Focused on The Word

We had a great second Sunday in our "Finding our Focus" series as we looked at the importance of God's Word in our lives. The sermon from Sunday is now posted on our main site: http://www.gateway-baptist.org/listen.html

We also did a test run of our "Focus on Fellowship Night" on Sunday. We dedicated the evening service time to strengthening our bonds through fellowship and everyone had a great time!

Moving Forward

We have begun our Fall sermon series entitled "Finding Our Focus". The first message, "Focused on Our Foundation", is available at our main website sermon page. http://www.gateway-baptist.org/listen.html I belive this is the most important series of sermons I have ever preached and strongly encourage all of our members (and certianly anyone else interested) to not miss a single installment!

Finding Our Focus

The Fall is here and things are busy! Our sound man had weekend duty the last two weeks and as a result we were not able to get all the sermons recorded. I did post last Sunday's sermon entitled "Seeing Nothing" on our main web site today.

I will be in New Jersey to attend a family wedding this weekend (October 11) and Pastor Love will be filling in for me. When I return we will begin a series of messages entitled "Finding Our Focus". I am excited to see how God is going to use His Word to transform our Church!

Where has the time gone?

It has been a few weeks since I last updated the blog. School is back in session which means our Awana Clubs have resumed for a new year!

I am looking forward to a series of messages entitled "Finding Our Focus" which will begin on October 18th. We are going to evaluate the Biblical form and function of the Church and begin to make some changes to allow us to better meet those goals! It is going to be an exciting time!

The sermon page has been updated. You can listen online or download the messages on our sermon page! http://www.gateway-baptist.org/listen.html

Summer is over - looking forward to the Fall!

Our family was on vacation for the last couple of weeks and we had a wonderful time. I want to thank Dr. Love for filling in for me in my absence.

My oldest son and his wife (Ryan and Amanda King) were with us last Sunday. Ryan in working on his Masters degrees at Baptist Bible College. We were delighted to hear his first sermon on Sunday night.

You can hear all of these messages on our main website. http://www.gateway-baptist.org/listen.html

What a Wonderful 4th!

Thank God for His goodness! We had a great 4th of July weekend with our picnic on Saturday and services on Sunday. God allowed the waters to part! We had heavy rains on Friday and Sunday, but Saturday was beautiful.


Our annual picnic at Alameda park was a hit thanks to God's blessings! We had a good turnout of our people and were thrilled to have the Southern Gospel group Shiloh and their wonderful families with us! You can see the guys playing volleyball below! I want to extend a special thanks to Jim Kennedy for working countless hours to prepare most of the food.


We are eternally grateful to our God for the freedoms we have in this great Country! We also thank our military men and women and their families for fighting to keep those freedoms alive!

Busy Weekend!

We had an interesting but certainly entertaining weekend here at Gateway.

Jim Kennedy, one of our members, hosted the 3rd annual Alamogordo Music Festival at the Teys Special Events Center. The opening acts ranged from our own Randy Flowers to a German choir from Holloman AFB and all of them did a great job.

The acappella group Legacy made their first appearance in Alamogordo and were very impressive. They have an incredible gift and seem determined to use it for the glory of our Lord and Savior! You can find more about them at: http://www.legacymusic.net/legacy/Home.html

Southern Gospel group Shiloh made their third appearance in Alamogordo and were a real blessing. We are looking forward to spending the 4th of July with them at our annual picnic. You can find more about them at: http://www.shilohnet.com/about/

The weekend ended with a flash-flood warning in the area. There was lots of rain and we lost power twice during the evening service! My preaching was focused on God's presence through the storm in the AM and PM Services - I guess God wanted to make things a little more real to us!

The sermons are posted at our main site: http://www.gateway-baptist.org/listen.html

I can't wait to see what God has in store for us next weekend!
