Lifegate Church Podcast

Even after we understand the real meaning of grace, we often find ourselves still working to earn it, deserve it, or grasp it from God. But Scripture tells us grace comes not from effort, but through faith. Let’s learn how choosing faith so we can receive grace.

Grace is something we desperately want to receive, but we rarely want to give. It’s been misunderstood by many inside the Church and missed out on altogether, by those outside. We’ll spend the next several weeks discovering what grace really is, how to receive it and how to give it away. 

To run our life race, God calls us fix our eyes/lives on Jesus in order to fulfill our purpose of establishing His Kingdom in the hearts of women and men through His love flowing through us! But, unless we stay hydrated we will not run long nor will we run well. What is spiritual hydration, why is it important and how do we experience it? This talk will begin your hydration experience, if you let it. 

Guest Speaker Lisa Bevere brings a Special Message.

Effort is an important aspect in any worthy endeavor. And while we don’t earn our salvation, we are called by Jesus to put in some effort as we run the race He’s marked out for us.

We’re kicking off a series to address some of life’s biggest questions: Why am I here? Where am I going? What should I do along the way? Scripture uses the imagery of a race, to help us discover the answers to these questions. Let’s learn how to run the race marked out for us with freedom and fruitfulness.

True freedom isn’t found in striving but in receiving the transformation only God can give. Jacob spent his life fighting—grasping for control, running from his past, and wrestling with who he was. But one encounter with God changed everything. Like Jacob, we often resist surrender because we don’t fully see who God says we are.

Science reveals that giving is like a drug. We get an emotional high from giving, it creates a positive relational bond with those to whom we give and it can even be addictive! So why don’t we all do it more? Our resistance to giving is often rooted in our lack of freedom. Let’s learn how God set us free, so that we can freely give away what He’s given us.

Jesus didn’t offer us freedom from afar, but he won our freedom by making his dwelling among us. And now as His followers, we not only benefit from his redemptive move, but we’re called to do the same for others.

The year of Jubilee is one of the most significant and inspiring concepts we see in Scripture. The promise that debts will be cancelled for the good others isn’t just what Jesus eventually did for us, but what we’re called to do for one another.

It’s pretty common to settle for second best, especially when we aren’t aware of anything better. Jesus arrived to offer us something better, in every area of life. Let’s learn how to move past second best and set our eyes on something better.

Freedom is the core cry of every heart. And while we search tirelessly for a measure of freedom through institutions, the right lifestyle, or a better mental state, Scripture invites us to the only trustworthy path to find true freedom.

Ever wonder what God is like? Jesus came to answer that question in a way that doesn’t just satisfy, but that strikes wonder in the hearts of all who wonder.

Even in a world that seems to be drifting from God, Jesus’ name and story keep showing back up. Why is it that Jesus still captures our attention today?

One of the most awe and wonder inspiring things to observe in the story of Jesus is the progressive revelation his disciples have that he is actually God! Yes Rabbi, Yes Prophet, Yes healer, but God? YES! Is it possible to have the same revelation today and if we did, what impact would it have on our lives? Experiencing Emmanuel will not only answer this question but will invite you to actually experience Emmanuel, yourselves.
