Lifegate Church Podcast

Throughout its history, the church hasn’t always embraced miracles. And at other times, it has welcomed miracles, but the miracles didn’t matter because the church was a mess. If we look back at the church at its birth, we can find key insights for how to become a church where miracles happen and they matter.

When talking about the supernatural, we can’t just talk about God, but we also have to acknowledge that there are other spiritual forces at work in our world. But the good news is that those in Jesus can walk in authority and victory in the midst of a spiritual battle.

Healing prayer often comes with all kinds of emotional and spiritual baggage. The mystery of how and when God heals has caused both hope and despair for so many. Let’s dive into the mystery to better understand God’s heart for healing.

Many approach the idea of miracles with an all or nothing attitude – either everything is a miracle, or nothing is. In this message, we’ll unpack what a miracle is, what a miracle isn’t, and why they sometimes happen.

There are plenty of life hacks out there to make us better and stronger. But when it comes to accessing spiritual strength, Scripture offers an often-overlooked life hack.

We know this- when it comes to our nuclear families, but we often don't think about it in the same way when it comes to the family of God. Did you know, if you're in Jesus, if He is Lord and Savior of your life, you are a part of a bigger family? One that is global, & more eternal than the family sitting right next to you. It is a family, connected by the Holy Spirit, that's designed to help us go through the stuff of life together.

 The core element of Christian belief isn’t a spiritual revelation given by one man, group or culture. But, it’s a historical event that carried world-changing and life-altering spiritual significance.

Although God mysteriously reveals Himself in many ways in Scripture, His clearest revelation if through Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. 

 This message will help us understand how believing “The Father as Creator” shapes our thoughts and actions related to some of the most hotly debated issues of our day.

So much of how we think and live begins with what we believe. In this series, we’ll deep dive into our beliefs and go back in time to see how they align with the earliest Christians.

We all have grave clothes and the only way out of them is by receiving the forgiveness that God offers.

In this forgiveness series we are learning that our future will be determined by our capacity to forgive and in this talk, we will discover that our capacity to forgive will be determined by our willingness to receive the forgiveness of God. Are we willing? Here’s how you can be. 

Forgiveness is more than learned behavior or good social etiquette. True forgiveness requires a supernatural exchange between us and God, which then gives us the capacity to forgive others from our heart.

History is clear that without forgiveness there is no future – for nations, for relationships, or for personal wholeness. We’ll begin this series addressing the false forms of forgiveness that we often embrace, which leave us paralyzed in the pain of our past. And, we’ll point to a better way forward that promises a brighter tomorrow.

The genius of living invitationally, as Jesus did, is that it’s not forced or fake. It’s actually pretty familiar. And as we follow him, we’ll discover that the familiar becomes our field. 

In a world that’s divided and increasingly isolated, it’s time we recover Jesus’ very ordinary method for sharing good news with others.

In our world followers of Jesus are often seen as extreme, judgmental and hypocritical.That description couldn’t be further from the abundant Life Jesus produces in a personwho knows and follows Him. In this series called Invitational Living we start with anopportunity to become positively and contagiously questionable expressions of Jesusand the Good New of His Kingdom! 

Evangelism seems to have a bad rap these days, but the best way forward isn’t abandoning the Great Commission. Maybe if we recovered the beauty of the good news, it wouldn’t be so hard to hear.

To be a wholehearted people, it will require us to prioritize the Spirit-filled and Spirit-led life. Let’s discover what that is and how to live it.

As we kick off our vision for 2024, we’ll learn about the often-overlooked reason Jesus gives us for fasting.
