Gateway Church of Upstate New York, located in Corinth, NY. We're a church excited about God and what He's doing in today's world!
Are we writing our own stories or becoming part of something greater? There's a profound difference between wanting God to be part of your story versus becoming part of His. What happens when we surrender our personal narratives and step into God's eternal purpose? Join us as we explore how even our smallest acts of faith are recorded when we align with God's greater story. Have you ever wondered if your life could transform from temporary to eternal? This message offers hope that no matter where your story has taken you so far, it's never too late to become part of history—His story. Recorded Sunday, May 11th, 2025
What does it mean to have faith through physical battles? Join us for a powerful testimony where faith and healing converge. Have you ever felt disqualified from believing in something you haven't yet experienced? After seven years of battling a physical "perfect storm," Hannah shares how God taught her that His healing power comes from His word, not our experiences. Can hope stay alive when circumstances seem dire? Discover how the miraculous works in both moments and processes, and why faith requires action even when we don't see immediate results. Recorded Sunday May 4th, 2025
Have you ever felt like an outsider looking in? Ever wondered if a community is too tight-knit for someone new to truly belong? A recent visitor's comment sparked an important realization about how even the most welcoming communities can feel intimidating to newcomers. What does it truly mean to move from visitor to family? The story of a woman who broke social barriers to encounter Jesus reminds us that true community isn't about perfection but redemption. Join us as we explore how brokenness becomes the foundation for authentic connection and why our arms are wide open to welcome you exactly as you are. Will you take that step from merely visiting to finding your place at the table? Recorded Sunday, April 27th, 2025
Can we truly find peace in a world where suffering is inevitable? Join us as we explore Jesus's powerful declaration in John 16:33 that offers courage even in our darkest moments. Have you ever wondered what makes the resurrection so transformative? While 500 people witnessed Christ alive after his death, it's the personal connection to this event that can bring joy when everything else falls apart. What if this reality could open up an entirely new kingdom to you today?RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses. Recorded live Sunday, April 20th, 2025
Are you wondering if your mind is truly ready for life's trials? Join us this Palm Sunday as we explore 1 Peter 1:13, which urges us to prepare our thinking for what lies ahead. How might your responses change if you had predetermined how to face challenges? What would happen if you set your hope completely on God's grace rather than your own understanding? This message reminds us that life's difficulties will come, but with minds ready for action, we can respond by faith instead of emotion, finding peace in knowing that God remains good even in our temporary earthly residence. Recorded Sunday, April 13th, 2025
Ever felt trapped by shame or life's complexities? Join us to discover the liberating power of Jesus' sacrifice that brings true freedom every day. What makes the message of the cross so transformative yet misunderstood by many? Is your relationship with God based on rules or genuine love? The cross offers more than historical significance—it provides ongoing freedom from guilt and a path to wholeness. Are you experiencing the simplicity of this relationship, or have distractions pulled you away? Find out how this timeless message continues to change lives through God's unconditional love that covers our past, present, and future.
Are you ready to transform your thinking? In these biblically significant times, how will you prepare for what's coming? Drawing from 1 Peter 4, join us as we explore what it means to "arm yourself" with Christ's way of thinking instead of just responding impulsively. Will you make predetermined choices based on God's will before challenges arrive? The power of God isn't just about miracles but manifests through daily decisions when we align our thoughts with His. Have you considered that the subtlety of coming technologies might require spiritual readiness now rather than later? Recorded live Sunday, March 30th, 2025.
What if our plans aren't God's plans? When Jesus asked Peter, "Who do you say that I am?" Peter correctly identified Him as the Messiah and was blessed for this divine revelation. But how quickly things changed! When Jesus revealed His coming suffering, Peter's human concerns emerged, earning a sharp rebuke. Are we clinging to our own plans while God has something different in mind? Have we ever felt blessed one moment and crushed the next? Join us as we explore what happens when life takes unexpected turns and our carefully laid plans fall apart. What comes out when we're squeezed by life's disappointments? Can we still say "I will bless the Lord at all times" even when suffering comes? Recorded live Sunday, March 23rd, 2025
Is there power in unconditional love that can shield us from spiritual attacks? What happens when the shield of faith becomes an active force through love? Can trusting God's vast strength change how we view our relationships? Join us as we explore the profound connection between faith and love as spiritual protection. Drawing from a meaningful dream about fiery attacks being extinguished where love dwells, it challenges us to move beyond merely believing in God to actively loving others without expectation. The world doesn't need our doctrines or religiosity - it needs to witness love that transforms lives, just as those pushed to society's edges were drawn to Jesus. Recorded live Sunday, March 16, 2025
Jesus opened the Beatitudes with "blessed are the poor in spirit". Poverty of spirit isn't about lacking resources, but recognizing our complete dependence on God's grace and mercy. When we empty ourselves of pride and self-sufficiency, we create space for the Kingdom of Heaven to take root in our hearts. True spiritual blessing begins when we acknowledge our spiritual bankruptcy and fall to our knees before the throne of grace. Recorded live Sunday, March 9th, 2025.

