The Gathering Place

by Joshua Way

HOLY - Week 3

In week three of HOLY, Pastor Josh makes the case that you can't be holy and unloving — because holy means being like God, and God is love. From the family resemblance you can't fake, to the lawyer who wanted a list and got a mirror, to the well you can't pour from when it's dry. You don't work love up. We love because He first loved us. Love is the road. Holiness is where it comes out.

HOLY - Week 2

In week two of HOLY, Pastor Josh gets honest about the thing most of us are still holding back and why partial obedience has never been anything but disobedience. King Saul obeyed ninety percent, and God still called it rebellion. But this isn't a message about trying harder. Jesus obeyed all the way to a cross in our place, and His Spirit changes what we actually want. Grace isn't the absence of work — it's the power that does the working in us. Holy is a life that obeys.

HOLY - Week 1

In Week 1 of the HOLY series, Pastor Josh unpacks the H: Humble. Standing in Isaiah 6, we watch the holiest man in the room come completely undone before a holy God — and learn that you can't be holy until you've seen holy. Pride is a comparison game, but one real look at God ends it. And here's the good news: you don't make yourself holy. He makes you holy. Grace comes down, the coal touches your lips, and the cleansed get commissioned. Come get low enough for the coal to reach you.

The Go Jesus Gave Us - Week 4

The Go Jesus Gave Us — Week 4: Plant the Seed Ever shared your faith and gotten… nothing? No response, no change, just crickets. It's enough to make you quit. In this final message of the series, Pastor Josh pulls the pressure off with two words: the harvest. Your job is simple — keep planting, keep watering, and trust the Lord of the harvest to do what only He can do. From a nervous shoe-store conversation that led to Billy Graham, to a mom who prayed 30 years for her son, you'll walk away knowing your seeds are never wasted.

The Go Jesus Gave Us - Week 3

Week 3: What Do I Say? You'll talk all day about a good taco truck or a show you binged — but the second it comes to Jesus, you freeze. Sound familiar? In this message, Pastor Josh proves you already know how to do this. You've got a story worth telling, three simple things to remember, and a clear way to actually lead someone to Christ. Turns out you've got way more to say than you think.

The Go Jesus Gave Us - Week 2

You don't have to cross an ocean to be a missionary. You just have to cross the room. Last week we talked about the command to Go. This week, Pastor Josh shows us where — and it's closer than you think. Your neighborhood. Your office. Your kitchen table. You're not just living your life; you're deployed on assignment. The fields aren't ripe someday. They're ripe now. Your mission field has been waiting for you to show up. So go show up.

The Go Jesus Gave Us - Week 1

The last thing Jesus said before He left was one word: Go. Not think about it. Not plan for it. Go. In this first message of The Go Jesus Gave Us, Pastor Josh breaks down why every believer is called, why no one is disqualified, and why the world can't afford our silence.

Let Series - Week 5 - Let Your Light Shine

Every conversation, every reaction, every response in traffic — we're putting out a signal. We're always shining something. The only question is what. In the finale of The LET Series, Pastor Josh flips the camera from what God does in us to what God does through us — and challenges us to make sure what the world sees when it looks at our life is Jesus, not just another version of what it already has.

Looking Unto Jesus

In this message from Hebrews 12:2, Pastor Josh walks through five areas where we have to stop looking around and start looking unto Jesus — for our identity, confidence, direction, joy, and hope. If you've been weary, distracted, or sinking under the weight of the waves, this is your recalculating moment. Jesus is reaching for you — not to condemn you, but to catch you.

LET Series - Week 4 - Let Everyone Receive

The baptism in the Holy Spirit isn't history — it's inheritance. In Week 4 of The LET Series, Pastor Josh teaches from Acts 2:38-39 and shows from Scripture that the gift of the Holy Spirit is a second experience that builds on salvation, it's still available today, and it comes with a purpose — power to be witnesses. If you've ever wondered what Pentecost means for your life right now, this is for you.
