We all fall short of the glory! Not a single one of us can cast stones nor should we be judging anyone else. Thank you Father for mercy. Thank You Jesus for bridging the gap for us.
I really needed this. Thank you Lisa and thank you to Gateway church for challenging us to not harden our hearts but to open our hearts to the saviour who saves and redeems. Praying for redemption and healing in the name of Jesus. And may God restore you all. Amen
Thank you for the reminder that grief is Godly. He is close to the brokenhearted - the victim (a child, not a young lady), the church and the leaders. God cares for grieving hearts of big and small, the high and the lowly people.
Thank you Lisa for your servitude to our Heavenly Father...I listen to your sermons every chance I get. You've helped me to cultivate admiration and love for God to blossom in my heart...and soooo many tears due to your tender and comedic deliverance of your message...God bless you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Oh Jesus, I need to repent because I know now I have not properly grieved or expressed my feelings about the situation with Pastor Robert Morris. How I actually felt like God had let me down, how I started to question the purity of the Church and the leaders that I have leaned on to teach me the word of God. I started questioning everything about what I thought I knew and questioning who I could trust. I pray for Pastor Morris and his family. My feelings about this situation are so confusing but I do know that Pastor Morris is just like me, he's human and he's a sinner that needs a Savior and above all I know that HE DESERVES FORGIVENESS and that his mistake does not define him as a person. He is not the mistake he made, thanks to God and God alone. We need your help through this Jesus. Amen
Joleen, I am right there with you. I thought I was the only one to feel doubt and confusion for leaning on Pastor Morris to teach me the Word. If we are not the only ones than that means the enemy is using this situation to bring doubt and confusion to the body of Christ. We must remain in prayer! God bless you body of Christ! Let us continue to seek first the kingdom of God.
I agree with you....I also believe he deserves forgiveness and to be honest he has taught us alot....and God was using him as a vessel, that much we can be sure...he is not defined by his mistake....Amen.
I would agree, except that ge did this for FOUR years!! And only stopped when she told her parents. Then he spent years not taking accountability for the enormous damage and pain that he caused this child even in to adulthood. He went so far as to even put the blame on her. He deserves forgiveness and prayer but he also deserves to never be in leadership again. I hope he recovers and can share his story. For miss Clemishire, I pray she has healing and restoration from this deep damage. Prayers for both families and for Gateway congregation! All my love.
I needed to hear this today. My heart has been so heavy laden for my family that I was beginning to fall into pushing it away because I did not want to feel it. Today, I have asked God to soften my heart and bring restoration of love back to myself and my family. As I said to my son, one day when he had really gotten on my nerves and was ready to yell at him, I dont want to be like that. The list of burdens is long, and I need other believers who will lift me up rather than judge and condemn me.
Thank you Lisa Harper that you keep directing us to Jesus. I’m grateful that you, Gateway wanted to be honest n transparent. We, yes we all are broken n need Jesus. I pray for the woman who was hurt n your former pastor n I pray that this reality (whatever happened n I chose this word cuz I don’t know about this situation n it’s not for me to make light of or dismiss) of the past doesn’t destroy your church. God I pray that people, including myself bring all of our pain to You n we open our hearts, honesty n authentically…. Today I know I’m still hanging on to pain. It’s what I was taught in the church, however they did only what they knew, back when I was younger. God please take it, please help me to let go? I trust You Jesus. In Jesus precious Name, Amen ❤️🙏❤️
I so needed this, I need forgiveness for my anger and pain. My heart is so angry, I have been following Gateway for so many years..my heart was broken from a.man for 40 years and now I am as broken with this loss of leadership and trust. Not just Pastor Robert but the leadership, cover up etc. I wish I could hug someone and cry with them that understood as a woman that I am troubled, and deceived and lost trust.. I know I want to heal.. this sermon was Devine...thank you..
I don’t even go to Gateway... I live in Cincinnati OH! Lol! God is so faithful though, to lead us to the VERY thing we need to hear at the exact moment we need it. This messages pierced right through the epicenter of a relational situation that I absolutely needed to surrender to Jesus and repent for and allow Him to change my heart. I’m so grateful for every person in this thread and I bless each of you with restoration, healing, redemption and goodness, straight from the hand of Heaven.
When i heard more details th what was in P Morris books abt the past sin, I immediately saw Jesus, & His blood covered this sin. The Word says He doesn't remember our sins if we repent, as far as the east is fr th west He forgets, so how can I remember someones old sin.I stand w Father God, Yeshua, Holy Spirit....❤
Thank you for continuing to stand with me for my breakthrough and still not getting too annoyed. I know God is working it all out, and I am eager to see it all.
I am not a follower of Gateway but Dr. Evans. This helped me with my grieving of what is going on with him. It seems so easy to follow Man not God. Lisa had several great takeaways for me: that grief is a sign of belief is one of them.
Acknowledge your hurt. Just remember God will be the One who rightfully judges. I have followed Pastor Robert for years and I was completely gobsmacked by this. It crushed me. I cannot forget all that I learned from him through the years. I continue to shed tears over what has happened and I ask God to continue the healing process in all. I'm glad that God judges and not other humans.
I don't belong to your church but I grieve with you. I would listen to your former pastor. Please don't forget that he and his family are grieving also. He that's is without sin cast the first stone. Becareful of throwing stones at him and his wife. I hurt for him and his family just like I do for the church. God knew what he did but still blessed his ministry. Why? Maybe just because He said "neither do I condemn thee, go and sin no more". You feel deceived. Jacob deceived and God still blessed him. Lay your stones down. God is judge. Let's not sit on His Throne. Someday you may need grace and forgiveness like your former pastor.
Pastor Robert Morris needs forgiveness and prayers just as our Savior wants us to forgive others not seven times, but seventy times seven” (Matthew 18:22). Who are we to judge? All of us are sinners. Timothy 1:15 “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” After preaching the words of GOD and started Gateway church for the past 25 years, having brought millions to Christ, I just wanted to pray for Pastor Robert in this difficult time to experience Christ's forgiveness and His grace will see him thru. Prayers also go to the family. Jesus challenges us to cast the first stone for those who are without sins, period.
What comes to me is Jesus knelt and began to write her accusers sins in the sand. I am left with the thought we have all fallen but fallen is different then living in sin. I am shocked the board has not stood behind pastor Moris. It sounds to me as the board is looking at how to not lose profit rather than going to war with the devil. Just my thoughts I have sinned.
Just have to say.. if this( my option ) helps.. the reason this Christian is saying “ I’m Fine” all the time is because it gets no where to tell people. I honestly pray everyone would stop ignoring the hurt and brokenhearted. Sometime pain will s so so deep.. you can only keep it to unselfish because no one has the capability of reaching our hurt
If God called Robert Morris we are not to say anything. He is forgiven are we not. Cast the first stone or did Jesus say nothing but stop sinning. We have no right he says forgive.
Gateway Church will not be Holy until these two things are resolved... Oh ... Also get rid of hats being worn by men in the sanctuary as well ... Also against God's word...
Wow. This is what I needed to hear. No more pretending to keep pain from God. Honesty here on out. Thank you, Lisa.
We all fall short of the glory! Not a single one of us can cast stones nor should we be judging anyone else. Thank you Father for mercy. Thank You Jesus for bridging the gap for us.
All I can say is you preached what I have been feeling. Thank you for being obedient to the Holy Spirit's leading.
Yessss, I feel the exact same. Amen 🙏
I really needed this. Thank you Lisa and thank you to Gateway church for challenging us to not harden our hearts but to open our hearts to the saviour who saves and redeems. Praying for redemption and healing in the name of Jesus. And may God restore you all. Amen
Awesome and BEAUTIFUL message from the tender, loving heart of our God.
May the Lord strengthen, protect and keep the Gateway family.
Thank you for the reminder that grief is Godly. He is close to the brokenhearted - the victim (a child, not a young lady), the church and the leaders. God cares for grieving hearts of big and small, the high and the lowly people.
I miss pastor Robert. God has spoken to me so many times through pastor Robert sharing God's word. Praying for him and his family.
Thank you Lisa for your servitude to our Heavenly Father...I listen to your sermons every chance I get. You've helped me to cultivate admiration and love for God to blossom in my heart...and soooo many tears due to your tender and comedic deliverance of your message...God bless you!

