Welcome to Gateway Church's podcast.

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

This is the beginning of a new series.

So my dad, Pastor Robert and I will be actually sharing a series and so it is a six

week series there will be a small break in between for somebody named Joyce Meyer

so on May 4th and 5th, so that's going to be absolutely amazing, but the title of this series is Jesus in the Center.

Jesus in the center. Jesus in the center.

Now you notice I'm saying it slow because I didn't want it to, anyone to accidentally hear

Jesus is a sinner.

Jesus is not a sinner. He lived a perfect life, but Jesus is in the center, meaning whatever

So today's message, I'll go ahead and share, Jesus is the center, Jesus is in the center of your stress.

got a brand new boat. It's one of our first times to be in this boat.

So it is my wife and our kids.
