A new sermon series! Chris freestyles a sermon (with the help of the holy spirit), taking lessons from David's life.

Chris looks at 1 Corinthians 9:24,25, where Paul compares the passing glory which athletes hope to gain in the olympics with the eternal glory which God offers us.

Sam finishes our series in Acts by looking at the main point of the book.

As we give thanks to God for some of the children who have been born in Gateway recently, Chris looks at some parenting points from the story of the prodigal son, and how ultimately God is our perfect father.

Chris takes us through Acts 27, in which Paul is journeying to Rome.

In Acts 26, Paul shares his own testimony of how he became a follower of Jesus. Amie looks at how in sharing his own story, Paul shares Jesus' story, and seeks to impact the stories of others.

Dave looks at how our thinking in everyday life affects our actions, and how Paul encourages us to shape our thinking in Philippians 4.

David looks at three temptations that Paul has to overcome in Acts 24 to stand up for Jesus.

In Acts 23, it's clear that Paul knows and lives out God's word. Chris challenges whether the same is true for us.

Chris gives a monologue from the perspective of Paul, giving a summary of his life.

Paul looks at the apostle Paul's obedience to the Holy Spirit in going to Jerusalem, for the sake of the gospel.

Paul talks about singleness as a gift from God. Faye unpacks what this means for us, and shares from her own experience.

Jon looks at three things that can hold us back from trusting in God's grace.

Some of the community groups of Gateway share their thoughts from Acts 20.

Acts 19 - David looks at how the power of the Holy Spirit brings transformation.

The book of Acts describes Paul's wide and varied relationships, ranging from father figures (such as Barnabas) to foes and all sorts in between. Here in Acts 18 Chris explores some of these relationships - including the key one, fellowship with the Holy Spirit

From Acts 17, Chris looks at how we can be factually, socially and culturally aware when sharing Jesus with others.

After a "sharp disagreement" between Paul and Barnabas at the end of the previous chapter, in Acts 16 we see Paul & Silas beaten & thrown into jail after having been hassled by a demon-possessed woman. Tough stuff, but this chapter still oozes with joy, as Dave explains.

Dan looks at how we can wrongly rule out people from God's grace, and challenges us that all people can come to God because of Jesus.

In Acts 14 we find Paul in the city of Lystra where he is almost stoned to death, but miraculously he gets up and goes back into the city. How? Why? And what can we draw from this story to apply to our own lives today?

David explores part of Acts 13 for us - where Jesus' words, "You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the Earth", really start to take off - and the continuing work of the Holy Spirit.

Sam looks at how God uses the church's childlike prayer in Acts 12, and how we need to pray in a similar way.

Chris shows 18 ways in which God can talk to us from Acts 11.

Dave explores the chapter where the good news of Jesus is first spread beyond the Jewish church, and has a few words to say about how God has planned who will hear the gospel since the beginning of time.

Chris looks at seven Christians who God calls to use their gifts in Acts 9.

Geoff and Hilary speak to us about the supernatural events of Acts Chapter 8 and with examples from their own experience, demonstrate that the Holy Spirit is still very much active today

Chris looks at how the Holy Spirit helps us to 'see' Jesus, to 'salivate' for Him, and to 'show' Him to others.

Several members of Gateway Church perform a half-hour-long courtroom drama where the evidence for Jesus' death and resurrection is debated. Members of the jury - every man, woman and child - are invited to consider the evidence and make their own judgement.

David looks at three points from Acts 6: serving the poor, conflict in the church, and our need for the holy spirit.

Chris Frost looks at the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1-11, and Chris Boxall takes us through the rest of the chapter.

Chris looks at Acts chapter 4 - and how, despite a lack of training or experience, the early disciples achieved amazing things for God. A challenge for Christians in the 21st Century, perhaps?

In Acts 3, Peter and John heal a lame man. Chris looks at what we can learn from this passage about our priorities as a church.

Sam unpacks the famous chapter about Pentecost with trips back to the Old Testament thrown in for good measure.

The full title of this talk is the catchy "The explosive unstoppable sovereign power of God the Holy Spirit to reach the ends of the earth for the name of Jesus"!

Chris wraps up the first half of our Year With The Doctor series with a look at the 24th and final chapter of the book of Luke. In this talk Chris discusses how desperate Jesus' followers felt after his crucifixion and how that relates to us today.

Our guest speaker Daniel is associate director of St Barnabas' Theological Centre in Sheffield, with a PhD in Biblical Studies (specialising, coincidentally, in Acts!). He opens the second phase of our Year with the Doctor with an overview of the world in which the book of Acts was written, describing a society very similar to our own in a lot of ways...

Note: Daniel also delivered two further sessions providing an overview of the book of Acts and how some of its theology applies to the church today; these can be downloaded here :

Session 1

Session 2

Dave takes us through Luke 23, asking the question where are we in the account of Jesus' crucifixion.

David looks at how Jesus is in control, God is sovereign, and scripture is fulfilled in Luke 22.

Chris avoids the traditional interpretation of this passage as referring to the End of the World, and gives an alternative, based on the 1st Century Jewish context Jesus was speaking in.

In a special slot to open 2016, five 20/30-somethings preach for the first time on Luke chapter 20 where Jesus takes on the Pharisees and Sadducees. (The positively elderly Chris Frost wraps up!)
