The Decision to Believe
Believing Jesus Christ’s Example Greenkill Conference Center Zolezzi, Steve 04/30/2017 04/30/2017
This teaching is about the decision to believe God’s Word. It looks at the example of Jesus Christ’s believing and how he expected others to also believe if they wanted deliverance in their life. Jesus Christ was a pioneer in believing as the author and finisher. He believed God’s Word all the way through and was tempted in all ways yet without sin. Jesus Christ isn’t on earth anymore, but we have all the power of God in Christ in us. The decision to believe God’s Word, including Christ’s accomplishments, is the most important decision we will ever have in our life as it has eternal bearings. We make the decision to believe every day. Fear issues in unbelief; we need to “be not afraid, only believe” when intimidating issues come up in life. The teaching ends with a look at Matthew 6 in regards to the decision to think in a carnal way (with worry, doubt, and fear) or in a spiritual way. We can change our heart by changing our thinking. Unbelievers seek to meet their own needs, but we as believers have a different lifestyle. We seek God first, and, in doing so, He supplies the rest. There is a lot of fear and worry in the world, but we can make the decision to believe God in our lives. We can choose to lead people out and be pioneers back to God.
One Accord
The First Century Church Greenkill Conference Center Zolezzi, Steve 05/01/2016 05/01/2016
This teaching is about the importance of unity in light of Acts 2:42-47. Great things happen in the Bible when people are of one accord. The believers stood united in Acts and walked with God which took the move of God’s Word to different continents and languages. If people are not united on right doctrine and practice then the Word doesn’t move. To put out a campfire, one thing you can do is spread the coals; we don’t want to be a campfire that goes out because we are separated. We need to stay unified, and then people who are out in the cold will want to join the bonfire. We are likeminded on the Word according to the risen Christ, and we can’t let guilt separate us from God or the believers. Love is proactive and helps to prevent practical errors which can lead to doctrinal error. It keeps things simple when God and His Word are the priority. If the Word is going to move, it’s going to take someone to move it. God moved in Christ Jesus; now it’s our move.
Unity
Walking in Healing
Healing Greenkill Conference Center Zolezzi, Steve 04/20/2013 04/20/2013
This teaching handles a few things that interfere with people receiving God’s desired healing and deliverance. We are instructed that the proper order when healing is needed is going to God first, getting ministered to second, and then going to a doctor. We are also taught that healing is appropriated by believing.
Forgiveness
Being Especially Good to Individuals
Jesus Christ’s Example Lifestyle of a Believer The Great Mystery Greenkill Conference Center Zolezzi, Steve 04/28/2012 04/28/2012
This teaching reviews God’s goodness to individuals, how Jesus Christ was good to individuals in his ministry, and how we can be especially good to the household of faith as individuals. God cares for each one of us individually and is not a respecter of persons. Jesus Christ had a lot on his plate with the redemption of mankind, yet he took the time to help individuals. Preparation for being especially good to individuals includes reading the Bible because goodness on the inside will reflect on the outside. We can take our minds off of ourselves and bring out the best in each other. The whole body gets edified and blessed as a result of individuals being blessed. In our commitment as servants to God and His people, we can roll with all different types of people, overcome evil with good, and provoke one another unto love and good works.
Taking Care of People
Jesus Christ: The Subject of the Written Word
The Hope How God’s Word Interprets Itself Integrity of the Word Greenkill Conference Center Zolezzi, Steve 04/29/2011 04/29/2011
Jesus Christ is the subject of the written word from Genesis 3:15 to Revelation 22:21. Since the fall of man, God has consistently given solutions to man’s plight. In the Old Testament, they looked forward to the promised Messiah. In the Gospels, he was present. In the Grace Administration, we look back at his accomplishments and look forward to his appearing.
Prophesies of the Messiah
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.
