Hello My Name is Justice - Justin McCarty - Gateway Austin

Your view of God shapes everything—how you pray, how you lead, how you suffer, how you love. What we believe about God will determine the kind of world we imagine we’re living in. But what if our view of God is all wrong?

When Moses asked to see God’s glory, God did not first display raw power. He proclaimed His name and revealed His character: compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin – yet not leaving the guilty unpunished.
This six-week journey shows what we can learn about God from His interaction with kings, poets, prophets, and people just like you and me. When we know who God really is, we can know Him more and make Him known.

How can a loving and compassionate God allow unjust suffering in our world? In this message, we dive deep into the true nature of God’s justice through the lens of the cross. Rather than seeking retributive punishment, Jesus shows us a justice rooted in restorative mercy, forgiveness, and radical love.

If you’ve ever struggled with hard questions about God’s judgment or wrestled with personal pain, this teaching offers a transformative look at how the cross changes everything.

Hello, My Name Is Restoration
September 13, 2026 / Carlos Ortiz

Have you ever looked back at a season of your life and wondered, “How do I get back what I lost?” Whether through broken relationships, poor decisions, suffering, or years spent running in the wrong direction, we all know what it feels like to face wasted time and painful regret. In the book of Joel, God meets a people devastated by total loss and speaks a promise that seems impossible: “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten.” True restoration isn’t found in self-effort, quick fixes, or empty religious performance, but in returning with all our heart to a God who is gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in love. No matter how broken your past or present may feel, your story isn’t over—God specializes in taking our rubble, redeeming our wasted years, and writing a new story of hope and healing.

Are you tired of waiting on God? This week, we look at Exodus 34 and 2 Peter 3 to explore what it truly means that God is “slow to anger” and rich in patience. Discover how God’s slowness isn’t delay or passivity, but a purposeful act of grace designed to build your character, give you endurance, and invite you to relinquish control.

When we stop guessing and start knowing Yahweh—the God of infinite mercy, grace, and unshakable love—everything changes. Come break free from transactional faith and step into a rewritten future anchored in His unyielding grace!
