Love and Compassion
Healing Love Greenkill Conference Center Armstrong, Joe 05/05/2018 05/05/2018
This teaching shows how healing occurs when great love and compassion is shown forth. It opens with a record about Jonah having more compassion on a plant than a whole city of people being delivered. Yet God cared about the city of people. God loves people, and He loves you. Jesus Christ showed people what God was like in the gospels. Jesus Christ got angry and sad when people didn’t care about someone who had a need. Similarly, it also makes God sad when people are callused in their hearts towards other people – especially when they stand in the name of God. There should be great concern, love, and kindness amongst His people. Love is a decision and cannot be earned. It is free and cannot be lost. God invented the concept of love, and love comes from Him. If you really know God, you will love people. God works in us to help people, but we have to want to do it. We need to have a deep affection for people and want good things for their lives. We have the ability as sons of God to take care of people. We watch out for each other and the people we meet every day. To know that someone has compassion on you is so healing. We ought to lay down our lives for each other. God’s household is a great place to be. Wherever you are, there should be great love and compassion because it is God in Christ in you!

Believing Energized by Love
Believing Love Greenkill Conference Center Armstrong, Joe 04/30/2017 04/30/2017
This teaching is about making sure that our believing is activated and energized by love. You can believe without love, but believing with love is strong. We can believe to help others and make a decision to care about people. We are a force in this life as God’s ambassadors and kids. We already have great concern about ourselves, and we can have the same concern about the people around us. The parable of the good Samaritan is read to show the importance of caring for others, especially if you care about God. God loves everybody including the unlovable and the unthankful. Right doctrine produces unconditional love. We have so much to give: we have holy spirit, we can heal people, and we can help people have eternal life. Believe to help and to make a difference in this earth with your life. Believing energized by love prevails!
Taking Care of People
God Walks and Talks with His Children
Believing The New Birth Receiving the Holy Spirit and Manifestations Greenkill Conference Center Armstrong, Joe 04/20/2013 04/20/2013
Once we are born again of God’s spirit, we have the ability to have God our Father communicate with us. We see that He understands us and speaks to us as little children. We are never alone; he is always with us to bless, comfort, direct, guide and help us. We can decide to live like His children or else walk by our five senses.
Loving Each Other
Lifestyle of a Believer Love Who God Is Greenkill Conference Center Armstrong, Joe 04/28/2012 04/28/2012
In this teaching, we are taught to know what love is by first understanding who God is and how He treats us. He thinks of us kindly and affectionately. God wanted someone to love, and that’s us! Since we represent Christ in this world, we should act like sons of God who love God and other people. Everything we do, including our thoughts, affect other people. People’s lives are important, so don’t be afraid to take action in love.
The Mystery
The Great Mystery The New Birth Greenkill Conference Center Armstrong, Joe 04/30/2011 04/30/2011
The teaching shows why this world is evil, the cause of the evil, and God’s plan of deliverance from this evil world by the coming of the Messiah who would bring peace. God’s plan before the fall was the great mystery, Christ in each born again believer who would represent God as Jesus Christ did. We are shown how each believer is able to walk in the fullness of God, preaching the gospel to the poor, healing the broken hearted, setting people at liberty, and delivering people just as Jesus Christ did.
Access to God
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.
