This is a very unusual message. Members of our Encuentro Hispano ministry here at Gateway joined us for the service. Pastor Ken translated as Pastor Mike preaches. This is the 8th message in the series on "CSI: Who Are We" and features the concept of freedom and how we are called to use our Freedom for maximum spiritual advantage

This message is the seventh in the series "CSI: Who are We?" From the outset, mankind has made two mistakes when it comes to transforming our lives to become moral. First, we develop systems where we do it all ourselves - pull ourselves up by our bootstraps - systems where God is not necessary. These generally do not work, and even when they do the changes are cosmetic. The second mistake is to just ask God to change us without any involvement in the change on man's part. This does not work because it means that our choice is not involved. This message goes into detail about how transformation really works and what a church looks like when it makes Transformation one of its priorities.

This is the sixth message in the series "CSI: Who are We?" We have already established that God created us, that he helped us work through the issue of sin and the awful way we think about ourselves and others. We learned that we are his partners. Then we focused on who Gateway Fellowship is. Pastor Rick showed from the Bible that we are a Diversifying Fellowship. Pastor Larry shows in this message that we are an Equipping Community.

We live in a diverse community and our church should reflect that diversity.  Hear what Pastor Rick has to say about achieving that from Ephesians 2:11-22.
