“Made for Worship” by Pastor Daniel Floyd

October 19, 2025

Did you know you were made for more than just getting through the day? Pastor Daniel continues our “Made for More” series by reminding us that true worship transforms us so we can enjoy the abundant life Jesus promised. As we praise God with our mouths, our actions, and our hearts, we step into our purpose and the life God designed for us all along.

What does it mean to live on mission for Jesus? Joakim Lundqvist continues our “Made for More” series with an empowering reminder that sharing the truth of the gospel is not merely accomplished through our words but in the way we live, the seeds we plant, and the refining we can grow through. When our minds are set on Jesus, our lives can have a greater impact on the world for the kingdom.

God desires a life of fulfillment for us, but what does that mean? Kicking off our “Made for More” series, Pastor Daniel teaches we were never meant to journey through this life alone. As believers, it’s part of our calling to forge healthy, godly relationships with those around us. Find out how God can equip you to have “more” with Him and the people He’s placed in your life!

In a world constantly searching for “more,” how can we be truly content? Pastor Daniel concludes our “Happy, but Hollow” series by teaching us that genuine contentment comes from both natural and supernatural work. We must learn contentment by living within limits and fuel it through gratitude, but Jesus completes the work. When our confidence is rooted in Him, we can be content whatever the circumstance.

What if joy wasn’t something you stumbled into, but something you could actually choose every day? Pastor Joakim Lundqvist continues our “Happy, but Hollow” series by showing us daily choices we can make to experience God’s endless supply of joy. These choices bring lasting peace and the fullness of joy, no matter our circumstances.

When the world around looks darkest, how do we find our way to joy? Pastor Daniel continues our “Happy, but Hollow” series by teaching from Paul’s example in Philippians. He reminds us that joy doesn’t come from our earthly credentials or circumstances but in remembering we are chosen by God, redeemed, and called for a purpose.

What if joy isn’t something you find, but something you live out? Pastor Daniel continues our “Happy, but Hollow” series and encourages us to rediscover true joy by following Christ’s example of humility—shifting the focus off ourselves and fully trusting God’s work in us. When we choose gratitude over grumbling and allow God to renew us, we reflect His light and display His love in a dark world.

What’s the secret to unshakeable joy? In our new series Happy, but Hollow, Pastor Daniel teaches about the “Barriers of True Joy.” Real joy isn’t about having perfect circumstances—it’s about how you see them, what you’re living for, and whom you’re trusting. Even amidst hardships, we can live with joy, humility, and a steadfast faith in Christ!

What does it mean to lead well? In Pastor Daniel Floyd’s first message as our new lead pastor, he unpacks four commitments he is making to the Gateway family: to love us deeply, protect us faithfully, help us grow in our walks with the Lord, and lead us with humility and integrity. Drawing from 1 Peter 5 and other powerful Scriptures, Pastor Daniel invites us to discover what following the Great Shepherd’s example looks like.

Is Israel still central to God’s plan? Pastor David Blease continues our “Let’s Go” series by sharing how God’s heart for the Jewish people echoes throughout the Scriptures and continues today. Just like male and female are united but distinct in marriage, Jew and Gentile are united in Jesus—each with a unique role. As Gentile believers, we’re called to love, honor, and point Israel back to their Messiah.
