Christmas reminds us that God’s promises are not forgotten — they are fulfilled. In this message, Lauren Lucas reflects on the promise of a King foretold by the prophet Isaiah and revealed in the birth of Jesus. This King is unlike any earthly ruler. He came close, chose to dwell with His people, and invites us to approach Him with confidence. As we consider Jesus’ eternal kingdom, we’re invited to pause, reflect, and ask this question: How am I approaching King Jesus?If you need prayer, we're here for you.

When life leaves us shaken by fear, anxiety, broken promises, sickness, family tensions or financial pressure, can we really trust God to keep His promises? In this sermon, we trace the story of King Ahaz, Israel, Assyria and the coming Messiah, and see how God proves Himself to be a promise-keeping God who gives strength to stand firm in the fight and a word of hope in season. We explore what it means to listen to God’s story, not the story in our head, and how Jesus’ birth, death and resurrection confirm that every promise of God finds its “Yes” in Him.

Lauren Lucas looks at Jonah 4 and the three confronting questions God asks Jonah that expose a misaligned heart:

- Are we more consumed with our own comfort than concerned for God’s kingdom?

- What makes us angry?

- Are we avoiding the conversations God is trying to have with us?

As we explore Jonah’s anger, God’s compassion, and His heart for a whole city, we’re invited to let the Holy Spirit realign our hearts with God’s heart and believe again for revival, reconciliation and a great awakening in our families, our communities and our nation.

Jonah’s story reminds us that God is a God of second chances, that no one is beyond His reach, and that He delights in using imperfect people to share His message. With nothing but eight simple words, Jonah walked into the great city of Nineveh, and God sparked one of the greatest spiritual revivals in Scripture.

When life feels overwhelming, when you can’t see a way forward, and when you don’t even have the words to pray, God hears your cry in the dark.

In this message by Jason Elsmore from Jonah 2, we’re reminded that no prayer goes unheard in heaven and no person is ever unseen by God.

What would it look like if our whole church prioritised the next generation? In this message from our Honour series, Youth Pastor Ben Dainton shares four practical ways we can help kids, teens and young adults meet Jesus and grow strong in faith.

On Grandparents’ Day, at Gateway Susan Elsmore reminds that getting older is not about becoming irrelevant but about embracing the privilege of passing on wisdom, faith, and encouragement to those coming after us. In this message, we explore why honour matters, how authenticity builds trust, what it means to be a non-anxious presence in an anxious generation, why we should celebrate the next generation even in their learning, and how faithful prayer leaves a lasting spiritual legacy. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, mentor, or friend, this message invites you to live a life worth following.
