Does Gateway give recognition to civil celebrations like Memorial Day or Mother’s Day in its services? Trying to figure out the appropriate amount of link and relevance between civil culture and Gateway’s church culture, and whether there is opportunity to contextualize these events in our lives. (1:38)

We have noticed that sometimes when you pray, you will pray to the Father, Son and Spirit. I have been taught in the past that we should pray to the Father, through the Spirit, in the name of the Son. Can you help me understand this? (2:52)

What is the best way to ask unsaved ones to "accept" "receive" Christ? The sermon really made me ponder that. (6:30)

I really enjoyed your sermon about Saul. One of the biggest takeaways I got was “Who is God softening your heart for?” I have a friend who is struggling in life and spiritually right now and seems to constantly be pushing me away when I’m trying to help. I’m trying to remain faithful but it’s hard when I’m stuck in this perpetual cycle of being disappointed/rejected. Any suggestions for how I go about trying to help my friend? (6:30)
