July 29, 2018 #forSTL // Part 4: Celebrating Others
What gets in the way of celebrating others? Easy to feel like God owes me something. Easy to grumble when others are being celebrated. It was the older son's self-righteousness that separated him from the father. Need to celebrate anytime someone who is lost finds a relationship with God. Inability to celebrate others is a warning sign one is drifting from the heart of God.

July 22, 2018 #forSTL // Part 3: Welcome Others to a Life Changing Faith
How can we in the Church relate to the Father?
God loves in a prodigal way, a way that is extravagant. Jesus came to change our minds about God. God longs for hurt and broken people to come home. Our heart should align with the Father's and be bent towards the people outside the church.

July 16, 2018 ForSTL // Pt. 2 // Lost Coin // Rev. Matt Miofsky
When The Gathering started a little over a decade ago, we strived to create a church that makes a difference in people’s lives. Since then, we’ve seen God do some truly amazing things in the lives of the people here. They have found community, hope, and purpose for their lives. And because of that, the futures of many look markedly different now that God is in their life. In fact, we don’t just want God to change our lives, we want that for everyone in St. Louis.

July 15, 2018 #forSTL // Part 2: Paying Attention to Others
How much effort do we put into the people who aren't here?
The way we care about our possessions is how God cares about his people. God wants us to also care this much about people. The Church exists for those outside the church. Too many approach the church as consumers. The church is not here just to serve us. Pay attention to those around you.

July 08, 2018 #forSTL // Part 1: We Don't Exist for Ourselves
Who is the Church for? As a church we exist for others, not for ourselves. God cares deeply about those who are lost. In some ways all of us are lost. It is easy to feel like the church isn't for me. All of us, at one point, felt far away from God.
