Gateway Church Austin
Summary: Come as you are. Gateway is a non-denominational church meeting in Austin, Texas, and we're not interested in people pretending to be something they're not. We believe that God takes us "as is". From there we'll help each other grow to be all God intended us to be. Here you'll find relevant talks without the churchy jargon. And, if you're in the Austin area we'd love for you to come hang out with us at one of our two locations... check out the site - www.gatewaychurch.com for locations and times. Oh, and don't worry about dressing up... we won't.

Special Topic: Game Day. OK, it's the SuperBowl today... some of us care, some don't, but you all gotta admit it's not easy to win... the SuperBowl, or in life. So, what's the point? Let's find out. (speaker: Rick Shurtz)
Well, 2006 is behind us and it was a big year here at Gateway. In 2007 we want to be an epicenter of God's work here in Austin and rippling out around the world. And here's the plan. (speaker: John Burke)
Conflict is a fact of life... But there's a big difference between fighting well and, well... not. God tells us to expect conflict, and He also tells us how to deal with it. (speaker: John Burke)
Sometimes our fights turn ugly. Sometimes they start that way. When we "hit below the belt" it doesn't go away. How can we stop playing dirty and avoid getting hit. (speaker: John Burke)
Let's face it, we fight, argue and avoid. Conflict is all around us. One of the worst things we could do, though, is avoid it. Let's see what the bible has to say about getting us into the ring. (speaker: John Burke)
How'd you do with last year's resolutions? Really? They didn't stick? That's weird! Maybe we should be trying something different? (speaker: Rick Shurtz)
Christmas '06. Look around us... the news, our movies, tv and music... everything about us is crying out for help. Just look at all the super-hero movies! What if the answer to our call for help is here? (speaker: John Burke)
Getting ready for Christmas can bring up some tough family stuff. If God wants us to honor our family, even when they don't honor us, we're gonna need some help. And what do you say about Aunt Ginny's fruitcake? (speaker: Ted Beasley)
We're all looking. Even if we won't admit it. Looking for someone to even things out, take evil out back and give it a one-two punch. So, who you gonna call? (speaker: John Burke)
We're called to help each other and make the world better. But sometimes our lives, or the lives of people that we love seem hopeless... What can we do?
Poverty and injustice are all around us, all over the world and frankly, in our own backyard. We may even be a part of it, one side or the other. What are we supposed to do about it? What can we do about it?
We live in a divided world. Race, religion and on and on. We segregate and are segregated... intentional or not, we're a part of the problem... what can we do to be a part of the solution?
Our actions create ripples throughout our world. Here's what we want ours to do. (speaker: John Burke)
Our last week on prayer, and let's face it, one of the hardest... when you pray, sometimes things just don't turn out the way you hoped for... sometimes nothing happens... sometimes the opposite. What gives? (speaker: Ted Beasley)
Ever talk to God and not hear anything back? No voice? Join the club. If you've quit praying over this, listen up. (speaker: Rick Shurtz)