In the beginning, God brought peace (Shalom) into chaos. As His followers, we ought to strive to bring peace to the lives of those around us. Recorded Jan, 5th, 2025.
The ministry of reconciliation, as outlined in 2 Corinthians 5, is about restoring relationships with God and others. This ministry is not about eternal salvation but about living a joyful and productive life in the present. The early church demonstrated this ministry through serving and building genuine connections with fellowship in their community. Recorded Sunday, December 29th, 2024.
Psalm 8:4 says “what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?” The creator of the universe came to earth as a baby, announced to a handful of nobodies. God's love for us defies our logic even today. Recorded December 22nd, 2024.
Christianity is often made more complicated than it needs to be, with unnecessary structures and expectations. The key to living for God is to have faith and seek Him, as He desires to present us as pure and holy before Christ. We must be vigilant against deception, especially in our technologically advanced world, and rely on God's Spirit to lead us into truth. Recorded Sunday, December 15th, 2024.
The concept of “likeness” is explored, connecting it to the sleeping saints and the Genesis mandate. The Septuagint version of Genesis 1:28 is examined, highlighting its significance in understanding the relationship between humans and the environment. This verse in sheds light on the proper stewardship of the earth and the role of humanity in mediating between heaven and earth. God's original mandate for humanity was to increase in honor, bring the earth to completion, and exercise authority under His guidance. This mandate, rejected through sin, was restored through Christ's sacrifice, empowering believers to fulfill their calling through repentance and a Spirit-led life. Ultimately, believers will give an account of their stewardship, as illustrated in the parable of the talents, where faithful stewardship is rewarded and unfaithfulness is punished. The parable of the talents is interpreted as a call to grow in Christ-likeness, using our gifts and weaknesses as opportunities for repentance and obedience. Repentance is seen as a gift that leads to a deeper relationship with God and a more Christ-like life. Spiritual warfare is defined as destroying spiritual obstacles that prevent the earth from coming to completeness in Christ. The “sleeping saints” are successful warriors who lack understanding of their purpose, which is to bring the earth to completion through the Genesis 1:28 mandate. Recorded December 8th, 2024
Part one of two, a vision of a spiritual battle reveals victorious saints asleep, prompting a deep reflection on the role of truth in spiritual warfare. Exploring the Genesis creation story, where God's separation of light from darkness reflects His work in the darkest parts of life. Humanity's unique connection to the earth and the divine highlights a responsibility to live in God's image and likeness, shaping our choices and relationships. Even the most difficult people (like slow drivers), reflect this divine image, reminding us to approach others with honor and humility. Recorded Sunday December 1st, 2024
We ALL have a role to play in God's kingdom, and each one is important in God's eyes. Our perception of greater and lesser roles can hinder us from becoming active participants in what He wants to do in the lives of those around us. Recorded Sunday November 10th, 2024.
This time of year, as a nation we take time to reflect and be grateful. But as believers, we should always have something to be grateful for. Recorded November 3rd, 2024.

We're instructed to love our neighbor as ourself, but it's not always as easy as that. Just how are we to love others the way He wants us to love them? Recorded Sunday, September 22nd 2024.
God has a plan and purpose for each one of us, but our world view and how we perceive those around us can affect us. Some feel they don't measure up to those around while other may think more highly of themselves. Recorded Sunday, September 15th, 2024
Worship is more than something we do on a Sunday morning. Worship demands sacrifice. Worship is a loving the Lord with our whole heart, mind and strength. Recorded Sunday, September 8th, 2024
Does your idea of Worship line up with the Word of God? Worship is more than what we do on a Sunday morning, it's a lifestyle a mindset and it demands sacrifice. Recorded September 1st, 2024.
Distraction is one of most effective tools the enemy uses against those who follow Christ. Sometimes blatant and sometimes subtle, if we're not aware and vigilant we can be distracted from God's will for our lives. Recorded Sunday, August 4th, 2024.

Faith Part 5 - Faith and Fly-fishing (Jeanie) by Gateway Church of Upstate NY
Recorded Sunday, June 16th, 2024.
If you have a need, God has already made provision to meet it! So often we are looking for a supernatural intervention when He wants to use the body of christ that is around you. The question is, will those who have been given gifts step up and be the weapon of righteousness that he calls us to be (Rom 6:12-14). Recorded June 9th, 2024
The question of identity is answering who am I? It is so important for us to have our identity firmly rooted in Christ. Who He says that we are can tear down every lie, limiting belief, and contradicting thought that would stand up against the truth. As a Child of God we have the power to take every thought and limiting belief captive and it is our inheritance to walk in freedom. Recorded Sunday June 2nd, 2024
What do you need from God? He's already provided all your needs, you just need to access what he has in the storehouse. Recorded Sunday May 26th.
