This Christmas, we’re diving into the heart of the Christmas Story through four powerful messages that speak to the journey of faith, the challenges of waiting, and the hope that Jesus brings to all. Each week, we’ll explore different aspects of the Christmas narrative, discovering how the stories of those involved in the first Christmas still speak to our lives today. Whether you're in a season of waiting, growing, seeking, or belonging, the Christmas story is for you. Let’s journey together and experience the wonder of His presence.

Even Mary, who was incredibly familiar with Jesus, had to grow in understanding who He truly was. This message challenges all of us—there is always more to learn about His nature, His mission, and what He’s calling us to. No matter how long we’ve known Him, there’s still room to grow.

"The Christmas Story: Overcoming Familiarity"

We continued our series through the Gospel of Mark at Gateway Church in Austin.

Jesus uses the metaphor of a lamp to teach powerful truths about how God’s Word functions in our lives. Light is a central theme in this passage, revealing both our responsibility and privilege in how we handle and share the light of God’s truth.

"The Power of a Story: The Lamp"

We concluded our series on "The Power of a Story" at Gateway Church in Austin. This look at the parables of Mark 4 is part of a longer look at the Gospel of Mark.

The mustard seed, known for being the smallest of all seeds, grows into a large tree. This parable holds profound lessons for us about the nature of God’s kingdom, spiritual growth, and the surprising impact of even the smallest acts of faith. The Kingdom of God is like that small mustard seed—it’s unstoppable, it’s growing, and it’s destined to become something of eternal significance.

"The Power of a Story: The Mustard Seed"

God’s plan for the world isn’t random or chaotic. He is intentional, redemptive, and relational. Yes, people will make harmful choices. Yes, we will face hardship. But God’s ultimate purpose—to renew all things through Christ—cannot be thwarted. He is present with us, even when life feels out of control, and He promises to make things right in the end.

For now, we can trust that He is over all, through all, and in all.

"Over All, Through All, and In All"

There’s something powerful about coming home! In this series - Homecoming - we are realigning our hearts and minds with what is most important - faith, family, and calling. You see, home is not just a place but stepping into our purpose.

We are looking at how God forms us in community, meets us in our struggles, and sends us out to make a difference. To do this, we are looking at the life of Jesus.

Homecoming: Participate

God’s Word is your weapon…prayer is your power.
Don’t go silent in the fight. You’ve been given the sword of the Spirit and access to the Father through prayer.
Choose bold engagement with Scripture and passionate intercession for others.

"Fit Check: A Dagger and Devotion"

We started a new series called "Beyond Scarcity" at Gateway Church in Austin.

We often live with a scarcity mindset, believing we never have enough—enough money, time, or talent. But God calls us to live differently: to trust His abundance and to walk in generosity. This series will help us see that true freedom and joy come when we open our hands and give generously of our treasure, time, and talent. Together, we will learn to live beyond scarcity and discover the blessing of generosity.

Living Beyond Scarcity

"Beyond Scarcity: Time"

We continued our series "Beyond Scarcity" at Gateway Church in Austin.

God gave us gifts to be used for His glory and the good of others, not to be buried or wasted.
Consider: how am I using my God-given talents to serve others and glorify Him (point out God’s goodness to others)?

"Beyond Scarcity: Talent"

We continued our series called "Mixtape" at Gateway Church in Austin.

Music has always had the power to shape the way we think, feel, and live. Every song does something to us, whether it’s the anthem that defined our teenage years, the breakup ballad that got us through heartache, or the worship song that lifted us closer to God. Lyrics carry messages. Melodies stir emotions. Rhythms embed themselves into our memories. The songs we put on repeat become more than background noise, they become the soundtrack of our lives.

In this series, Mixtape: The Formative Years, we’ll explore how the music around us forms our perspective on life, love, identity, and faith. Some tracks speak lies that pull us away from God’s best, while others point us toward truth, hope, and worship. God invites us to be intentional about the soundtrack we live by. He wants to rewrite the playlist of our lives so that His Word and His presence set the rhythm for our future.
