What does it look like to live a "Kingdom Come" life? In this message, we explore Jesus' call to pray, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven,” and what it means to embody that prayer in our everyday lives. Drawing from Jesus' teachings and ministry, we discover that God's Kingdom is both present and still coming—and we are invited to participate in its unfolding. This sermon outlines four powerful and transformational ingredients for cultivating a Kingdom lifestyle: engaging with Scripture, spending time with Jesus, going to others, and giving generously. As we embrace these practices, we become people through whom heaven touches earth.

In this Pentecost message, we explore the most revolutionary shift in human history—not a product or invention, but a person: the Holy Spirit. Just as the smartphone redefined our way of life, Pentecost marked a seismic transformation as God's presence came to dwell in His people, fulfilling His eternal desire to be with us. Tracing the biblical story and Acts 2, this episode stirs fresh awe for the Spirit's presence and power—two realities that change everything for those who trust in Jesus. Be invited to wait, confess, and ask again: “Come, Holy Spirit..."

In this sermon on Colossians 4:2–6, we're invited to consider how we live and speak in a time of spiritual openness and cultural uncertainty. Drawing from personal stories, recent Australian research, and the Apostle Paul's words, the message challenges us to “live a questionable life” — one that sparks curiosity and conversation about Jesus. With prayerful devotion, watchfulness, and thankfulness, we're called to talk to God about people and talk to people about God. This is a timely encouragement to be salt and light in our world and to boldly, yet graciously, make the most of every opportunity.

In this episode, we kick off a new series, Colossians - Jesus is King, exploring what it means to be in Christ rather than just at church. We dive into the deep truth that our identity — as God's holy ones — is a gift from God, not something we create ourselves. Through Paul's greeting in Colossians 1:1-14, we uncover the call to live lives marked by faith, hope, and love, being active participants in God's story, not just observers.

In this episode, our Mackenzie Campus Pastor, Tim Lucas explores the radical, countercultural generosity of the early church and what it means for us today. Rooted in Acts 2 and Acts 4, we see how the first Christians shared everything, ensuring no one was in need. How does this challenge our modern perspective on wealth, stewardship, and giving? We unpack three key truths about God—He owns it all, He is incredibly generous, and He blesses us to give more, not to have more. Join us as we reflect on how we can live out a faith that stands apart in a world consumed by materialism.

In this message, we explore what it means to be fully devoted to prayer—not as a duty, but as a deep and life-giving experience with God. Using the metaphor of water, we're invited to “drown” in the presence of the Holy Spirit, surrendering fully to God's love and power. Drawing from Acts 2:42-47, we examine how the early church committed themselves to prayer, and we're challenged to move from barely devoted to fully devoted in communion with God.Join us as we unpack practical ways to grow in prayer, embrace the presence of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and create space to hear from God in fresh and transformative ways.

In this message, we reflect on humanity's deep longing for "home" and how it finds fulfillment in Jesus, Immanuel—"God with us." Drawing from Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23, and John 1:14, it illustrates how Jesus is the ultimate Tabernacle, embodying God's presence among His people. The Tabernacle's design symbolized God's invitation to turn back from wandering and find true rest in Him, yet it also highlighted the separation caused by sin. Jesus, through His sacrificial death, removed this barrier, becoming the light and bread of life that leads us home to the Father. This Christmas, the sermon invites listeners to respond to God's desire to welcome them home through the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.

In this episode, we reflect on the profound peace that only Jesus, the Prince of Peace, can bring. Through stories like the Christmas Truce of 1914 and biblical insights into the concept of "Shalom," we explore how Jesus restores broken relationships, calms inner turmoil, and brings completeness to our lives. Discover how His unparalleled sacrifice made peace with God possible and why He alone fulfils the deep longing for wholeness in our hearts. Tune in for an inspiring message on finding true peace this Christmas season.

In this message, we explore the profound concept of God as our "Mighty God," diving deep into the tension between our expectations of His power and the ways it is truly revealed in our lives. Drawing on Isaiah 9:6 and the story of the paralytic man in Mark 2, we challenge the belief that God's power is primarily about altering circumstances. Instead, we discover the ultimate display of His power—victory over sin and death through Jesus Christ.

