Arise Gathering | July 2021 Online Pastor Kayla Kessinger I Heart Church   

Questions for Group Discussion or Personal Reflection:   

1.  What does it mean to live scripture and apply your life? 

2.  What are areas or routines that you could alter to begin making disciples in the everyday, mundane things of life?

3.  Do your spheres of influence look like the Kingdom of God? If not, why and how can you specifically change that?

4.  If your life is your podium, what does your life speak to those around you? 

This month Pastor Melodi challenges us to fully cling to the Father and surrender ALL to Him, withholding nothing. God has proved that YOU are what is most valuable to Him by bankrupting Heaven. As you listen to this message, lean in and ask yourself, "Does my life prove that Jesus is MY first love?"

God has equipped each of us with something to contribute to the Kingdom. As we gather in homes with our friends, it is important that we don't become consumers. Instead, find ways to serve and love the community placed before you. Listen as Pastor Melodi challenges women to bring what they have to the table and watch how God can use it!

Arise Gathering | April 2021 Pastor Melodi Hawley I Heart Church

If you have ever felt MUZZLED BY SHAME, this Arise Message is for you. We are continuing to dive in and explore how God purposely partners with man to accomplish His will. He CHOOSES us and doesn’t wait until we are no longer messy. He does “on-the-go” training to display His progressive work before a watching world. Let the Lord turn your mess into a “mess-timony” and see how He can use it all. 

Today’s message is from our February gathering. Melodi Hawley sat down with our online pastor, Kayla Kessinger to cast vision for Arise Gathering for the rest of the year. We think you’ll really enjoy this conversation about the importance of community.

Peace. It‘s the gift you may not know you need most this Christmas. True Peace extends beyond the flexing, bending, changing tides of life and blankets the soul like a morning fog. It reaches past temporal circumstances and brings a sense of wholeness even in the midst of external chaos. What if the Prince of Peace wanted to give it to you freely? (Hint: He absolutely does.) Listen to the powerful teaching from Pastor Melodi Hawley from our December Arise Gathering. Find out more at arisewomensconference.com. 

Through tradition and the chatter of the world, the Gospel can get clouded by so many unnecessary things. But this is the simple truth: Love God. Love others. Obey His commands. In this episode, Melodi Hawley shares our responsibility in sharing the Gospel from November's Arise Gathering.
