GATEWAY CHURCH: Shelbyville

The early church didn't change the world because they had better technology.They changed the world because they lived differently.In this message, we conclude our journey Through the Bible by exploring the birth of the Church and the letters of the New Testament. From Acts to Jude, we discover what made the first Christians so impactful—and why those same truths still matter today.Using passages from Acts, Matthew 28, John 16, Ephesians 2, Colossians 2, and 2 Corinthians 4, we explore:• The difference between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant• How 120 ordinary believers became a global movement• Why every Christian needs the power of the Holy Spirit• The importance of biblical community and spiritual leadership• Why sound doctrine matters in a culture driven by feelings• How living on mission transforms ordinary lives• Why the hope of heaven gave the early church unshakable courage• What it looks like to be the Church todayThis message isn't just about the first Christians.It's about the next ones.The same Holy Spirit still fills believers.The same mission still stands.The same Gospel still changes lives.If we want to experience what the early church experienced, we need to do what the early church did.“Go and make disciples of all the nations…” — Matthew 28:19

The Gospel isn't about what you do for God.It's about what God has done for you.In this message, we continue our journey Through the Bible by arriving at the greatest news in human history: Jesus Christ. After centuries of promises, sacrifices, prophets, and waiting, God stepped into our world to accomplish what humanity never could.Using passages from Matthew 1, John 1, Ephesians 2, Romans 8, Hebrews 4, and Galatians 2, we explore:• Why the entire Old Testament points to Jesus• What it means that "the Word became flesh"• How Jesus fulfilled hundreds of Old Testament prophecies• Why Jesus is the perfect and final sacrifice for sin• The difference between earning salvation and receiving grace• Why faith—not performance—makes us right with God• How the Gospel frees us from shame, fear, and condemnation• What it means to boldly approach God's throne of graceThis message isn't just about the birth of Jesus.It's about the reason He came.The Gospel isn't good advice.It's good news.Jesus lived the life we could never live.He died the death we deserved.He took the blame for our lives so that we could receive the righteousness that belongs to Him."There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." — Romans 8:1

Revival doesn't begin with a crowd.It begins with a desperate heart.In this message, we're challenged to rediscover the kind of hunger that God responds to. Through the story of Hannah and the call of the Great Commission, we're reminded that revival isn't sustained by emotion—it's sustained by people who refuse to lose their desperation for God's presence.Using passages from 1 Samuel, Matthew 28, Deuteronomy 8, and Mark 4, we explore:• Why desperation is the birthplace of revival• How comparison and competition distract us from God's purpose• The danger of becoming comfortable after God blesses us• Why God's blessings should increase our intimacy with Him—not replace it• What it means to carry the presence of God into everyday life• Why the Great Commission is a calling, not a suggestion• How spiritual hunger produces boldness, faith, and obedienceThis message isn't just about revival services.It's about becoming the kind of person who carries revival wherever God sends you.The enemy isn't always trying to destroy your faith.Sometimes he's simply trying to satisfy you enough that you stop pursuing God.Don't let comfort replace hunger.Don't let blessing replace dependence.Stay desperate for the presence of God."People who are desperate are people who are dangerous."

Following God has never depended on living in the right place.It has always depended on having the right heart.In this message, we continue our journey Through the Bible by following God's people through exile. Jerusalem has fallen. The Temple has been destroyed. Israel has been carried into Babylon. Yet even in a foreign land, God continues to raise up faithful men and women to accomplish His purposes.Using passages from Daniel, Ezekiel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, and 1 Peter, we explore:• Why God allowed Israel to go into exile• How Daniel and his friends remained faithful in Babylon• The purpose of the Old Testament prophets• God's promise to restore His people after 70 years• Ezra and Nehemiah's mission to rebuild Jerusalem• How God used Esther to save His people• Why God's presence isn't confined to a building• What it means to live faithfully in a culture that doesn't follow GodThis message isn't just about Israel's exile.It's about ours.As followers of Jesus, we live in a world that isn't our home.But like Daniel...Like Esther...Like Nehemiah...God has placed us exactly where we are for a purpose.You don't have to become like the culture to make a difference in the culture.You can love God, stand firm in your faith, and be used by Him—even in Babylon.“For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place... And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” — Esther 4:14

Success doesn't always bring us closer to God.Sometimes, it causes us to forget Him.In this message, we continue our journey Through the Bible by tracing Israel's story through Judges, Samuel, the Kings, and the divided kingdom. Again and again, we see the same pattern: God blesses His people, they become comfortable, and their hearts slowly drift away.Using passages from Judges, 1 Samuel, 1 Kings, and 2 Kings, we explore:• Why Israel repeatedly turned away from God after entering the Promised Land• The danger of doing "whatever seems right" in our own eyes• Why Israel demanded a king instead of trusting God• The rise and fall of Saul, David, and Solomon• How compromise slowly leads to spiritual decline• Why blessing is not always the same as God's approval• The danger of putting our hope in political power instead of God• How to recognize the subtle ways our hearts drift from the LordThis message isn't just about Israel's history.It's about our tendency to forget God when life is going well.Spiritual drift rarely happens overnight.It happens one compromise...one distraction...one act of partial obedience at a time.“The tragedy of our time is that the situation is desperate, but the saints are not.” — Vance Havner

God is a promise-keeping God.From the moment sin entered the world, God began unfolding a plan to rescue and redeem humanity. In this message, we continue our journey Through the Bible by exploring the life of Abraham and the covenant that would shape the rest of Scripture.Using passages from Genesis 12-37 and Galatians 3, we explore:• The three promises God made to Abraham• What a biblical covenant really means• Why faith is trusting God even when you can't see the outcome• How God's promises survived Abraham's failures• The stories of Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph• Why God's timeline is often longer than our plans• How the covenant with Abraham points to Jesus• What God's promises mean for believers todayThis message isn't just about Abraham's story.It's about discovering that God's faithfulness is greater than our mistakes.Abraham lied.He doubted.He got impatient.Yet God remained faithful to every promise He made.“Abraham believed the Lord, and He credited it to him as righteousness.” — Genesis 15:6God's promises are bigger than our mistakes.God's timeline is longer than our plans.God's purpose is greater than our understanding.

