    Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God

    In this episode Melissa works through each word in this verse, in Greek, in order to bring out meaning and application.  She takes us through 4 uses of the Sword of the Spirit that are both defensive, protecting us from our enemy, as well as offensive, building up the Kingdom of Heaven.  She also gives us 3 warnings about using the Sword so that we use it with discretion so as not to injure the people we are called to love, and make sure we use it against the actual enemy.  ​  The Gathering: Women in the Word  Bible teaching for deeper faith and stronger relationships  The Gathering is a live teaching retreat that takes place throughout the year at Crosspoint Wesleyan Church in Lynchburg.
