Gene Cunningham presented “The Mystery of Godliness” May 11–13, 2018 in Winchester, Virginia.
The statement of Paul in 1 Timothy 3:16 declares that “without controversy great is the mystery of godliness.” The “mystery” began with the birth of Jesus Christ, the eternal Word, becoming flesh. The earthly life of Christ then became the template—the standard for the Christian life lived out through the indwelling and filling ministry of the Holy Spirit. The end result, again defined by the apostle, is the resulting dynamic that “Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20). The objective of this study is to bridge the gap between the historical reality of the Incarnation and the spiritual potential for every Christian.

Cross to the Crown #1
One Mission. Crown of Righteousness (2Ti 4:8) -- longing for His appearing. Mat 16:18 "I will build my Church" -- Joh 4:24. (1) Our mission (Mat 28:18-20) is "make disciples". Comes from authority of Jesus Christ which has been delegated. (2) Our method -- go, baptize. and teach. We keep the faith by spreading it (2Ti 4:7). (3) Mystery -- "Behold I am with you always" for the purpose of fellowship with Him and one another.
Scripture References: Matthew 28:18-20, John 4:24, Matthew 16:18
From Series: "The Cross to the Crown"
To get from 'the cross to the crown' we need to make decisions to live a life of spiritual dynamics using God's provisions -- His Word and Spirit. This series given in early 2006 before Gene moved back to the States outlines ten aspects of our discipleship.