In this message, we continue our His Name Shall Be series looking at the name "Everlasting Father" from Isaiah 9:6, revealing how Jesus provides and protects as the perfect shepherd and ultimate provider. Whether you're wrestling with fears, struggling with independence, or longing for direction, this message reminds us of the unchanging, eternal care of Jesus. Discover how embracing Him as your Everlasting Father can bring hope, provision, and protection this Christmas season.

Life is messy—whether it's the chaos of a cluttered home, the complexities of our inner struggles, or the brokenness of the world around us. In this episode, we explore the hope found in one of Jesus' most awe-inspiring names: Wonderful Counsellor. From Isaiah 9:2-7, we uncover how Jesus doesn't just offer wisdom but embodies it, stepping into our mess with guidance, healing, and restoration. As we prepare our hearts this Advent season, discover how the King's extraordinary wisdom brings light to darkness and transforms lives in ways that leave us in wonder.

In this message, we delve into the story of Esther and how her time in the secret place with God became the turning point for justice and salvation for her people. Facing immense danger, Esther sought intimacy with God through prayer and fasting, drawing strength, wisdom, and courage. Her example shows us the power of meeting God in the secret place—a space of intimacy where transformation begins, lives are saved, and history is changed. Discover how God invites us to this same place today to seek His presence and fulfil His purposes.

In this message, we explore the paths of pride and humility through the story of Esther, chapters five and six. Haman's pride leads to his downfall, while Mordecai's humility and Esther's wisdom bring redemption. Ask yourself what guides your life—self-reliance or trust in God—and discover how humility opens the way to wisdom, grace, and purpose, pointing us to Jesus as the ultimate example.

In today's episode, we explore the unseen presence of God in the story of Esther, a book where His name is never mentioned but His fingerprints are unmistakable. Drawing parallels between ancient Persia and our modern secular, tolerant, and syncretistic society, we discuss what it means to stand out as God's people. Like Esther, who rose to the challenge “for such a time as this,” we too are called to live prayerfully, humbly, and courageously in our time and place. Through the lens of Esther's pivotal moment, we reflect on how God uses ordinary people to achieve His extraordinary purposes—and how we can reclaim our “oddness” to shine brightly in a world that often seeks conformity.

In the first two chapters of Esther, we see a world where God seems silent, yet His presence is unmistakably woven into the story. Through Esther and her cousin Mordecai, God's quiet, providential care emerges. Just as Esther continued to show up despite uncertainty, we, too, are encouraged to persist in faith through seasons of silence, trusting that God is at work even when we can't see or feel it.

In this message from the Ask Anything series, Pastor Ben Dainton unpacks the question, "Why does a good God allow suffering?" Suffering is something we all experience. This message explores how, even in our deepest pain, God's presence never leaves us, and that ultimately our hope is in Jesus who suffered for us. Gain hope in your suffering from God who transforms our hardships into moments of growth, faith, and trust in HIs greater plan.

Sometimes we look at what we need and ask ourselves 'Do I believe God is going to do what He says He is going to do?'. Join us as Lauren Lucas opens up scripture to remind you that God cares about you! God has been in the business of provision since creation, and he is our provider today.

In Mark 4, Jesus performs a miracle by calming the storm—a demonstration of His divine authority over nature, his control over chaos. But what if the miracle wasn't just the storm Jesus calmed on the outside, but also the storm He calmed on the inside? Join us as Dani Bryant talks about the peace that Jesus can give us in our storms today.

It is abundantly clear throughout the Gospels that Jesus has the power to perform miracles of freedom and deliverance from evil, and He expects His followers to do likewise, through the power of prayer in His name. Join us as our Executive Pastor Derek Peters encourages us to pray and ask for miracles with our eyes fixed on the kingdom of God.

Jesus chose to preserve the ear of a man that was about to kill him. This ultimate act of mercy demonstrates the love and compassion of God – a love that is underserved yet given unreservedly. It also reflects Jesus' divine authority and the nature of His kingdom, which is characterised by healing and reconciliation rather than violence and retribution. Join us as Sam teaches us about Jesus' heart for us, and encourages us to be the salt of the earth.

