So often, what we call “help” is actually hidden judgment. Carlos Ortiz invites us to examine the posture of our hearts: Do we approach others to love and serve—or to correct and control? Drawing from Matthew 7, Colossians 3, and Romans 13, this message challenges the knee-jerk impulse to “fix” others, and instead calls believers to Spirit-led discernment and humility. Jesus calls us not to condemnation but to connection. The measure of our maturity is not how boldly we speak, but how graciously we love. On this Pentecost Sunday, we are reminded that the Spirit empowers us not for domination, but for transformation—starting with ourselves.
I’m Only Trying to Help
Kids & Students
Kids
Regardless of age, it’s our goal that every person who enters our doors feels loved, learns a little, and has a LOT of fun! We’ve created excellent experiences for kids in hopes that they beg to come back next week!
Students
Gateway’s vibrant student community is comprised of middle school and high school students in grades 6 – 12. Gen Z is a generation like no other. We consider it an honor to walk alongside them and guide them as they meet Christ for the first time or as they deepen their relationship with God.
