How I Got Into God’s Word – Chrissy Cahill
Love Witnessing and Undershepherding Greenkill Conference Center Cahill, Chrissy 04/27/2019 04/27/2019
Chrissy Cahill shares her personal experience on how she prayed for an opportunity to understand God’s Word, and God answered her prayer. After years of hungering after God’s Word, she attended a Halloween party and heard the rightly divided Word of God for the first time. Chrissy recounts believers standing up for her and demonstrating tremendous love. She decides to stick around after seeing God’s love, how God answers prayers, and how the Word fits together. We should be careful not to rule out people when deciding on who to speak God’s Word to. The Word of God and His love changes lives.

The Example of a Believer
Lifestyle of a Believer Love Greenkill Conference Center Armstrong, Joe 04/27/2019 04/27/2019
This teaching is about being an example of a believer and being a kind person. A believer is someone who trusts God and His promises. A believer can say in the worst of situations “be of good cheer” because they trust in God and not in men. Believers have joy, stay calm, and can even sleep through storms. Our God can do wonderful things. Believers expect God to take care of them and know that He can turn a situation around. We don’t live our lives filled with fear because we have confidence in God. Our examples as believers affect other people and can help them to not be afraid. People can know how kind God is when you show forth kindness. We want to be loving and kind in our actions as God is loving and kind.
Our Attitude Towards God’s Word
Believing Integrity of the Word Greenkill Conference Center Chatten, Bob 04/27/2019 04/27/2019
We are taught how knowing that God’s Word and His will are in the scriptures allows us to go to them with confidence. We read of a living Word that is always dynamic, and we have a God who is omnipotent. We should have the hunger to see God work, always expecting that the pure Word of God believed will produce the desired effect.
How I Got Into God’s Word – Lantz Arrington
Love Witnessing and Undershepherding Greenkill Conference Center Arrington, Lantz 04/27/2019 04/27/2019
Lantz gives a heartfelt overview of how he got into the Word and what attracted him to it. He grew up in “churchianity” but wondered why his church did not include all different types of people like his school did. His mom encouraged him to try other types of churches, and he searched for a long time. One day, a believer invited him over for dinner, and he stayed for his first fellowship afterwards. He gives examples of believers who invested their time and energy in him, demonstrated love and care towards him, and believed in him. He heard the truth of God, how He loves us, how He is light, and how He doesn’t kill or make people sick. The day he spoke in tongues he knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that he was a son of God with all power!
Personal Experience
Prayer and Outreach
Prayer Greenkill Conference Center Gilmore, Michael 04/27/2019 04/27/2019
The teaching shows how prayer is an essential part of a believer’s life and an essential part of a fellowship as believers together in one accord. We see in the New Testament what is focused on in prayer and what the believers prayed for. We see how it is God Who is the one that is at the center of all genuine outreach.

Sounding Out
Sounding Out Believing Renewed Mind Witnessing and Undershepherding Greenkill Conference Center Carr, Jerry 04/26/2019 04/26/2019
This opening teaching to the 2019 Spring Advance covers how important it is for our lives to be examples of God’s Word. We are to pay attention to what we are believing about ourselves and other people, and we are to always be loving even when it is inconvenient. We can speak about and operate the manifestations, being out among the people of this world. We are reminded that speaking the Word to even one person can cause the Word to sound out across the world.
