Empowered Heritage (Empowered Godliness, 2/19/12)

GatewayGrace — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 18:49:38 +0000

For those of us feeling victimized, trapped or permanently wounded from a difficult family heritage, I have great news: you are not defined by your wounds or victimized by your family heritage or sin! Those in Christ have a far longer, deeper, stronger and empowering heritage to draw upon, just like Stephen did in Acts 7! – Pastor Mark

Empowered Leadership (Empowered Godliness, 2/12/12)

GatewayGrace — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:27:40 +0000

Here in Acts 6 we are given one of the clearest pictures of what a New Testament church looked like…three layers of empowered leadership, all working TOGETHER! -Pastor Mark

Empowered Warfare (Empowered Godliness, 2/05/12)

GatewayGrace — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:20:34 +0000

While we’ve explored the reality of the Kingdom of God in Empowered People, Giftings, Healing and Prayer in Acts 2, 3 and 4, the empire strikes back in Acts 5 as we see the enemy raise his ugly head in the hearts of man. This is how Empowered Warfare is factored into the sovereign parameter will of God, the free will of man, soul wounds, vows, curses, generational sin, angels, demons, healing, deliverance and more! -Pastor Mark

Empowered Prayer (Empowered Godliness, 1/29/12)

GatewayGrace — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 21:25:24 +0000

When the disciples prayed in Acts 4, it was no puny prayer! If your prayer life has seemed powerless and rote, then get a glimpse of what empowered prayer looks like that not only rocks heaven, it rocks earth as well! -Pastor Mark

Empowered Healing (Empowered Godliness, 1/22/12)

GatewayGrace — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 18:39:56 +0000

The gospel is a message of healing… all kinds of healing… and I never tire of the message! The Lord yearns to heal us emotionally, spiritually, relationally and physically, and it is ours to receive… or not! How does this work? What blocks or stifles our healing? Is there a place for doctors, medications, surgery, and therapy or not? How does the faith factor work? Well, let’s see… (Acts 3) -Pastor Mark

All Heaven Broke Loose (Empowered Godliness, 1/15/12)

GatewayGrace — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 21:55:35 +0000

When I take a walk through Acts 2, I marvel at all the ways it describes what it is like when all heaven breaks loose. In short, it is the acts of the Holy Spirit in creating empowered people, with empowered giftings with the empowered results of an empowered church! Here’s what it looks like… (Acts 2) -Pastor Mark

Where We’re Going (Empowered Godliness, 1/8/12)

GatewayGrace — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 17:18:12 +0000

Today as we launch our new name, Gateway Grace Fellowship, sbc, the Lord is also calling us to catch a vision to seriously reach out to the unchurched 95% of our population in SW Florida! How? By learning, experiencing and sharing the “empowered godliness” the Lord intends for us… and them! -Pastor Mark

Where We’ve Been (Empowered Godliness, 1/1/12)

GatewayGrace — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 17:12:35 +0000

For years I have tried to make the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day a focused time of asking the Lord about “Where I’ve Been,” and “Where We’re Going.” While I am at it, I ask Him the same thing about our church family. Let’s walk through that together in the next couple of weeks! -Pastor Mark

4. A Yearning Heart (12-25-11)

GatewayGrace — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 17:00:40 +0000

Do you ever find yourself yearning for something? Sometimes when we’re waiting for something for a long time, it’s easy to get discouraged. However, when we are waiting on Jesus, we can take comfort in knowing that thought it may take a while, He is ALWAYS faithful to meet us in our need.

3. A Trusting Heart (12-18-11)

GatewayGrace — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 21:30:25 +0000

Pastor Mark Gonzales (12-18-11) It’s one to thing feel betrayed by an acquaintance or casual friend. It’s a whole other thing and far more painful when it’s by someone close, very close to you. When Joseph got blind-sighted by his fiance’s seemingly obvious betrayal by getting pregnant, his trust level was tested to the limit!
