Shepherd's Gate Church

Planning for the new year usually includes a list of goals reached and goals lost for the current year and an ambitious list of resolutions and goals for the new year. What's the list look like for you? What's it look like for Shepherd's Gate? What is God's resolution for us in 2025? You may be surprised to learn how simple is really is.

You're invited to experience Christmas at Shepherd's Gate! This year, we're focusing on angels, specifically the angel Gabriel, and what we can learn from his story. Everyone is welcome to join us as we celebrate Christmas together. If you're seeking a fresh perspective on Christmas and your own faith journey, this is the moment—come share it with us!

Simeon and Anna may appear briefly in the Christmas story, but for them, it was the fulfillment of a lifetime of waiting. They waited patiently and held onto a promise that they would see the Savior, Jesus, with their own eyes before they died. Discover how prophecy is still alive today and how it plays a part in our lives.

The Christmas Story is full of miracles that seem almost magical in hindsight. Let's take a closer look at Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist—two women through whom God did the impossible. See how the same God who worked in their lives still does the impossible today, bringing amazing things to us as well.

There are few topics more personal to us than our identity. How do we define ourselves? Does anyone have the right to tell us who we are? In Biblical times, names had important meanings and your name was often part of your identity. We may think there are things about us that will never change...but with God it is possible, even if He must give us a new name!

It's difficult to talk about the horrible ways people sometimes treat each other. However, it's important to consider how God wants us to deal with injustice. Join us as we see what God says about these difficult issues.

Why do we let fractured relationships linger so long? Is it pride or stubborness? Fear? Plain old laziness? God teaches us the power of forgiveness to heal broken relationships in the story of Jacob and his brother Esau. But it's ultimately just pointing to the way God forgives us all.
