Shaking the Gates is our weekly online prayer gathering. Join Pastor Jody Sunday nights at 7:30. We invite you to engage with other Gateshakers in the text chat. The name “Shaking the Gates” comes from John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, he said:
“Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of Hell and set up the kingdom of Heaven upon Earth.”
What does it mean to have a Satisfying Christmas?
Christmas is an amazing time of year, especially when you’re a child. It’s filled with wonder and awe and excitement. But as we get older, the pressure to have the very best Christmas ever sometimes leaves us irritable, exhausted, and unfulfilled. We have a picture-perfect scenario of Christmas in our heads, and we wear ourselves out with the expectations and demands “satisfying” that image of Christmas requires of us.
This year we have the opportunity to slow down and respond to the invitation of Jesus, and in doing so, receive an amazing, satisfying gift that will be experienced beyond this season. We can have what we need this year for a truly Satisfying Christmas.