The Bible can feel intimidating.Some people see it as a rulebook.Others see it as ancient history.But the Bible is ultimately one story—God's story.In this message, we begin a journey Through the Bible by exploring the opening chapters of Genesis and answering some of life's biggest questions:Who is God?Who are we?What went wrong?Why does the world hurt?And is there any hope?Using passages from Genesis 1-11, Psalm 33, Romans 15, and more, we explore:• Why everything begins with God• What it means that God created the world from nothing• Why humanity was created with purpose and value• How sin entered the world and changed everything• Why every person needs a Savior• The consequences of building a life without God• The goodness and grace of God in a broken worldThis message isn't just about understanding the beginning of the Bible.It's about understanding the beginning of your story.God created a good world.Sin broke it.Humanity couldn't fix it.But God didn't abandon it.“In the beginning God...” — Genesis 1:1

The Holy Spirit is one of the most talked about (and least understood) persons in the Church.Some see Him as a force.Others see Him as an experience.Jesus revealed Him as a Person.In this message, we unpack the Promise of the Father and discover who the Holy Spirit is, what He does, and how He transforms everyday life.Using passages from John 16, Acts 1, Acts 2, Romans 8, and Galatians 5, we explore:• Why the Holy Spirit is a Person, not a power• How He convicts, comforts, and guides believers• What it means to be filled with the Spirit• The difference between spiritual gifts and spiritual fruit• How the Spirit empowers us to live holy and bold lives• Why revival has always been connected to the Holy Spirit• Practical ways to cultivate a daily relationship with HimThis message isn't just about learning about the Holy Spirit.It's about knowing Him.Before Jesus told His disciples to go into all the world, He told them to wait for one thing: the Promise of the Father.“Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you...” John 16:7

Not every seed fails because it was bad.Sometimes the soil was never ready.In this message, we unpack Jesus’ parable of the sower in Mark 4 and explore the different conditions of the human heart. From hard soil… to shallow soil… to crowded soil… Jesus reveals why some people resist the Word, why some fall away, and why others produce lasting fruit.Using passages from Mark 4, Ezekiel 36, Galatians 3, and Psalms 92, we explore:• Why hard hearts reject what they can’t control• How shallow roots create temporary faith• The danger of distraction and spiritual overcrowding• Why being planted in God’s house matters• How Jesus became the Seed that crushed the curse• What it means to become “good soil”• How the Holy Spirit transforms hearts of stone into hearts of fleshThis message isn’t just about hearing the Word.It’s about becoming the kind of soil where the Word can grow.“Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop…” — Mark 4:20

Mary’s story is more than a Christmas story.It’s the story of every believer who has ever faced an impossible calling and wondered:“How can this be?”In this sermon from Luke 1:26–38, we explore four truths from the life of Mary:God chooses the unlikelyGod calls us to the impossibleGod answers “how” with the Holy SpiritGod honors surrendered heartsThis message is a reminder that:• God still uses ordinary people• The Holy Spirit still empowers believers• One surrendered “yes” can impact generations

Money is one of the most misunderstood topics in the church.Some say it’s evil.Others say it’s everything.The truth is found in Scripture.In this message, we unpack what the Bible really teaches about wealth, stewardship, and prosperity — without distortion.Using passages like Philippians 4 and Deuteronomy 8:18, we explore:• Why biblical prosperity is about wholeness, not just money• The difference between poverty and humility• Why God cares about how you handle resources• The role of stewardship, generosity, and covenant• How to walk in both contentment and growthThis message isn’t about chasing money.It’s about aligning your life with God’s design.

How do you know if your wisdom is from God?James 3:13–18 gives a clear answer.This message breaks down:• The characteristics of earthly wisdom• The source behind false wisdom• The fruit it produces in your life• The marks of wisdom that comes from aboveHeavenly wisdom is:• Pure• Peaceable• Gentle• Full of mercy• Without hypocrisyAnd it produces a harvest of righteousness.

Why does it seem like some people consistently walk in favor?Scripture gives a clear answer: wisdom.In this message from Proverbs and beyond, we break down:• The connection between wisdom and favor• Why chasing favor directly doesn’t work• How wisdom is formed through the fear of the Lord• What it looks like to live wisely in everyday lifeKey Scriptures include:• Proverbs 3:4–6• Job 28:28• Psalms 111:10Wisdom isn’t just knowledge.It’s the pathway to a life that God blesses.

Salvation was never the finish line.It was the starting point.In Acts 1, Jesus makes it clear:You need power.Not just belief.Not just knowledge.Power.This sermon explores:• Why the Kingdom must be your priority• Why God’s timing isn’t yours to control• Why the Holy Spirit is essential for real Christian life• The mission Jesus gave every believer• The reality that He is coming again“You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…”This is not a passive faith.This is a commissioned life.

What if the empty tomb reveals more than resurrection?What if it points back to the Ark of the Covenant?In John 20, two angels appear — one at the head and one at the feet.This mirrors the mercy seat described in Exodus 25.This message explores a powerful connection:• Jesus as the fulfillment of the Ark of the Covenant• The mercy seat and the finished work of Christ• The significance of the empty tomb imagery• The meaning of the New CovenantInside the Ark were:• The manna• Aaron’s rod• The tablets of the covenantAll of them point to Jesus.The resurrection doesn’t just prove He lives.It reveals who He is.