Miracles of physical healing are perhaps the most common among all of Jesus' miraculous work. The Bible frequently notes throughout Jesus' ministry that he “healed the sick.” Join us for this message about understanding more about Jesus' healing and how we can pray for healing for ourselves, and for others

In John 1, Jesus invites His disciples to 'Come & See' what he was doing, and His disciples echo this invitation to the people they come across on their journeys. In this sermon, our Campus Pastor Sam Jackson encourages us to be the Church as Jesus intended, loving and welcoming to all, so others may 'Come & See.'

Our heart is to open new doors, so more people in more places can become fully devoted followers of Jesus. We want to see more families redeemed, more communities restored and more nations transformed. As we give, we will keep supporting our Beyond workers, care centres, op shops, counselling centres, Neighbours ministry and developing our campuses.

The cross has visibly and permanently revealed the love of God for us. It is a love that is so powerful that it will never be removed or overcome. As Paul exclaims, it is a love so strong that we will never be separated from God. That must give us great comfort and assurance. It also gives us the strength and resource to go and be love to the world around us. We have received the good news – now we must go and live the good news!

Being united to Christ means that we are no longer slaves to sin but rather we are filled with the Holy Spirit. And the Spirit affirms in our heart that we are no less than children of God! What an honour and privilege to be chosen. We are co-heirs with Christ.

Sin doesn't make you bad – it makes you dead. Sin destroys you because as Paul argues, it enslaves you. We all are in danger of being enslaved by sin. It may be life destroying habits that we often think of, but may also be the small, justifiable things that take hold of our heart over the long time - like gossip or envy, pride, or laziness. It is for all of these enslaving sins that Christ came to die for in order that we may be set free.

There is a longing for peace in every human heart. We often look for peace in temporal places, but true peace is found in peace with God. The good news is that Jesus came to give us peace with God by faith in him. Romans 5:6 tells us that "while we were still sinners, Christ died for the ungodly". Jesus came for us when we were at our worst and now we can choose life in him. When we choose faith in Him, we go from sinner to saved.

We all are hopelessly caught in our sin. We all have the tendency to worship created things, rather than worship the Creator. But in the midst of this bad news, there is Good News! There is a power for salvation that has come to rescue us. In the darkness there is hope for all of humanity.

Jesus has power and authority to forgive every sin and heal every disease. His name has the power to set people free and has authority over every authority. Whether you're a seasoned prayer warrior or just beginning your journey, this message will help you to partner with God in advancing His kingdom through the simple yet powerful act of prayer. As we magnify the Lord together, we believe He will mature us in our faith and use us to multiply His message, His ministry and His miracles throughout the world.

We often don't have faith for the supernatural because of what we see in the natural. In this message, Jason Elsmore will help us understand what scripture tells us about miracles and also how we can be ok with not getting the answer that we want. As we magnify the Lord together, we believe He will mature us in our faith and use us to multiply His message, His ministry and His miracles throughout the world.

One of the words God has for Gateway in 2024 is MULTIPLY and the other is MAGNIFY. There are two kinds of magnifying: microscope magnifying and telescope magnifying. One makes a small thing look bigger than it is and the other makes big thing begin to look as big as it really is. As we magnify the Lord together, we believe He will mature us in our faith and use us to multiply His message, His ministry and His miracles throughout the world.

When the word of God takes root in our lives, it transforms us into the likeness of Jesus, and it multiplies into the lives of others. One of the signs of our maturity in Christ is that His Word is multiplied in others, because the heart of Jesus is for more people to receive His Good News.   As we magnify the Lord together, we believe He will mature us in our faith and use us to multiply His message, His ministry and His miracles throughout the world.

So many people fill their lives with quests to find meaning and purpose. So many people wander aimlessly looking for hope. So many people wonder if there was a God what would he be like? Christmas invites us to find an answer to our searching. God isn't distant and disinterested - God took on flesh so he could be known, and in Jesus we can all find what we are searching for.
