Why would God need a partner? Is he running low on cash? Has his ideas well run dry? Maybe God's energy levels are flagging? Obviously, none of those answers makes sense. Yet, God clearly shows us he wants us to partner with him in this Great Venture. What is the venture and how real is the partnership? Those are the questions we answer in this message from the series "CSI: Who Are We?"

Once again, we couldn't adjust the maximum volume on this recording. But if you turn it down yourself, it should be fine. This message is the third one in the series "CSI: Who Are You". Having established that humans are free-choosing creations of God and that all of us have a conscience that is enough for us to be moral agents, now we have to figure out what can be done when our free choice messes us up and our consciences won't stop reminding us that we are in trouble. Here is the answer: We are Atoned For.

Pastor Ray Van Gilst shares with the Men's Ministry  of Gateway Fellowship at this summer barbecue. He shares the truth found in Matthew 19 and the story of forgiveness ... both forgiveness offered and received. This message is for more than just men...but it is given to men because God calls men to lead the way in spiritual skills.

One of the twentieth century's most influential atheists stated that his primary criticism of the church is that it assumes that only believers in God have moral values. He claimed that everyone has basic moral values. Perhaps he thought he was being original, but actually the book of Romans says exactly the same thing. In this second message in the series on "Who Are We" we explore the nature of all human beings as moral agents.

NOTE: We apologize for the quality problems on this recording. It was recorded accidentally at highest volume. We have tried to fix this afterwards, but it makes the entire podcast sound distorted. You may want to lower your volume to listen also.

CSI always starts with Roger Daughtry singing "Who are You". That's how we start this sermon series: "Who are you?" This message is the first in the series where we focus on who we are as human beings. Basic, simple understanding is often hard to come by...so this is where we start.

Two and a half years ago, Gateway Fellowship planted a new church in Roseville which is affectionately referred to as G2; (they actually refer to us affectionately as G1). The pastor of that church, Mike Marczak delivers this message as he speaks from Hebrews 10. This is part sermon and part testimony to what God has done in G2.
