New Book Study: When Church Was a Family

On Saturday, April 22, our Gateway men will begin their plunge into a new book, written just for us Gateway guys. 

Spiritual formation occurs primarily in the context of community. But as the modern cultural norm of what social scientists call "radical American indivi-dualism" extends itself, many Christians grow lax in their relational accountability to the church. Faith threatens to become an "I" not "us," a "my God" not "our God" concern.

When the Church Was a Family calls believers back to the wisdom of the first century, examining the early Christian church from a sociohistorical perspective and applying the findings to the evangelical church in America today. 

With confidence, author Joseph Hellerman writes intentionally to traditional church leaders and emerging church visionaries alike, believing what is detailed here about Jesus' original vision for authentic Christian community will deeply satisfy the relational longings of both audiences.

Join us men as we read this book and discuss it chapter by chapter during our Saturday morning break-fasts. See Enrique Monreal for a copy of the book.

Combined Men's Breakfast

On Saturday, March 25, at 8:30 am, all our Gateway men are invited to join in a special breakfast and presentation to wrap up an incredible book study on Tony Evans' Kingdom Man.  Of our 25 or so men at Gateway, about 16 of them participated in this book study. However, every guy at Gateway is invited to this event.

After breakfast, we will be hearing testimonies of how the book has helped various brothers at Gateway. Our special speaker is Brian Wright. In 2014, with God's help, Brian conquered a life-long addiction and won his family back as a result. Today Brian and his wife Michele minister to couples who are journeying on the road to recovery.  

See David Rodriguez, Enrique Monreal or John Alvarez for further details.

Men's Retreat

On Saturday, May 21, the Gateway men and teenage boys will be joining in a special men's retreat in Laguna Beach. 
      After breakfast and a time of worship, David Rodriguez and Enrique Monreal will be launching our new Saturday morning men's groups, using Tony Evan's bestseller,  Kingdom Man. 
       Before the retreat, we will email all the Gateway guys the first chapter from the book, so that we can discuss the implications for us as men. We will also have copies of the book there for distribution. Below are three reviews:. 
Kingdom Man is a playbook for life. Tony Evans has laid out the game plan to follow if we, as men, want to live a championship life. He describes not only what we need to do, but more importantly, how to do it. This book is a must-read for any man who wants to live up to God's design for male leadership of the family! (Tony Dungy, Super Bowl-winning coach and New York Times bestselling author)

       If you want to experience all that God has destined for you, Kingdom Man is essential. In it, Dr. Tony Evans gives helpful and relevant tools that you can use to reach a place of influence and impact. This book will help you progress from being a good man to being a great man! (Tony Romo, Quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys)

       I'm a big game-plan guy, and Tony has the ability to lay out a game plan for those of us who want to be Kingdom Men. As we have gotten to know each other over the years, it's become clear to me that Tony has a heart for the Lord and a gift for communicating God's principles. (Joe Gibbs, Three-time Super Bowl champion and Three-time NASCAR champion)
