Grace and Peace
Marriage, Family and Children The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Waite, Sid 04/01/2017
If a marriage is an example of The Mystery, then grace and peace have to be in the marriage. We see from this teaching God’s grace in the Church and how we as individuals can give that grace to our spouses. When we better understand that grace of God extended to us, it can help us extend that grace to others. We are shown examples of God’s grace in the Word, including the grace in Paul’s life. It also shows how grace and peace go together, so if we extend grace, we’ll see a lot more peace. We are to be imitators of God. He extends grace because He loves, and that’s the greatest motivation to extend grace, because you love. We haven’t earned anything, but God gives us grace.

Be Swift to Hear, Slow to Speak, Slow to Wrath Marriage, Family and Children The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Armstrong, Joe 12/03/2016
This teaching looks at being slow to anger, what can cause anger, the effects that anger can have on your spouse, and how being forgiving and thankful can replace anger. We are shown how we should think before we speak in order to say the right words which will bless, build up, and meet needs of your spouse. The teaching also covers the importance of listening to what someone has to say in order to take care of them, and we are shown records of times where God listened to people that had needs then helped and encouraged them.
God’s Example of a Christian Couple: Aquila and Priscilla
God’s Example of a Christian Couple: Aquila and Priscilla Leadership and Service Marriage, Family and Children The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Chatten, Bob 09/03/2016
This teaching traces an example of a married couple in God’s Word, Aquila and Priscilla. This couple was able to bless a great number of people and had a significant impact on the movement of God’s Word due to their love and commitment. We trace their initial introduction to Paul through how they supported and helped him in his ministry, arranging their lives to go wherever God needed them to go. This husband-and-wife team provides a great example of love, service, and leadership for all married couples.
Building It the Right Way
Building It the Right Way Marriage, Family and Children The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Zolezzi, Steve 04/16/2016
The teaching shows how we can build our marriages according to God’s Word with God’s provision, which is Jesus Christ the chief cornerstone, instead of going man’s way, which emphasizes man’s work rather than the work God did in Christ. We see that as the Word saturates our minds and life, it will saturate our marriage. As we build our lives on Christ, walk in love, and let God’s Word dwell in us richly, our marriages become a microcosm of the great Mystery based on the works of Christ.
Being Naked and Not Ashamed
Being Naked and Not Ashamed Marriage, Family and Children The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Hunt, Tony 12/05/2015
The teaching starts out explaining how man and woman were originally naked and not ashamed before God, but after sin came in, they were ashamed and no longer were open, comfortable, and confident with God. The teacher shows examples of the walk of unbelief that came from this shame. Jesus Christ’s sacrifice made us righteous before God, making us pleasing in His sight despite our weaknesses and frailties. We believed and accepted God’s grace and can now stand before Him naked and without shame. The teacher shows examples of how we can live in grace with God and one another in our marriage with our spouse.
