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.

God is still speaking, but are we listening? In this message from Jonah 1, Andrew Sercombe unpacks three common ways God speaks today - through His Word, through others, and through the storms we face.

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.

In this message from the Honour Series, Tim and Lauren Lucas share openly about the challenges and beauty of marriage in a culture that often revolves around “me.” Together they explore what it means to honour one another in love, through conflict, and even in intimacy. Whether you are married, single, divorced, or longing for marriage, this message points us all to the selfless love of Jesus that transforms relationships, restores hope, and calls us to put others above ourselves.

Kick starting our Honour series, Andrew Mayne explores what it means to value and affirm one another as members of the body of Christ. Looking at Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12, we see how God calls us not to compete but to compliment each other, to treat every person with dignity and worth, and to live as contributors rather than consumers in His church. True honour flows from humility - lifting others up, celebrating their wins, and sharing their burdens so that together we flourish and Jesus’ name is lifted high.

In this message, Jason Elsmore looks at Revelation 13 and the imagery of the beasts, reminding us that this often-feared chapter was never written to terrify but to encourage. Using the lens of apocalyptic literature, he shows how the dragon, the beasts, and their mark represent powers that oppose God, both in the Roman Empire and in every generation. Jason challenges us to ask: Who will you worship? Whose mark do you carry?