The cross is more than a symbol.It’s the turning point of human history.In this message, we unpack what actually happened when Jesus died — not just physically, but spiritually, legally, and eternally.Through passages like Romans 3:23 and Isaiah 53:5, we see the full picture:• The weight of sin humanity carries• How we aligned ourselves against God• The battle between the Lamb and the enemy• The victory Jesus secured once and for all• What the atonement truly means for your lifeThis isn’t just about forgiveness.It’s about freedom.It’s about victory.It’s about being made right with God.“He was wounded for our transgressions… by His stripes we are healed.”

Part 3 of the JESUS series.You’ve seen:• The Table → intimacy• The Garden → surrenderNow comes the tension:What happens when Jesus doesn’t meet your expectations?In Matthew 26:47–50, Judas betrays Jesus — not because he was far from Him, but because he misunderstood Him.This message explores:• The root of betrayal in unmet expectations• The difference between affection and allegiance• Why disappointment can quietly reshape your faith• The contrast between Judas and PeterJudas chose regret.Peter chose repentance.“It’s not your failure that defines you—it’s where you take it.”

The story of humanity begins in a garden…And redemption turns in another.In Genesis 3, Adam hides, blames, and chooses his own will — bringing sin and death into the world.In Luke 22, Jesus stands in a garden and does the opposite:He steps forward.He takes responsibility.He surrenders His will to the Father.What was lost in one garden…was reclaimed in another.This message explores:• Adam vs. Jesus — the contrast that defines humanity• Why self-will is at the root of sin• How surrender leads to life• What the Garden of Gethsemane reveals about obedienceEvery person lives between two gardens:One ruled by self.One surrendered to God.

On the night before the cross, Jesus gathered His disciples for the Passover meal.But during the meal, He did something shocking.He took the bread and the cup and said:“This is My body… This is My blood.”In that moment, the entire story of Passover was redefined.In this message from Luke 22, we discover:• Why Jesus is called the Lamb of God• How the feasts of Israel point to Christ• Why communion is central to the life of the church• How the table points forward to the return of ChristThe table is not just about remembering the past.It reminds us that Jesus is present with His people and that a greater feast is still coming.

One of the most dangerous spiritual conditions is not open rebellion.It’s almost obedience.In First Samuel 15, King Saul appears to obey God’s command… but he quietly keeps what he wants.From the outside, it looks like obedience.But when the prophet Samuel arrives, he asks a devastating question:“What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears?”This sermon explores:• Why partial obedience is still disobedience• How we rationalize compromise• Why religious activity cannot replace obedience• The tragic downfall of King SaulGod does not desire empty sacrifice.He desires surrendered hearts.📖 Key Verse“To obey is better than sacrifice…” — 1 Samuel 15:22

Have you ever felt overlooked, used, forgotten, or invisible?In Genesis 16, we meet Hagar — a servant, a runaway, and the first person in Scripture to name God.She calls Him El Roi — The God Who Sees.This sermon explores:• What happens when people use and forget you• Why God moves toward the marginalized• How being seen by God changes everything• Why the Cross is the ultimate proof that heaven sees youYou may feel unseen by people…But you are fully seen by God — pursued, heard, and cared for.📖 Text: Genesis 16:1–16Key Verse: Genesis 16:13

What if your greatest spiritual battle isn’t happening around you — but within you?In this message, we explore how Scripture and neuroscience agree: your thought life shapes your peace, identity, and spiritual strength. God has given you weapons to fight the internal war.If you’ve struggled with anxiety, shame, fear, comparison, or mental exhaustion, this teaching will help you recognize the battle, identify strongholds, and renew your mind through truth.In This Sermon, You’ll Discover:• Why negative thoughts feel louder than positive ones• How repeated thoughts build mental strongholds• The danger of rumination and thought loops• Why replacing thoughts works better than suppressing them• How gratitude literally reshapes your brain• The connection between stress, rest, and anxiety• Why identity drives behavior• How speaking truth regulates emotions• Why hope is spiritual AND neurological• How to actively take thoughts captive📖 Key Scriptures Referenced:• 2 Corinthians 10:3–5 • Philippians 4:4–8 • Romans 12:2 • Proverbs 23:7 • Matthew 4:1–11 • Ephesians 6:12 • 1 Thessalonians 5:18 • Isaiah 26:3 • Hebrews 6:19Final Thoughts:The greatest spiritual battles are not happening around you — they’re happening within you.Ask yourself: 👉 What thought has been winning in my life?Learn how to: • Name it • Reject it • Replace it with truthIf this message encouraged you:👍 Like 💬 Comment your takeaway 🔔 Subscribe for more teachings 📤 Share with someone who needs thisABOUT GTWY CHURCH:Wherever you are in life, God has a purpose and a good plan for you.

Why did Jonah run from God? And what does a sleeping prophet reveal about our own spiritual drift?In this message from Jonah 1, we explore how running from purpose is running from presence, how God uses storms of mercy, and how avoidance can masquerade as peace. This sermon speaks to anyone who feels distant, conflicted, or spiritually numb.In this sermon, you’ll discover: • Why Jonah’s disobedience was rooted in moral conflict • How “storms” can be redemptive interruptions • The danger of downward spiritual drift • The difference between surrender and avoidance • How God appoints rescue even in rebellion • The unfinished question Jonah leaves for usKey Scriptures: • Jonah 1 • 2 Kings 14:25 • Psalm 139:7–10 • Jonah 4:2 • Mark 4:38God’s call didn’t change.

