Before Jesus left the earth, He told His disciples to wait. Let’s find out what Jesus told them to wait for and what that means for us! If you missed last week’s video, it can be found on YouTube.

Wait!

Let’s celebrate Christmas together! Visit gatewaypeople.com to watch our Christmas Candlelight Service with your family.

Christmas Candlelight Service

God is the greatest giver of all—He gave us Jesus and everything we have. Join us as we dive into what tithing is and find out how to put God first in our giving!

First Things First

The Bible tells us that it is better to give than receive (Acts 20) and that God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians). Let’s learn how we can give our time, talent, and treasure.

Time, Talent & Treasure

We are in a new series all about giving. But there’s one small problem; we all tend to have a little monster inside us called selfishness. If we are going to be great givers, God calls us to be selfless. Let’s learn more about that.

The Problem

As followers of Jesus, we are told to pray and fast—and we aren’t talking about winning-the-school-track-meet fast! Let’s discover why prayer and fasting is important and learn how to do it.

Prayer & Fasting

In your life, does God’s voice seem quieter than everything else going on? Let’s talk about how to turn down the noise of the world so we can tune in and turn up what God is saying to us!

Turn In & Turn Up

In the Bible, followers of Jesus are called sheep hundreds of times. And in John 10, Jesus says, “My sheep hear My voice.” If being a sheep doesn’t mean having a fluffy coat and living in a pasture, then what does it mean? Tune in to find out!

Sheepish

Hearing God’s voice requires a consistent friendship with Him. Join us as we learn how to be consistent in the good times and the bad!

Consistency

A fact is anything that is true, and fiction is anything that is false. Let’s investigate three things about the Bible that are fiction and discover what the truth of God’s Word tells us!

Fact and Fiction

The Bible is a collection of 66 books that all point to Jesus. Find out why that matters to us today—thousands of years later!

How Did We Get the Bible?

Just like Jesus invited Zacchaeus into community, let’s explore how you can include someone who needs friendship.

Reaching the Disconnected

Jesus influenced many circles of friends—from the few to the masses. Let's talk about who’s in your circle!

Who’s in Your Circle?

As Christians, we have an amazing opportunity to help build God’s kingdom! In this message, you’ll discover what it means to be a kingdom builder.

Build God’s Kingdom

This week we’ll discover what Godly friendship looks like and how to make friends!

Who Is a Friend?

In the midst of uncertainty, fear can start to creep in and overwhelm us. Let’s talk about choosing faith over fear and some practical steps you can take to remind yourself of the faithfulness of God!

Faith over Fear

We have talked a lot about what it means to “love your neighbor as yourself,” but what does that mean for you right now as a fifth or sixth grader? Find out as we break down some practical ways to love your neighbor!

How Do I Love My Neighbor?

We often judge each other before we get to know each other. This prejudice prevents us from truly loving our neighbor.

Look at the Inside

Jesus said one of His greatest commandments is to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Before we can do that, we must pause and realize the goal is to be unified with each other because the enemy is always trying to divide us.

A Commandment to Love

Integrity is about being who God wants you to be no matter what happens. Let’s talk about how God blessed and protected Joseph because he had integrity.

Integrity

When God gives you a dream, faithfulness is important. If God can trust you with little things like homework, your phone, or chores, He can trust you with even more!

Faithfulness

God wants to spend one-on-one time with you. How can you make face time with Him a habit? We asked students just like you to share what their face time with Jesus looks like. Tune in as they talk about what’s helped them and some things that could help you too!

Meeting with God

When we think about prayer, sometimes we aren’t quite sure how to do it. But the good news is Jesus gave us an instruction manual that shows us how. When we follow this simple guide, our prayer life will go to the next level!

Prayer

No matter how big or how small, the dreams you have come from God! Let’s take a look at the life of Joseph, the dream God gave him, and how that relates to each of us.

Dreams

How can we know something is true, not just someone’s opinion? Let’s discover what the truth really is.

The Verdict

Jesus calls us to follow Him and be His disciple, but what does that look like? We’ll talk about how we can follow in Jesus’ footsteps in our daily lives and inspire others to do the same.

Become a Follower

From Abraham and Lot to Jesus washing His disciples’ feet, we see a lot of examples in the Bible of how to serve your friends. This week we’ll talk about how we can serve our friends.

Serve Your Friends

What others say and do can make us feel like we’re missing out. Let’s investigate the truths and lies we hear about following Jesus.

Two Truths and a Lie

Jesus came to save the world, and He came to save you. In this message, we dive into what it truly means to give your life to the Lord and be born again.

Believe in Jesus

This series is all about the Holy Spirit. Let’s learn more about who He is! The next video in this series will only air on YouTube so you can enjoy the Christmas Candlelight Service with your family.

Who Is the Holy Spirit?

When we read the Bible, we’re not just reading words on a page but words directly from God to us! Let’s learn how reading God’s Word every day helps us get to know Him.

Bible Reading

Let’s talk about what happens when your dreams become reality and you realize that it was never about you in the first place. It was all about Jesus and others!

Purpose

Hebrews 4 says that the Bible is alive and powerful! Join us as we talk about what that means and learn how to consistently rely on that power in our everyday lives.

How to Read the Bible

What should we do when we sin? Let’s answer this by looking at the stories of King David and King Saul.

Keeping It in the Dark

Let’s look at what it means to have face time with God in worship. It’s not just about music; it’s about showing our love for God. When we worship, God helps us see ourselves and things in life differently.

Worship

If God is good, why do bad things happen? Let’s explore the nature of God’s character and why we can trust Him.
