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.
The Mystery: God’s Masterpiece
The Great Mystery Mountain Top Inn and Resort Gilmore, Michael 11/04/2018 11/04/2018
A mystery is a secret, but once it is revealed, it can be known. Why was the Mystery so important? One reason is the impact to the Adversary’s kingdom; had they known it, they would not have crucified Jesus Christ. God had to work hard just to get Peter to go to the house of a Gentile. If you look around today, the One Body is separated into little groups of body parts. The Mystery, the One Body of Christ, is God’s great crowning work. Our great crowning work as members is how we give to the edifying of the whole Body. Get busy doing what you do instead of worrying about what other people do better than you do. We are the fulfillment of God’s dream.
The Sound Mind
Renewed Mind Mountain Top Inn and Resort Armstrong, Joe 11/04/2018 11/04/2018
A sound mind is one that admonishes itself. In this teaching, we cover how to maintain a sound mind as mentioned in 2 Timothy 1:7. The teacher emphasizes the importance of thinking what God’s Word says in order to maintain a healthy mind throughout your life. We look specifically at Colossians 3 for examples of thinking patterns that a sound mind follows such as forgiving people, loving people, letting God’s peace rule in your mind, and remembering what you are thankful for.
By Love, Serve Deliverance
Deliverance Leadership and Service Love Mountain Top Inn and Resort Zolezzi, Steve 11/03/2018 11/03/2018
This teaching looks at the relationship between love, deliverance, and service. There are three parts: (1) being a shepherd; (2) being moved with compassion; and (3) the Apostle Paul’s “manner of entering in” from the book of Thessalonians. Jesus Christ laid down his life so that we can have abundant and eternal lives. Are we willing to lay our lives down in service to help other people? Jesus Christ’s compassion led to God’s Word being taught, the sick being healed, and people getting fed. Paul loved and gave everything he had because people were dear unto him. This resulted in an explosion of God’s Word! Love combined with the Word of God brings deliverance and helps people walk worthy. We can be moved with compassion today towards people who need the love and power of God so they can get God’s best.