What does biblical vision really mean—and why does it matter for your life, family, and church? In this Vision Sunday message, we explore how God’s vision brings clarity, alignment, and healthy pace, not pressure or burnout.Vision is not about personal ambition or creativity. According to Scripture, vision is divine revelation—seeing what God is saying now and aligning our lives accordingly.In this message, you’ll learn:Why vision creates boundaries, not just movementHow lack of vision leads people to drift off missionWhy vision must be caught before it’s taughtHow clarity produces alignment in hearts, families, and communitiesWhy God’s vision always has a grace-filled paceHow to steward spiritual tensions without living in extremesWhat God is calling our church into next—and how it affects you personally📖 Key Scriptures Referenced:Proverbs 29:18 — “Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.”Habakkuk 2:1 — Learning to pause, watch, and listen for what God is sayingHabakkuk 2:2 — “Write the vision and make it plain.”Habakkuk 2:3 — Trusting God’s appointed time and pace🧭 Major Themes Covered:Alignment before activityVision as revelation, not ambitionClarity that restrains confusionWaiting as protection, not delaySpirit and structureDepth and reachHealing and sendingFormation before platform🚀 Where We’re Going as a Church:Launching into a new sanctuary for future missionDeveloping Kingdom leaders through Leadership UCreating Freedom Retreats focused on spiritual depth and renewalExpanding outreach with wisdom and faithfulnessPreparing to plant churches over the next three yearsInvesting intentionally in middle school ministry beginning in 2026🙏 Personal & Family Application:This message isn’t just about church vision—it’s an invitation to ask: “Lord, how are You aligning my life, my family, and my priorities in this season?”Vision only works when we walk it out together.👉 If this message helped you, consider liking, subscribing, and sharing it with someone who needs clarity and direction right now.ABOUT GTWY CHURCH:Wherever you are in life, God has a purpose and a good plan for you.

Before God moves around us, He often works within us.In Joshua 3, Israel stands at the edge of promise. The wilderness is behind them. The Promised Land is in front of them. The Jordan River is at flood stage. And before God explains the miracle, He gives one command:“Consecrate yourselves.”In this sermon, Pastor walks through Joshua 3:1–17 and reveals a timeless Kingdom pattern: 👉 Preparation always precedes promise.This message speaks to anyone who feels close to what God promised—but unsure why it hasn’t happened yet. God is not delaying you. He’s preparing you.In this message, you’ll learn:Why proximity to promise is not the same as readinessWhat biblical consecration really means (and what it doesn’t)Why God often asks for obedience before explanationHow God’s presence must lead before progress followsWhy miracles often wait for a step of faithThe difference between corporate preparation and personal consecrationKey Scriptures Referenced:Joshua 3:1–5, 13–17Hebrews 11:1Romans 12:1Psalm 24:3–4Matthew 4:1–11Acts 1:4–8If you believe God is leading you into something new—this message will help make sure your heart is ready to follow Him.“Lord, before You do something new among us, do something new within us.”📖 Sermon based on Joshua 3:1–17📌 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this message with someone who needs encouragement today.ABOUT GTWY CHURCH:Wherever you are in life, God has a purpose and a good plan for you.

The life you’ve always wanted doesn’t form itself—it’s shaped by the habits you practice every day.In this message, Pastor Jason teaches how Scripture and modern neuroscience agree on one powerful truth: you reap what you repeat. This sermon explains how small, daily habits shape your spiritual life over time—and how God uses intentional rhythms to form a healthy, fruitful soul.Rather than focusing on momentary decisions or emotional experiences, this teaching shows how habits of presence, protection, and purpose lead to lasting spiritual transformation.In This Message, You’ll Learn:Why spiritual growth happens gradually—not instantlyHow habits bypass decision-making and quietly shape your lifeWhat the Bible means by sowing to the SpiritWhy awareness is the turning point for real changeHow to develop holy habits without striving or burnoutKey Scriptures Referenced (NKJV):1 Corinthians 15:33Galatians 6:7–9Psalm 27:4John 15:4Proverbs 4:23Hebrews 12:1Ephesians 2:10Acts 2:42–47This message is for anyone who:Feels spiritually stuck or driftingWants consistency without legalismDesires deeper intimacy with GodIs ready to move from intention to formationThe life you want isn’t achieved by goals—it’s formed by habits.👉 Watch, reflect, and ask God what rhythms He’s inviting you to practice next.📌 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this message with someone who needs encouragement today.ABOUT GTWY CHURCH:Wherever you are in life, God has a purpose and a good plan for you.

Many people are searching for answers to questions like:How do I heal a broken relationship?How do I forgive someone who hurt me?What does the Bible say about reconciliation?How do I trust again after betrayal?In this message, Pastor Jason teaches from the book of Philemon how God restores broken relationships through forgiveness, grace, and love. This sermon shows how the gospel heals emotional wounds, rebuilds trust, and brings reconciliation even after deep betrayal.The Bible teaches that relationships are not healed by pretending nothing happened — they are healed when someone is willing to absorb the cost of forgiveness. In Philemon 18, Paul offers to pay Onesimus’ debt so reconciliation can happen. This is a picture of what Jesus did for us and how healing begins in every relationship.This sermon explains how God works through different types of people in our lives:Those who hurt usThose who walk awayThose who stay faithfulAnd those who help bring healing through prayerYou will learn how to let go of bitterness, open your heart again, and allow God to mend what has been broken by people.If you are dealing with broken friendships, marriage conflict, church hurt, or emotional pain from betrayal, this message will help you understand what the Bible says about forgiveness, reconciliation, and healthy relationships.Scripture ReferencesPhilemon 8–9 – Authority that appeals in lovePhilemon 16–18 – Reconciliation and substitutionActs 13:13; 15:38 – Mark’s failure2 Timothy 4:11 – Mark’s restoration & Luke’s faithfulnessActs 19:29; 27:2 – Aristarchus’ loyaltyColossians 4:10–14 – Kingdom friendships2 Timothy 4:10 – Demas’ departureColossians 4:12 – Epaphras’ intercessionWhat You’ll LearnWhy reconciliation always costs someone somethingHow grace makes room for restored relationshipsHow to recognize covenant friendships vs. seasonal onesHow to heal after betrayal without closing your heartWhy prayer-warriors matter more than you thinkABOUT GTWY CHURCH:Wherever you are in life, God has a purpose and a good plan for you.

