Gateway's mid-week opportunities have begin for the fall semester, but it is not too late to join us! There are opportunities for all ages on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 p.m.
For the fall semester, we have three small group studies available on-campus for adults:
FOR ANYONE - PRAYER
Facilitated by Will & Lara O'Kelley
Gym Building, Room 1
This group is for anyone in any stage of life! If you would like to grow in personally knowing the Lord more, this group is for you. We will begin each week with a time to praise the Lord together as we focus our heart and minds on Him. Our discussion time will be based on Tim Keller's book Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy With God. It will be a tool to help us look at the Scriptures as we grow in understanding God's invitation to us to pray. However, the best way to grow in enjoying prayer is to pray with one another! We will set aside time each week to pray together. Come join us as we pursue the Lord together and grow in community with one another as we do so.
FOR WOMEN - LEVITICUS
Facilitated by Karen Fowler
Gym Building, Room 2
Leviticus, really? Who studies Leviticus? This fall, we will! Leviticus is the heart of the Torah in which God teaches His people about holiness. They also learn that God wants them to be different from their neighbors so that they will want to know Him too. Peter, Paul, and Jesus regard Scripture in Leviticus important enough to quote in the New Testament. Its message is worthy for us to study today. Ladies, come discover the depth of Leviticus and be fascinated to see its significance in the New Testament as well. We will utilize a video series from James Michael Smith for our teaching time. He not only teaches the Old Testament, he also shows how it makes the New Testament sparkle when Scriptural, historical, and cultural context brings it to life! In addition to the video teaching, we will have a lot of time to search the Scriptures and discuss them together each week in our group. We will provide each of you with a copy of the ESV Leviticus Scripture journal to help you as you study this book with us.
FOR MEN - GOSPEL TREASON
Facilitated by Grady Smith & William Foxx
Gym Building, Room 4
Men, have you discovered that it is harder for you to change and grow as a Christian than you would like it to be? Have you ever considered that what is holding you back actually is idolatry? We will use the book Gospel Treason by Brad Bigney to help us look at Scripture to discover the hidden idols of our hearts that are hindering our walk with God. However, we want to do more than just identify our idols. We want to learn to repent of them and run to Jesus each day. In addition to our book discussion each night, we will have time to pray with and for one another as we build community and encourage each other in our pursuit of Christ. While this group is facilitated by Grady Smith and William Foxx on our elder team, different men in the group have the opportunity each week to enjoy leading our discussion times.
In addition to these studies, our Gateway Kids Ministry and Youth Ministry continue their mid-week Bible studies at the same time: There is something for everyone on Wednesday evenings at Gateway!
