God’s Grace and Power
Receiving the Holy Spirit and Manifestations Mountain Top Inn and Resort Carr, Jerry 11/03/2018 11/03/2018
This teaching is about God’s grace and power. It looks at the benefits of the manifestations of the holy spirit and goes through examples of the believers in Acts operating God’s power. We live in the Administration of Grace and the Mystery; we keep the Mystery alive by rightly dividing the Word of God and operating the manifestations. God has given us His Word so that we know who we are and what we’ve been freely given by His grace, and then He wants us to speak those things. We want people to know that they can manifest God’s power so they are not riddled with fear. God has given every believer nine wonderful ways to manifest and operate His power. It is imperative that we operate the power of God in our lives to be strong in the Lord and to be able to help others.

No Fear in Love, We are Sons
Overcoming Fear Sonship Rights Mountain Top Inn and Resort Waite, Michelle 11/03/2018 11/03/2018
Fear is the enemy of believing, and, wherever there is fear, we cannot have believing. As soon as fear was introduced, God gave the plan of salvation so that sonship could be available. This teaching looks at many verses containing the word “Father” which describes God as a nourisher, protector, and upholder. When we are assured of God’s perfect love and spiritual sonship, it melts the fear from our hearts. Jesus Christ was an example of someone who was completely sure of his sonship and God’s love for him. He was able to be fearless in the midst of terrifying situations. We can also have peaceful seas in our hearts when we look to God. We have access to God Almighty into the throne of His grace. We can quiet ourselves down when we remind ourselves of God’s Word including our incorruptible sonship and God’s unfaltering love.
Fear is Not from God
Overcoming Fear Renewed Mind Mountain Top Inn and Resort Gross, Patrick 11/03/2018 11/03/2018
This teaching is about fear not being from God and how we can combat it by focusing on what God has given us: power, love and a sound mind. The teacher compares fear to a hunting snare; it is targeted, subtle, and the more that one struggles, the tighter it gets. It is a deadly trap. We can escape the tricks of the Adversary by putting our trust in God. Fear has to be dissolved by the confidence that we have in God, not in ourselves. We have to be watchful of when those traps are being set for us because fear robs us of God’s promises. Fear is a great opportunity to believe God. We can extinguish fear with renewed mind believing as quick as the hiss of putting out a cigarette in a puddle. God wants to fight our battles for us, and He’s proven Himself faithful over and over again. In a poor or mediocre life, there is fear; in a more than abundant life, there cannot be room for fear. Let’s be confident in our God and keep the Word on in our brains.

Metaphors Related to Jesus Christ

This teaching looks at several metaphors used for Jesus Christ in the Bible including “I am the light of the world,” “I am the bread of life,” “I am the door,” “I am the good shepherd,” “I am the vine,” and “that Rock was Christ”. God uses figures of speech in the Bible to highlight important sections for us to consider further. Understanding figures of speech in the Bible is crucial to us knowing whether something is literal or figurative. These figures of speech draw attention to Jesus Christ’s accomplishments and how his life continues to affect ours.

Parables
How God’s Word Interprets Itself Integrity of the Word Cinardo Home (Rutherford, NJ) Zolezzi, Steve 11/11/2010 11/11/2010
A parable is an extended simile, usually with only one point of comparison. There are some questions to keep in mind when reading parables: (1) what is the point of comparison? (2) who is the audience of the parable? (3) is there an orientalism that needs to be understood? and (4) what is the context? Examples are given to explain each key, including parables with one or two points of comparison, a review of parables with an emphasis on who Jesus Christ was speaking to, three parables about the joy in heaven over one sinner that repents, and the context of Matthew 22:14, “For many are called, but few are chosen.” We can have great joy when we help people with God’s Word because it helps people to change and brings them closer to their Heavenly Father.