Most people want peace, joy, purpose, and stability in life—but many still feel stressed, frustrated, and disconnected. In this powerful message, Pastor teaches that the gap between the life we desire and the life we experience isn’t about lack of desire… it’s about misalignment of the soul.Discover how Scripture reveals that real transformation flows from the inside out, why walking in God’s truth matters more than simply believing it, and how spiritual disciplines help align your heart with heaven—so you can step into the life God designed for you.If you’re longing for spiritual growth, emotional health, and a life marked by purpose, this message will challenge and encourage you!Scripture References3 John 1–4 Proverbs 4:23 John 14:6 James 2:18–26 Psalm 86:11ABOUT GTWY CHURCH:Wherever you are in life, God has a purpose and a good plan for you.

Christmas is more than tradition, gifts, or sentiment—it is the most staggering moment in human history. In this powerful Christmas message, Jason Daughdrill walks us through the profound truth of Emmanuel—God With Us.This sermon unpacks how:Eternity stepped into timeThe eternal God accepted human limitationThe holy God moved into a broken worldThe invisible God made Himself knownThe King of Glory chose humilityThe incarnation changes how we live todayChristmas is not God sending help—it is God coming Himself. The incarnation declares that God is not distant, uninterested, or absent. He moved into the neighborhood, entered our brokenness, and forever united Himself with humanity to redeem us from within.This message will call you back to worship, wonder, and response as you rediscover the miracle of Christmas.👉 What will you do with Jesus?🔹 The Eternal God Stepped Into TimeJohn 1:1–2Jesus did not begin at Christmas—He entered time at Christmas.🔹 The Infinite God Accepted LimitationJohn 1:14God didn’t visit humanity—He became human.🔹 The Holy God Moved Into a Broken WorldJohn 1:14God tabernacled among us—poverty, oppression, and darkness included.🔹 The Invisible God Made Himself KnownJohn 1:14John 1:18John 14:9Jesus is God translated into a language we can understand.🔹 The Powerful God Chose HumilityLuke 2:6–7The King of Glory arrived in obscurity, not splendor.🔹 What the Incarnation Means for Us TodayGod truly understands us (Hebrews 4:15)God is near, not distant (John 1:14)God forever united Himself with humanityGod redeems the ordinaryGod’s nearness demands a response

What do you do when God feels silent?In this powerful message, Pastor Jason Daughdrill walks us through Luke 1 to remind us that God’s silence is never His absence. After 400 years without a prophetic word, heaven finally speaks—not to a king or a prophet, but to an ordinary priest named Zacharias. What unfolds teaches us how God works in seasons of waiting, silence, and uncertainty.If you’ve ever felt like God is quiet in your life, this message will help you understand what He may be preparing behind the scenes and how your response when He speaks truly matters.Key Scripture ReferencesLuke 1:5–25; 57–66 (NKJV)Amos 8:11Exodus 30:7–8Psalm 141:2Revelation 8:3–4Revelation 2:17Big IdeaSilence doesn’t equal distance. God’s silence is often intentional—and deeply redemptive.Message HighlightsWhy silence makes us uncomfortable—and what God does in itWhat God was doing during 400 years of biblical silenceHow God answers old prayers in new seasonsWhy unbelief doesn’t stop God’s plan—but can silence our participationHow silence can become a sanctuary where faith is rebuiltTrading pessimism for praise when God fulfills His promiseThis message is part of our December series at GTWY Church and is especially meaningful for anyone walking through a quiet or waiting season with God.

No matter how this year has gone — the wins you’ve celebrated or the wounds you’ve carried — God is still working in you, and He has not abandoned the process. In this message, Pastor Jason Daughdrill shares a powerful reminder from Philippians 1:6 that the God who began a good work in you is faithful to finish it.If you feel stuck, behind, discouraged, or unfinished, this message will help you trade pressure for peace and step into the new year with confidence in God’s character, not your own consistency.Message HighlightsGod never starts something He doesn’t intend to finishYour spiritual life didn’t begin with your strength but with God’s sovereigntyYou’re not the same person you were last year — God is actively transforming youStuck does not mean stoppedGod does His best work in hidden, slow, or stalled seasonsYour weakness doesn’t cancel God’s plan — it qualifies you for His graceIf God isn’t done, then neither are youScripture ReferencesPhilippians 1:6 — He who began a good work will complete itPhilippians 2:12–13 — God works in you to will and do His good pleasureRomans 8:28 — God works all things for the good of those who love HimHebrews 12:2 — Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faithPsalm 138:8 — The Lord will fulfill His purpose for meBiblical Examples MentionedMoses — Called at 80; God wasn’t doneDavid — Anointed long before appointedElijah — Restored after burnoutPeter — Failure wasn’t final; preached at PentecostJohn Mark — From rejected to redeemed author of the Gospel of MarkKey TakeawaysLet go of what didn’t get done this yearCelebrate growth you didn’t even noticeStep into the new year trusting God more than your own consistencyYou’re responsible for obedience — God is responsible for resultsWhat God started in you, He will finish

