"Acts: Cross the Line, Go All In" by EricBryant

"Acts: Say It Like It Is" by EricBryant

At Gateway Church in Austin, we started a series looking at the early church in the book of Acts. What if faith was never meant to be boring, but an adventure? The book of Acts is the story of ordinary people encountering an extraordinary God, and stepping into a life they never expected. It started with an invitation. To wait. To be filled. To trust God in a new way. And that invitation became an adventure; full of courage, purpose, and impact. And here’s the best part, that same invitation is still open to you. No matter where you’ve been
 or where you’re starting, there’s a place for you in the story. ACTS: The Invitation… and The Adventure.

Don’t just watch it…step into it.

"The In-Between: Heaven and Earth (Easter Sunday)" by EricBryant

"In Between Two Thieves: Good Friday" by EricBryant

At Gateway Church in Austin, we continued our new series called "The In-Between." So much of our lives are lived in the middle, somewhere between beginning and ending. There are countless places where we live “in-between” – between hope and heartbreak, between belief and doubt, between clarity and confusion. We celebrate one moment and struggle the next. We want to trust God and we still have questions. If you’ve ever felt caught in that tension, you’re not alone. Jesus understands the in-between, because He lived it. He experienced joy and sorrow, friendship and betrayal, confidence and anguish. As we prepare for Easter, we’re going to hone in on this famous week of Jesus’ life - “Holy Week” - 7 days that stretched from his arrival in Jerusalem to cheers and ended with his resurrection from the dead after crucifixion. Over the next 4 weeks, we are going to look closer at his life and experience of the “in between” and let it shine light on our in-betweens. Gateway South Austin Eric Bryant

In our world, it’s really easy to define ourselves by our relationship status or season of life; married, single, divorced, dating, starting over, starting out. Those labels can start to feel like our identity. But what if your life is bigger than your current chapter? Your identity isn’t based on your past mistakes, your current status, or what didn’t work out. It’s based on the idea that you are loved, pursued, and restored by God.And if that’s true, then no matter where you are today, your story isn’t stuck. It’s not defined by what’s broken. It’s moving toward wholeness. Gateway South Austin Dr. Eric Bryant

During the Big Game, most people consider their favorite part the commercials! There’s something we can all learn from those 30-second spots. From the way they capture attention to the messages they convey, many commercials reflect powerful truths that we can apply to our own lives. During 30 Second Theology, we treat each commercial like a modern day parable by finding the spiritual truths they bring out - even if they don't realize it. Gateway South Austin Eric Bryant

At Gateway Church in Austin, we continued our series called The Way. Following Jesus is less prescriptive and more descriptive.  We are given a general framework by the early disciples of how to live out the teachings of Jesus and follow his way.  They are simple, but not easy, they are repeatable but grow more difficult, they allow anyone who believes to choose to follow, and all who remain faithful will grow stronger over time.  We are like a tree planted by His waters, we grow strong in Him, and we become an immovable force in God’s kingdom.

"The Way - Grow" by EricBryant

We are called by God to create intentional environments for meaningful connection with Him and with each other. Formation happens not through novelty, but through repetition. Formation happens by proximity. Gathering is a countercultural act of resistance. Three Marks of Gathering 1. Center the Presence of God 2. Connect Meaningfully With Others 3. Proclaim Jesus and the Kingdom of God Gateway South Austin Eric Bryant

We’re coming out of a season of exchanges, but let’s be clear, the greatest and best exchange we can make is The Great Exchange! The one where we give up our way of doing things, our sin patterns, our personal philosophies in exchange for the work of Jesus on the cross, and his way of living. Gateway South Austin Eric Bryant

Good News! (Christmas Eve 2025) by EricBryant

We concluded our series called "Mixtape" at Gateway Church in Austin. Music has always had the power to shape the way we think, feel, and live. Every song does something to us, whether it’s the anthem that defined our teenage years, the breakup ballad that got us through heartache, or the worship song that lifted us closer to God. Lyrics carry messages. Melodies stir emotions. Rhythms embed themselves into our memories. The songs we put on repeat become more than background noise, they become the soundtrack of our lives. In this series, Mixtape: The Formative Years, we’ll explore how the music around us forms our perspective on life, love, identity, and faith. Some tracks speak lies that pull us away from God’s best, while others point us toward truth, hope, and worship. God invites us to be intentional about the soundtrack we live by. He wants to rewrite the playlist of our lives so that His Word and His presence set the rhythm for our future. Gateway South Austin Message: Eric Bryant

We concluded our series called "Beyond Scarcity" at Gateway Church in Austin. God gave us gifts to live out our calling and for the good of others, not to be buried or wasted.

