The Love of God in the Christian Family
Love Marriage, Family and Children Aldersgate Center Zolezzi, Steve 05/13/2000 05/13/2000
This teaching looks at the love of God within the Christian family. God set the standard for love, and He is the one who set up marriage. He set it up to bless man and to preserve the Word from generation to generation. It looks at the Christian family in the book of Ephesians where it appears in the context of walking in love and in light of the great Mystery. Husbands, wives and children all need to walk in love to be in step with God and each other. Love is the bond of perfectness, and it works in the family of God. Jesus Christ loved God more than he loved other people and thus never compromised on the Word. We need to love God first so we never compromise on the Word. The price we pay for loving is high, but the price we pay for not loving is more than what we can afford to pay.

So Mightily Grew the Word of God and Prevailed
Lifestyle of a Believer The First-Century Church Witnessing and Undershepherding The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Chatten, Bob 01/01/2012 01/01/2012
We see the lifestyle of the believers in the first-century Church in detail from Acts 2:41-47. They had respect for God and each other, and they lived with love, grace, and commitment, and that allowed the Mystery to live. As a result, many people were saved and came to a knowledge of the truth. The Word will prevail when we are truly committed.
You Cannot Serve God and Mammon
Believing Lifestyle of a Believer Prosperity The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Armstrong, Joe 01/01/2012 01/01/2012
Jesus Christ stated that we cannot serve God and mammon, where mammon refers to what is trusted in the world. A real relationship with God takes effort, but it is great gain. God wants to take care of people. It’s the truth that makes you free from deep negative emotions, fear, and anxiety. There is no other refuge and strength except for God. God should not be just a hobby for you; you should addict yourself to God and His Word, putting God first above anything else.
Service in the Book of Philippians
The First Century Church The Great Mystery Leadership and Service The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Zolezzi, Steve 12/31/2011 12/31/2011
This teaching looks at the lack of service in the Philippian church due to wrong practice regarding the Mystery by not serving one another. Jesus Christ, Timothy, and Epaphroditus are given as examples of people who helped correct this by demonstrating right practice in the area of service to help others live the Mystery and walk in love. If the Mystery is going to live, it takes people having a great heart to serve and give, not being wrapped up in themselves, but looking for needs in the Body to bless the people they are with and bring out their best. Service starts with a decision to stand fast together so we can do the utmost for the highest and serve the Word of life.
God’s Faithfulness to Us and Our Faithfulness to God
Believing Integrity of the Word Renewed Mind The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Nafey, Amanda 12/31/2011 12/31/2011
First, the Hebrew word ‘āman and the Greek word pistos, both of which are translated “faithful”, are discussed. Then, we look at God’s faithfulness to His Word and to us as we believe His Word. Finally, we look at our faithfulness to God which is in caring for the rightly divided Word.