What if gratitude is the gate that leads you into the presence of God… and the key to deeper healing, joy, and spiritual wholeness? In this message, Pastor Jason Daughdrill walks through Luke 17:11–19, where Jesus heals ten lepers — but only one returns. This one moment reveals a truth that medical research is only now catching up to: gratitude transforms you from the inside out.In this sermon, you’ll learn: • Why gratitude is spiritual before it’s emotional • How remembering where God found you fuels fresh worship • Why entitlement kills gratitude • The reason Jesus expects us to return, not just receive • How gratitude actually brings you closer to Jesus • Why gratitude makes you whole, not just healedModern research from Harvard, UCLA, and Mayo Clinic confirms what Scripture has said for 2,000 years: gratitude renews your mind, strengthens your heart, and changes your life.Be the one who returns.Be the one who remembers.Be the one who gives thanks.📖 Scripture References1. Gratitude Isn’t Natural — It’s SpiritualMost people respond to God’s blessings with silence, entitlement, or forgetfulness. Gratitude requires returning, remembering, and humility.2. Remember Where Jesus Found You (v. 12)• The lepers stood afar off • Shame kept them distant — Jesus came close • Gratitude begins by recalling the pit He pulled you from3. Gratitude Begins With Mercy (v. 13)• “Jesus, have mercy on us!” • Gratitude says: I didn’t earn this, I don’t deserve this. • You cannot be grateful and entitled at the same time4. Obedience Often Comes Before the Miracle (v. 14)• Jesus gives a command before He gives healing • “As they went, they were cleansed” • Gratitude remembers it was His word, not your works5. Ten Were Healed — One Returned (v. 15)• 10% gratitude, 90% forgetfulness • Many ask… few return6. Gratitude Has Volume (v. 15)• The healed man glorified God with a loud voice • Real gratitude is expressive, not silent7. Gratitude Brings You Close (v. 16)• He begins at a distance • Gratitude brings him to the feet of Jesus • Gratitude closes the gap between you and God8. Jesus Notices Gratitude — and the Lack of It (v. 17)• “Where are the nine?” • Jesus counts who returns9. Gratitude Makes You Whole (v. 19)• The nine were healed physically • The one was healed inside and out • Gratitude transforms the soul, not just circumstances📖 Key Scripture ReferencesPsalm 100 – Enter His gates with thanksgivingLuke 17:11–19 – The ten lepers & the one who returnedPhilippians 4:6–7 – Thanksgiving unlocks peace1 Thessalonians 5:18 – Give thanks in everything🔔 Subscribe to Gateway Church for more powerful messages that challenge cultural Christianity and call believers back to covenant living.

Many claim the rapture is a modern invention, a doctrine created in the 1800s, or a fantasy Christians have embraced without biblical support.But Scripture, Church history, and Jesus’ own teaching say otherwise.In this message, Pastor Jason Daughdrill walks through what the Bible actually says about believers being caught up (harpazō) to meet the Lord, why the event itself is not up for debate, and why the timing is.📖 Key Texts:• 1 Thessalonians 4:16–18• 1 Thessalonians 1:10• 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11• Matthew 24, Luke 12, Titus 2, Philippians 3, Revelation 7…and many more.🔥 Main Teaching PointsThe Rapture Is Biblical — “Caught up” (harpazō) is in Scripture, and early Church Fathers taught it long before Darby.The Timing Is Debatable — Pre-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib… but the event is certain.God Keeps His People From Wrath — Paul taught this before Revelation was written.Signs of His Soon Return — Israel restored, global birth pains, moral collapse, technology fulfilling prophecy, worldwide evangelism, and unprecedented convergence.Jesus Commands Us to Watch — The Blessed Hope is not fear; it’s focus.A Falling Away AND a Revival — Matthew 24 and Joel 2 unfolding simultaneously.How We Should Live — Holy, hopeful, ready, on mission, and discerning.✝️ Bottom LineJesus is coming.The rapture is real.The timing is unknown.The signs are increasing.The harvest is accelerating.And the church must be ready.

Is it wrong for Christians to judge? Culture says, “Don’t judge me,” but Jesus actually teaches something deeper and far more transformative. In this message, Pastor Jason Daughdrill breaks down the difference between hypocritical judgment and righteous judgment — showing that the goal of godly judgment isn’t to destroy but to restore.If you’ve ever wondered how believers should correct, confront, or lovingly hold each other accountable, this teaching will bring clarity, courage, and healing.In this sermon you’ll learn:What Jesus meant in Matthew 7:1–6Why “Judge not!” is one of the most misquoted verses in cultureThe difference between sinful judgment and righteous discernmentHow to remove your own “plank” before helping someone elseHow to call people up, not just call them outHow righteous judgment leads to restoration, not condemnationHow to discern who to invest in, who to set boundaries with, and when to stay silentWhy healthy judgment shapes a healthy church📖 Key Scripture ReferencesMatthew 7:1–6 – Judge not / remove the plank firstJohn 7:24 – Judge with righteous judgment1 Corinthians 5:12–13 – Judge sin inside the churchGalatians 6:1 – Restore with gentleness1 John 4:1 – Test the spiritsRomans 16:17–20 – Mark divisive people1 Corinthians 14:29 – Judge prophecyHebrews 5:14 – Discern good and evil1 Corinthians 11:31 – Judge yourself first1 Samuel 16:7 – God sees the heartProverbs 27:6 – Faithful are the wounds of a friendThe world says, “If you love me, you won’t judge me.” Jesus says, “If you love them, help them see.”Jesus forbids hypocritical judgment, not righteous judgment.You can’t disciple what you’re unwilling to confront.Judgment from a wounded place always wounds.Restoration—not humiliation—is the goal.Love is unlimited… but access is not (Matthew 7:6).“Protect your pearls out of stewardship, not pride.”Your healing determines your helping.

