Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast.

Wherever you're tuning in from, we hope you're encouraged by today's message.

We're going to begin a new series. It's a four week series, and the name of the series is, what's my purpose?

and that is your purpose, I put this on the screen is not made up, it's craved down.

So you don't make up or come up with whatever your purpose is, you pray it down. And this is a great time because

a fast, the reason we do a fast is it reminds us that we are consecrating that

time to the Lord and to push into the Lord So I really want you to pray about and come up with something