I forgive Pastor Robert TY FATHER GOD
@RealLife888-x9s but we are still commanded to forgive.
Matthew 6:12...And forgive Our trespasses (only) AS we Forgive those who Trespass Against us.
I’ve been stuck in unprocessed grief for several months… and the sadness has deep roots. 💔 Pray for me.
I understand how confused you feel. God gave him such a gift of
Love & His leading thur in out out8
I’m not over being angry with the elders, and with Pastor Morris’ accuser-he confessed it all(so we were told) 37 years ago-not last week!!
Acknowledge your hurt. Just remember God will be the One who rightfully judges. I have followed Pastor Robert for years and I was completely gobsmacked by this. It crushed me. I cannot forget all that I learned from him through the years. I continue to shed tears over what has happened and I ask God to continue the healing process in all.

Hallelujah
The house of cards is crumbling from the inside and it’s breaking my heart
Thank You, God, for Jesus Christ connecting family sending love and prayers from New Zealand

Cindy Cleminshire Was wrongfully wounder However my question was her motive years later to accumulate money from Robert why now did she do it now
If God called Robert Morris we are not to say anything. He is forgiven are we not. Cast the first stone or did Jesus say nothing but stop sinning. We have no right he says forgive.
Gateway Church will not be Holy until these two things are resolved... Oh ... Also get rid of hats being worn by men in the sanctuary as well ... Also against God's word...
Too many pastors and not enough sheep .. just saying
Bet you still have food and concessions allowed in the sanctuary as well... All of which is against scripture
1 corinthians ch 14 v 33-37 No women minster over the conregation like that.
Is this a comedy routine or a sermon. Bad either way
It’s both.
Why is humor bad?
Pray About it! 🙏💔