You Sure About That? Pt. 1 In this message, Pastor Jason Daughdrill from Gateway Church (TN) dives deep into one of the most misunderstood topics in Christianity — tithing. Jesus said, “You cannot serve God and Mammon” (Matthew 6:24). This message isn’t about money — it’s about masters.Discover how tithing tears down the idol of Mammon, transforms your heart, and realigns your trust in Heaven’s economy.💬 Key Takeaways:Tithing didn’t begin with the Law — it began with Abraham and covenant love.Every tithe is warfare, breaking allegiance to Mammon and declaring Jesus as Lord.In the New Testament, tithing is worship, not obligation.Early church fathers affirmed that tithing remained part of Kingdom living.Giving is not a transaction, it’s trust in action — where belief becomes behavior.📖 Scripture References:Matthew 6:24 NKJV – “You cannot serve God and Mammon.”Matthew 6:21 NKJV – “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”Genesis 14:18–20 – Abraham and Melchizedek.Deuteronomy 14:23 – “That you may learn to fear the Lord always.”Malachi 3:10–11 – God rebukes the devourer for those who bring the tithe.Hebrews 7:8 – “Here mortal men receive tithes, but there He receives them…”Matthew 23:23 – Jesus affirms giving with the right heart.1 Corinthians 16:1–2 – Weekly giving in the early Church.1 Timothy 6:9–10 NKJV – “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil…”

What if the only thing standing between you and breakthrough is your focus? In this powerful message, Pastor Noah Hinshaw challenges us to stop looking at distractions, fear, and failure—and to fix our eyes on Jesus, the One who walks with us through every storm.This message from GTWY Church explores how easily we can miss God’s movement when we focus on the wrong things, and how to reclaim spiritual vision to see what He’s doing right in front of us.🙌 In this message, you’ll learn:Why we often miss what God is doing even when it’s right in front of usHow distractions and comparison distort your spiritual visionThe real reason Peter began to sink while walking on waterHow to shift your eyes from fear to faithWhat Elisha’s servant teaches us about seeing through God’s eyesWhy fixing your eyes on Jesus will always change your direction and your destiny📖 Scripture References:Luke 22:14–27 — The disciples miss what’s right in front of themGenesis 3:1–12 — Eve’s eyes shift from God’s goodness to deceptionMatthew 14:22–33 — Peter sinks when he takes his eyes off Jesus2 Kings 6:15–17 — Elisha prays, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see”Hebrews 12:2 — “Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith”👁️‍🗨️ What you’re looking at shapes who you’re becoming. It’s time to lift your eyes off the temporary—and fix them on the eternal.📍 GTWY Church | Shelbyville, TN

In Week 2 of the “By My Spirit” series, Pastor Jason Daughdrill unpacks what it truly means to be sealed for ownership and filled for operation.“Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.” — 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 (NKJV)Being sealed by the Spirit means you belong to God. Being filled means you’re empowered to serve His purpose. Many believers stop at salvation—but God’s desire is that you move from simply being marked to being mobilized by His power.When you ask, He fills. When you yield, He empowers. When you stay under the flow, you overflow.At the close of this message, Pastor Jason leads us through Luke 11:9-13 NKJV, reminding us that if earthly fathers love to give good gifts, “how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.”🔑 Key TakeawaysSealed for Identity, Filled for Impact – The Spirit seals you for ownership and fills you for operation (2 Cor 1:20-22).Move Beyond Misunderstandings – The baptism in the Holy Spirit is distinct from salvation (John 20:22 → Acts 2).The Spirit Comes Upon You for Power – Salvation prepares you for heaven; Spirit baptism prepares you for earth (Acts 1:8).There’s Always Evidence – The Spirit’s filling produces visible fruit and boldness (Acts 2, 8, 9, 10, 19).The Promise Is for Everyone – The Spirit’s gift wasn’t just for the early church—it’s for all who believe (Acts 2:39).How to Receive – Desire • Ask • Yield • Receive (Luke 11:9-13).📖 Scripture References2 Corinthians 1:20-22John 20:22Acts 1:5, 1:8, 2:4, 8:14-17, 9:17, 10:45-46, 19:1-6Ephesians 5:18Luke 11:9-13Acts 2:39

In this powerful message, Pastor Jason Daughdrill teaches from Zechariah 4:1–14, reminding us of God’s timeless word to Zerubbabel:“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.”Zerubbabel’s name means “born in Babylon” — a reminder that even those born in brokenness can be rebuilt by the Spirit of God. This message will encourage you to stop striving and start surrendering to the power of the Holy Spirit.When you rely on His Spirit instead of your own strength, the mountains in front of you flatten, small beginnings grow, and your lamp never runs out of oil.🔑 Key TakeawaysRely on God’s Spirit, Not Your Strength – You can’t build God’s purpose with human effort (Zechariah 4:6).The Spirit Removes Barriers – What looks impossible becomes possible by His power (Zechariah 4:7).Celebrate Small Beginnings – God delights in progress, not perfection (Zechariah 4:10).Stay Connected to the Source – The lamp burns only while the oil flows (Zechariah 4:14).Transformation Is a Process – You are being formed, filled, and fueled by His Spirit every step of the way.📖 Scripture ReferencesZechariah 4:1–14Genesis 1:2Luke 4:1 & Luke 4:14Psalm 97:5Luke 16:10Ephesians 5:181 Corinthians 6:19Galatians 5:22🙌 Subscribe to GTWY Church for more messages that will strengthen your faith and deepen your walk with Jesus.

