On Grandparents’ Day, at Gateway Susan Elsmore reminds that getting older is not about becoming irrelevant but about embracing the privilege of passing on wisdom, faith, and encouragement to those coming after us. In this message, we explore why honour matters, how authenticity builds trust, what it means to be a non-anxious presence in an anxious generation, why we should celebrate the next generation even in their learning, and how faithful prayer leaves a lasting spiritual legacy. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, mentor, or friend, this message invites you to live a life worth following.

In this message from the Honour Series, Tim and Lauren Lucas share openly about the challenges and beauty of marriage in a culture that often revolves around “me.” Together they explore what it means to honour one another in love, through conflict, and even in intimacy. Whether you are married, single, divorced, or longing for marriage, this message points us all to the selfless love of Jesus that transforms relationships, restores hope, and calls us to put others above ourselves.

Kick starting our Honour series, Andrew Mayne explores what it means to value and affirm one another as members of the body of Christ. Looking at Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12, we see how God calls us not to compete but to compliment each other, to treat every person with dignity and worth, and to live as contributors rather than consumers in His church. True honour flows from humility - lifting others up, celebrating their wins, and sharing their burdens so that together we flourish and Jesus’ name is lifted high.

In this message, Jason Elsmore looks at Revelation 13 and the imagery of the beasts, reminding us that this often-feared chapter was never written to terrify but to encourage. Using the lens of apocalyptic literature, he shows how the dragon, the beasts, and their mark represent powers that oppose God, both in the Roman Empire and in every generation. Jason challenges us to ask: Who will you worship? Whose mark do you carry?
God’s story has always been bigger than we can imagine, and at the centre of it all stands the Lamb. From before creation to the cross and into eternity, Jesus is not just a symbol of God’s love - He is love. In this message from Derek Peters, we see how the Lamb of God weaves through the whole story of Scripture, showing us that God doesn’t stay distant - He joins us, redeems us, and invites us into His divine dance of love and unity.

Is the world spinning out of control, or is there something deeper going on?
In this message, Tim Lucas opens a new series on the book of Revelation by exploring its central theme: worship. Rather than focusing on predictions or timelines, this teaching highlights the throne room of heaven in Revelation 4, where God is revealed as sovereign, eternal, and worthy of all worship.
Tim explains the historical context of Revelation, the different ways it has been interpreted, and why it continues to speak powerfully to both ancient and modern audiences. He reminds us that despite the chaos we may see around us, God is still on the throne.
This is not an end-times breakdown—it’s a call to worship the One who was, who is, and who is to come.
Revelation Is About Worship, Not Just End Times
God Is on the Throne
Historical Context Matters
Multiple Interpretive Lenses
Spiritual Reality Beyond the Physical
God Is Eternal
Worship Is Central in Heaven
Contrast with Roman Emperor Worship
Everyone Will Worship
Call to Present-Day Worship
Revelation 4:8
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”

What drives your desire to be great—recognition or purpose?In this message, Andrew Mayne explores the tension between personal ambition and spiritual calling. Using the story behind the Hardy Boys and the pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon, Andrew draws a compelling parallel to the church: many individuals working under one name, not for personal fame, but for a greater purpose.Through personal stories and biblical reflection, this message challenges us to examine our motivations and invites us to live for the name above all names—Jesus.Key Scripture: Philippians 2:5–8"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus... he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant..."---- Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.

What breaks your heart when you look at your city?
In this message, Jason Elsmore challenges us to move beyond comfort and complacency and to engage deeply with the brokenness around us. Drawing from Nehemiah 1, Jason explores how proximity to pain awakens prayer, and how ordinary people—like Nehemiah, a public servant—can shape the future of a city through intercession.
Whether you're in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Goondiwindi, or watching from anywhere in the world, this message invites you to stand in the gap for your community. Jason reminds us that we have access to a King—Jesus—who hears, responds, and moves when we pray.
Key Themes:
Nehemiah 1:4–11"Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God... let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying..."
Let’s not get numb to the numbers. Let’s pray for transformation, revival, and healing in our cities.

In this message, Tim Lucas explores the topic of repentance—not as a word of guilt or shame, but as a practical step toward renewal. He explains how repentance is more than feeling sorry; it’s about turning away from distractions and turning back to Jesus.
Using stories from Scripture, personal experience, and historical examples like the Welsh and Pyongyang revivals, Tim shows how repentance leads to real change, deeper faith, and spiritual growth. Whether you’re new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this message is a reminder that repentance isn’t a one-time event—it’s a daily choice.
2 Chronicles 7:14
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Are you spiritually asleep? In this message, Jason Elsmore kicks off the Awaken series with a call for the church to rise from spiritual slumber and become fully aware of God's presence, active in prayer, and walk in the light of Christ.
Through personal stories, biblical insights, and three spiritual "alarm clocks," Jason challenges us to wake up to the reality of God's grace, the urgency of prayer, and the promise of revival in our nation. From the mountaintop transfiguration to the quiet whisper on the mountain with Elijah, this sermon reminds us that God is speaking—are we awake enough to hear Him?

What if the fresh move of God isn’t about innovation, but about returning to what’s faithful and true?
Dave Shepherd, Senior Pastor of Hills Baptist Church Adelaide, gives a message that challenges the modern church to reconsider what it means to follow Jesus in a world obsessed with the new. Preaching from Romans 12:1–12, Dave unpacks the call to be:
Dave illustrates how the mission of God often feels less like smooth sailing and more like paddling against the current. But it’s in that struggle that true discipleship is formed.
The message isn’t flashy—but it’s deeply needed. It’s a call to realign with the simplicity of sacrifice, obedience, perseverance and prayer.

1. God will never change His mind about you.

Every day, your thoughts are shaping the direction and quality of your life, whether you realise it or not. In this message, Derek Peters tackles one of the most important and often overlooked parts of your spiritual journey - your thinking.
Using the story of the Prodigal Son, and alongside other parts of scripture, Derek shows how the enemy uses lies to build strongholds in our minds such as false beliefs that hold us back from living as loved, free, and secure sons and daughters of God.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns of shame, fear, or self-doubt, this message is for you. Discover how to recognise the lies, replace them with truth, and begin thinking in a way that aligns with who God says you are. Because when your thinking changes, everything changes.

Most of us want to do God’s will… but what happens when we’re not sure what it is? In this message, Elena Ciobo unpacks one of Jesus’ most famous prayers—“Your kingdom come, Your will be done.” Elena shows us that God’s will isn’t about figuring out every detail, it’s about trusting the One who already has.

You weren’t created for a capped life. You were created to overflow. In this Pentecost Sunday message, Jason Elsmore challenges us to stop settling for “just enough” of God. The same Holy Spirit who empowered the early church is still moving today - and He wants to fill you with boldness, power, and purpose. Just as He reminds us in Acts 2: the Spirit is poured out on all people. That means you.
