HopeGateWay episodes

  • Enough
    Do you ever worry that you don't have enough? Does it feel like life would be better with more--more money, more stuff, more security, or more control? During our stewardship series this fall, we'll challenge fear and a scarcity mindset. What if there's enough for all? What if we're enough? When we believe that the world is a place of plenty rather than a place of scarcity, the world can be transformed. Simplicity is one of our Core Values at HopeGateWay, and during this series we will look into the meaning of that value through the lens of economic inequality, living within our means, and generosity. Join us for this series as we seek to be more faithful with our personal resources for the sake of the community and for the sake of the world.

  • Non-Toxic Christianity: The Idol of Christian Unity
    Today we are celebrating 10 Years as a Reconciling Congregation. We and other congregations are a part of a network of communities who even though we are in the United Methodist system have declared that we stand outside its oppressive policies. So it’s not all celebration.