"Beyond Scarcity: Time" by EricBryant

We started a new series called "Beyond Scarcity" at Gateway Church in Austin. We often live with a scarcity mindset, believing we never have enough—enough money, time, or talent. But God calls us to live differently: to trust His abundance and to walk in generosity. This series will help us see that true freedom and joy come when we open our hands and give generously of our treasure, time, and talent. Together, we will learn to live beyond scarcity and discover the blessing of generosity. Gateway South Austin Dr. Eric Bryant

There’s something powerful about coming home! In this series - Homecoming - we are realigning our hearts and minds with what is most important - faith, family, and calling. You see, home is not just a place but stepping into our purpose. We are looking at how God forms us in community, meets us in our struggles, and sends us out to make a difference. To do this, we are looking at the life of Jesus. Gateway South Austin Dr. Eric Bryant

God’s plan for the world isn’t random or chaotic. He is intentional, redemptive, and relational. Yes, people will make harmful choices. Yes, we will face hardship. But God’s ultimate purpose—to renew all things through Christ—cannot be thwarted. He is present with us, even when life feels out of control, and He promises to make things right in the end. For now, we can trust that He is over all, through all, and in all. Message - Eric Bryant Gateway South Austin

We concluded our “Sessions” at Gateway in Austin where we will sit down with the wisdom of Jesus - the ultimate Counselor - and dive into five of the most common emotional and spiritual struggles we face. Each week, we’ll explore a new “session,” not with a guru, but with the Savior who knows our hearts better than anyone else. Jesus doesn’t just offer good advice; He offers transformation. This week’s topic is overcoming anxiety and worry. Perhaps you have gone to see your doctor, your counselor, your small group leader, your pastor and have said these words: “Why Am I So Stressed?” Gateway South Austin Eric Bryant

We concluded our series on "The Power of a Story" at Gateway Church in Austin. This look at the parables of Mark 4 is part of a longer look at the Gospel of Mark. The mustard seed, known for being the smallest of all seeds, grows into a large tree. This parable holds profound lessons for us about the nature of God’s kingdom, spiritual growth, and the surprising impact of even the smallest acts of faith. The Kingdom of God is like that small mustard seed—it’s unstoppable, it’s growing, and it’s destined to become something of eternal significance. Gateway South Austin Eric Bryant

We continued our series through the Gospel of Mark at Gateway Church in Austin. Jesus uses the metaphor of a lamp to teach powerful truths about how God’s Word functions in our lives. Light is a central theme in this passage, revealing both our responsibility and privilege in how we handle and share the light of God’s truth. Message by Eric Bryant Plus, a prayer time led by Creative Arts Pastor Hannah Ojeda Gateway South Austin

At Gateway Church in Austin, we continued our series through the Gospel of Mark by focusing on Jesus' parables. Jesus shares a short but profound parable about the kingdom of God. He compares the kingdom to a seed that grows in secret, unbeknownst to the sower. The message is simple, yet it uncovers profound truths about how God’s work unfolds in ways we often cannot see. Let’s take a fresh, creative look at the parable, focusing on the mystery and beauty of growth.

We kicked off a new series called The Power of a Story as part of our journey through the Gospel of Mark at Gateway Church in Austin. Jesus tells the Parable of the Sower to reveal the various ways people respond to God. The parable not only speaks of the sowing of seed but also highlights the different conditions of the heart and how they influence spiritual growth. Here is an excerpt of the audiobook for Eric Bryant's book - Fruitful based on the Parable of the Soils. For more on the book, go to www.ericbryant.org/fruitful. Gateway South Austin Eric Bryant

In this passage, we witness the unstoppable power of Jesus’ forgiveness. Jesus isn’t just offering a one-time fix—His forgiveness shakes the earth, changes hearts, and heals lives.

Everyone has a place in His family. Gateway South Austin Eric Bryant
