4 years ago we prayed to fill every chair on our first Sunday. There were 87 chairs and 86 of them were filled.

When we stopped to reflect on this, it was evident that the final chair was His.

Now, in this new building we are leaving room for God and saving a seat for you.

Join us tomorrow as we continue to dive into God's word, grow in community, and worship together!

Our reward for being fruitful is pruning. 🌿

Living branches will always feel the cut, so don’t mistake God’s preparation for punishment.

The cut may hurt, but the pruning is necessary.

Let Him prune what He wants to grow!

Jesus doesn’t call us to strive harder, produce more, or figure it all out on our own. He calls us to abide, or stay, and position ourselves to receive.

You can’t bear fruit if you’re cut off from the root. And when we abide in Jesus, He gives us three beautiful gifts:

FELLOWSHIP 🌿
Fellowship gives us His life. When we stay connected to the vine, we stop relying on our own strength and begin receiving what only Jesus can provide. Abiding is the key to fellowship with Him.

FRIENDSHIP 🤍
Friendship gives us a new status. Jesus doesn’t simply call us servants, He calls us friends. Friendship with the King means knowing where we stand with Him and caring deeply about what He cares about.

FRUITFULNESS 🍇
Fruitfulness is the natural byproduct of faithfulness. We don’t produce fruit through striving, rather we bear fruit by staying connected to the vine. The baseline of all kingdom productivity is His grace.

Underneath so much of our spiritual exhaustion is fear. The fear that we aren’t doing enough, producing enough, or becoming enough. But Jesus answers every one of those fears with the same invitation: abide.

Join us this Sunday as we continue our “You’re Invited” sermon series! 🙌

Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen Jesus extend the greatest invitation of all: “Follow me.”

We pray this series has encouraged, challenged, and changed you as we learn what it means to follow Jesus in our everyday lives.

We can’t wait to worship with you tomorrow! Who can you invite to join you this week?

Jesus didn’t wait for the disciples to have their lives perfectly together before He called them.

He met them right where they were, on the shore, in the middle of their ordinary lives, and said, “Follow me.”

The Kingdom of God isn’t simply a place we enter. It is the active rule of the King breaking into our everyday lives.

And Jesus doesn’t waste any part of who you are.

Your skills.
Your experiences.
Your influence.
Your story.

He can take what He’s already given you and redirect it for His Kingdom.

You supply the following. He supplies the making.

So the question isn’t, “What do I need to become before God can use me?”

It’s, “How can I leverage what God has already given me to point hurting people toward Jesus?”

We are not owners. We are stewards of what the King has entrusted to us.

Follow Him. Surrender what you have. Let Him use it for His Kingdom.

Matthew 4:17–22

Matthew 4:17–22 reminds us of the importance of following Him.

The invitation is clear: “Follow Me.”

No guarantees of comfort. No five-year plan. No promise of certainty. Just a simple, absolute, and deeply personal invitation from Jesus.

We supply the following. Jesus supplies the making.

So the question is simple: Are you following Jesus?

Jesus tells them "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

And what do they do? They drop everything to follow him.

When Jesus calls, he deserves everything immediately.

Jesus doesn't negotiatie, He demands absoulte allegiance.

What net are you holding on to currently?

Drop it and follow Him, "for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

You're invited!

Church isn't the same without U.

Because what makes Gateway special isn't just a building, it’s the people who fill it. The friendships, the community, the serving, the worship, and the people who point one another back to Jesus.

We’d love to have YOU with us tomorrow as we continue through our new series!

Come as you are. Find your people. Meet us at Gateway.

She didn’t run from Jesus when He exposed her brokenness.

She ran to tell others about Him.

Why? Because for the first time in her life, she was fully known and fully loved at the same time.

You don’t have to clean up your act before you come to Jesus. You come to Jesus so He can make you clean.

You don’t have to fix the mess before you reach for His water. Come parched. Come broken. Come empty handed.

Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well when everyone else had written her off. He crossed every barrier to reach her, exposed what was broken, and offered her what no earthly well ever could: living water that leads to everlasting life.

She came thirsty and left transformed. She came carrying her jar and left it behind. The woman who had been written off became an evangelist, running to tell others, “Come and see.”

Don’t keep running to an empty well when Jesus is offering you living water.

He knows you fully, loves you completely, and invites you to follow Him in obedience.

Drink deeply. Leave the jar. Come and see.
