We're a 21st Century with a 21st Century Message!
At last!! God has directed us to start an exciting new church. Gateway is a church designed for those who have given up on traditional church services! We have learned that many people aren’t actively attending church these days. The reasons are obvious:
o The church services are too long and boring.
o Sermons are not relevant to you.
o You feel out of place.
o Members are unfriendly.
o Money seems to be the primary interest.
Not at Gateway Church GATEWAY CHURCH
Sincerely,
Loyd and Patricia Johnson
Lead Pastors

Whose Glory?
Read Acts 11:1 through 13:52
Cliff was a wonderful speaker and Bible teacher, but he was proud. He permitted people to praise him instead of directing their praise to God. His wife, Sarah, was concerned because of what Scripture teaches. She held him up in prayer.
They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.” Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died (Acts 12:22,23).
As the apostles did miracles, always they directed people’s praise to God.
The Jewish historian Josephus said Herod dressed himself in shining silver clothes to appear as a heavenly being. In A.D.44 Herod accepted the title of divinity and praise belonging only to God, and God killed him. Herod suffered five days of terrible pain before he died. Here we see a great truth taught throughout the Bible, trusting in God leads to life, but pride and love of self leads to death.
Thought for Today: All praise belongs to God. Any good trait or talent we have is because of His mercy to us and our praise is due to Him for it.
Quicklook: Acts 12:17–25
