Science has determined that many of the same chemical changes which happen when a person falls in love correspond to the changes found in sufferers with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Schizophrenia. When all of our emotional connections to people can be explained by chemical phenomena, it is difficult to see the moral significance of our actions. That is why the Bible introduces a new kind of love, a love that cannot be explained by any chemical reactions or human emotions. This kind of love cannot be found in those with mental illness: it is Perfect Love.

There are many groups of people with whom we may feel some level of affinity and friendship. We certainly may feel very close to those we share a disaster with for instance. People in the same college course may often spend time together, and even fans at a basketball game can feel close to one another as long as they are close enough to the arena. But there is something about the people of God that goes way beyond all of this. The affinity we have is based upon a person and a changed life that we all share. Come learn about the People of Love in this first message in the series titled "Who Wrote the Book of Love".

At Gateway Fellowship, we have always celebrated all the women in our church on Mother's Day and not just the mothers. In this message, we look at the very first mother in this world (and very first woman for that matter) to determine the challenges she faced when sin came into the world. What we discover is that those challenges are essentially no different than what most women face today.

The second fastest selling book on Amazon right now is "The Most Dangerous Book for Boys". Essentially, it is a book that explains how to teach boys basic dangerous skills such as climbing a tree, making a go-kart, playing with a Jackknife and talking to girls. Each of these skills is best learned by one-on-one mentoring. In the same way, God gives us many hands-on exercises and examples of how He taught people to hear His voice. In this final message in the series on Hearing God we will explore how four people, from totally different walks of life, were able to hear God. We will also see what they can teach us about reacting to what we hear.

So many times we are asking ourselves, "would things have gone differently for me if I had heard from God before making that decision." In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus spent his last night on earth asking his Father about the events ahead of him. He tried to get his disciples to join him in digging in to the mind of the Lord before the momentous events. They chose sleep instead. This message focuses on how not to fall asleep when God is trying to help us with input.