He always finishes what He starts (Philippians 1:6).🔑 Key TakeawaysThe Power of a Touch – A single touch from Jesus changes everything (Mark 1, Mark 5, Mark 7).Led by Faith, Not Sight – Jesus often calls us away from comfort zones and into trust (Genesis 12, Matthew 14).Partial Vision Isn’t the End – Don’t be discouraged if you can’t see clearly yet—God works in stages (Philippians 1:6).The Second Touch Brings Clarity – Breakthrough often requires persistence and surrender (1 Kings 18, 2 Corinthians 12).A New Direction with New Vision – When Jesus restores your sight, He also redirects your life (Matthew 11:21).📖 Scripture ReferencesMark 8:22–26Mark 1:29–31, 40–42; Mark 5:21–43; Mark 7:31–35Genesis 12Matthew 141 Kings 182 Corinthians 12Philippians 1:6🙌 Subscribe to GTWY Church for more messages that will strengthen your faith and deepen your walk with Jesus.ABOUT GTWY CHURCH:Wherever you are in life, God has a purpose and a good plan for you.

What happens when the Gospel stops being safe and starts becoming dangerous?In this powerful and prophetic message, Pastor Jason Daughdrill confronts the comfortable, consumer-driven gospel that has taken root in modern Christianity and calls believers back to the true Gospel of Jesus—one that demands surrender, boldness, and even our lives. In the wake of tragedy, this sermon challenges us to embrace the cost of discipleship, stand firm in perilous times, and reject the spirit of deception infiltrating both culture and church.Whether you're a pastor, a parent, a student, or someone wrestling with compromise, this word will ignite a holy fire within you to live unashamed and carry the Gospel—no matter the cost.🕊️ “To live is Christ, to die is gain.” – Philippians 1:21 NKJV📖 Key Scripture References:Luke 9:23–26 – Deny yourself, take up your cross, follow Jesus.Acts 1:8 – Empowered to be martyrs (martus).Philippians 1:21 – Living is Christ, dying is gain.Revelation 12:11 – Overcoming by the blood and our testimony.James 4:4 – Friendship with the world is enmity with God.2 Timothy 3:1–4:4 – Prophetic warning about perilous times.1 Timothy 4:1 – Doctrines of demons in the latter days.Titus 1:9, 1:13, 2:15 – The pastoral call to rebuke and exhort.1 Timothy 5:20 – Public correction for unrepentant sin.2 Thessalonians 3:14–15 – Correction in love.Hebrews 13:17 – Leaders are accountable to God.🔥 In This Message:The gospel isn't just helpful—it’s dangerousWestern culture has softened the call to follow ChristPersecution is in our DNA—it's not optionalWe're not called to popularity; we’re called to boldnessHow to respond to deception in the last days7 scriptures every spiritual leader and disciple needs to knowWhat every believer must do to stay anchored in truth

Sermon Notes1) God Delivers Us to Draw Us (Exodus 19:4; Exodus 7:16; Ezekiel 48:35 NKJV)God didn’t just bring Israel out of Egypt—He brought them to Himself.Salvation isn’t just leaving bondage; it’s entering relationship.Application: Don’t confuse being saved from sin with being close to God.Key verse: “...the name of the city from that day shall be: THE LORD IS THERE.” (Ezekiel 48:35 NKJV)2) Covenant Before Conquest (Exodus 19:5–6; 1 Peter 2:9–10)Before Israel faced giants, God gave them covenant.God calls us His “special treasure” and a kingdom of priests.Application: Faith must be personal, not delegated.3) Presence that is Personal (Exodus 19:16–19; Exodus 20:18–21)God’s presence shook the mountain and invited intimacy.Israel stood afar off, but Moses drew near.Application: Don’t delegate intimacy with God to someone else—He wants you close.4) Encounter Over ExpedienceGod paused Israel at Sinai to encounter Him before entering the land.Illustration: The long road with your son—more than a destination, it’s about the journey.Application: Don’t despise delays; they’re invitations to deeper encounter.

When life throws us into the fire, it’s not to destroy us — it’s to reveal who is standing with us. In Daniel 3:16–30, we see one of the most powerful displays of faith in all of Scripture. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego refused to bow down to King Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image, even when faced with the threat of a fiery furnace. Their courage, conviction, and trust in God show us how to live with unshakable faith in a world full of pressure and compromise.🔥 In this sermon, In the Fire, we uncover four timeless truths from their story:1️⃣ Faith That Refuses to Bow – True faith doesn’t compromise, even when it’s costly.2️⃣ The Fire Reveals Who is With You – The Fourth Man in the fire was not just with them, but is with us in our trials today.3️⃣ Freedom is Found in the Fire – The very flames meant to destroy them burned away their chains instead.4️⃣ There is Favor on the Other Side – God doesn’t just bring you through; He promotes and blesses you beyond the trial.This message is for anyone who feels like they’re in the heat of life’s battles — whether it’s a personal struggle, a spiritual attack, or a season of waiting. The fire can feel overwhelming, but it’s in the fire that God proves Himself faithful.✨ You’ll walk away reminded that:God’s presence is stronger than your problems.Your faith has the power to inspire others.What looks like the end may actually be the beginning of your breakthrough.If you’ve ever asked, “Where is God in the middle of my trial?” this sermon is for you. Just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, you’ll find that you’re never alone — and that God’s favor is waiting on the other side of your fire.📖 Scripture Reference: Daniel 3:16–30 (NKJV)
