2023-2024
In 2023, the women in the community of Crosspoint Church Lynchburg began a monthly series focused on the Kingdom of God. We asked these questions:
​
1. Is it possible to experience and enjoy some of the realities of the Kingdom of Heaven, now?
2. When Jesus was preaching about the Kingdom of Heaven, what was He talking about?
​
Here are the summary notes from the last day.
Episode 1 -
Kingdom. Foundation and Miracles
In this introductory episode of The Gathering, listen in as we summarize six foundations to Kingdom living and six miracles Jesus did on people bodies, and the spiritual counterpart He is doing in us.
Episode 2 -
Lazarus and Life
Jesus spent a few years teaching about the Kingdom of Heaven and healing people from various diseases and disabilities. Then in John 11, Jesus taught about the Kingdom reality of life, and demonstrated it by raising Lazarus from the dead. Just like Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead physically, He wants to bring all people from spiritual death to spiritual life! He did it for Lazarus, and He can do it for you today!
2024-2025
In 2024, we are studying the Armor of God from Ephesians 6. As we go through each piece of our armor in Jesus, we are asking the questions, "How can we use our Armor to fight for unity in the body of Christ?"
Fighting for Unity with the Armor of God
Episode 3 -4
Exchanging Fear for Fellowship
In this two-part introduction to this year's series on Fighting for Unity with the Armor of God, Melissa teaches about fear and its effects on our lives and relationships. She gives an overview of the book of Ephesians as Paul demonstrates the mystery of unity between Jews and Gentiles made possible by the "Manifold wisdom of God". She brings Satans method of fear into light so that we can begin to fight its dictatorship in our lives and replace it with excellent leadership of the manifold wisdom of God.
