our growth as believers... learning how to forgive others!

One quick observation: In the past few weeks many individuals have asked "how can I get more involved at Gateway?" I love it when a follower of Christ takes the initiative to find their role in the Kingdom!

If you want to take the next step, here are a few thoughts:
  • Begin by seeking and committing to the very best God has for you.
  • Commit to pray for God's direction.
  • Discover your spiritual gift - this is a huge indication of the role God has for you.
  • Ask your friends who know you best - "what strengthens do you see in me?" This is not to have an ego trip, but to have an honest assessment of your gifts and abilities.
  • Ask one of our pastors what ministries need leadership and volunteers.
  • Be willing to give up in order to grow up. In other words, be prepared to set aside good things in your life in order to do the best thing.
