Gateway Church
Welcome to Worship with the GTWY Church Family! We began the 2020 year by learning how to be UNASHAMED of the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST! Through ALIVE, and just recently PROMISE KEEPER, we have learned multiple facets of THE GOSPEL through the 1st 11 chapters of Paul's Letter to the Romans. NOW...it's time to put all of that rich theology into practice. "Now What" is the series that will help us unpack Romans 12-16, and put this good theology into ACTION. In Romans 14, Paul began a discussion that finds some additional clarity in Chapter 15. If there are those who are "weak" in the church, how should those who are "stronger" in the faith, in their understanding of the Gospel, relate to them? Thank-you for celebrating the transformational power of God with us today, as we learn to accept one another, as Jesus has accepted us.
