The Bible has been the most influential book in history, but it has also been misunderstood, misinterpreted, and even used for the agenda of people who did not have the heart of God or were a product of their times. Regardless of where you are in your spiritual journey or what doubts you might have, I believe God will reveal Himself to you. So join me in an experiment! 1. Pray: "God, if you are real, show me who you are." Or "God, I need help to believe in you." 2. Read one chapter. 3. Listen to the podcast of that chapter. 4. Journal what you sense God is showing you.

    Acts 16 - How Do You Respond When Your Plans Fall Apart?

    Acts 16 - How Do You Respond When Your Plans Fall Apart? with Carlos Oritz, Jrs., senior pastor at Gateway Church in Austin Acts 16 continues Paul and his companion Silas travel to Asia, but the Spirit of God stops them. Paul has an open heart and open mind eventually sensing God guiding them to Macedonia. They come to a city called Philippi, where they meet a woman named Lydia, who is a worshiper of God. As Paul speaks to her and the other women gathered by the river, Lydia's heart is opened, and she and her household are baptized. While in Philippi, Paul and Silas encounter a slave girl who has a spirit of divination and Paul casts out the spirit in the name of Jesus. This upsets the girl's owners, who seize Paul and Silas and bring them before the authorities. They accuse them of disturbing the city and promoting customs that are not lawful for Romans. As a result, Paul and Silas are beaten and thrown into prison. However, while they are praying and singing hymns, an earthquake shakes the prison, opening all the doors and loosening their chains. The jailer, fearing the prisoners have escaped, is about to take his own life when Paul stops him and assures him that they are all still there. The jailer is deeply moved by this and asks Paul what he must do to be saved. Paul and Silas share the message of Jesus with him and his household, and they all believe and are baptized. #newtestament #faith #jesus #christianity #outreach #mission #bless #diversity #miracles #demons #exorcism #household #spirituality

    Acts 15 - How Do You Face the Tension?

    Acts 15 - How Do You Face Tension? With Adrien Ropert from Gateway Buda A significant meeting takes place among early Christian leaders. Some are teaching that non-Jewish believers need to follow Jewish customs, such as circumcision, in order to be saved. This causes confusion and controversy within the early Christian community. The apostles and elders gather in Jerusalem to address this issue. During the meeting, the apostle Peter spoke, affirming that God accepts non-Jewish believers by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He had done with the Jewish believers. Paul and Barnabas share stories of how God has worked among the Gentiles through their ministry. James, the leader of the Jerusalem church, concludes the discussion by suggesting that they should not burden the Gentile believers with unnecessary regulations but instead give them basic guidelines to follow such as to abstain from certain pagan practices, such as idol worship, sexual immorality, and eating meat sacrificed to idols. #newtestament #acts #outreach #jesus #faith #spirituality #christianity

    Acts 14 - How Do You Love People When They’re Hard to Love? with Phil Wright, a former Gateway Austin spiritual overseer Paul and Barnabas are in Iconium teaching about Jesus. Great numbers believe Paul’s compelling message, but some reject it. Not satisfied to simply disagree, they spread poisonous rumors and plot to harm Paul and Barnabas. Thankfully they escape unharmed and continue to teach about Jesus and heal in His name. The religious establishment stir up the crowd against them. They stone Paul and drag him outside town, leaving him for dead. Amazingly, Paul returns to the very people who brutally stoned him! #newtestament #jesus #faith #spirituality #starthere
