Forgiving One Another
Lifestyle of a Believer Greenkill Conference Center Chatten, Bob 04/28/2012 04/28/2012
This teaching takes an in depth look at how God forgives us, the excuses we sometimes use to avoid forgiving, and how these excuses do not hold up to God’s Word. There are no Biblical reasons for withholding forgiveness. Forgiveness is an extension of God’s mercy and a ministering of God’s grace to each other. It is a reminder of all God has really given us. It is a shining through of the Christ in us which allows us to overcome the old man nature. Forgiveness purges the body of Christ of poisons like strife and bitterness. God made it as easy as possible to receive forgiveness from Him, and, therefore, as easy as possible for us to extend forgiveness to each other because God’s goal is fellowship. One great way to be especially good to the household is to be quick to forgive, to be gracious and merciful in our forgiving, so that the fellowship among the saints is renewed, restored, and maintained.
Forgiveness, The Body of Christ
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
Loving Each Other
Lifestyle of a Believer Love Who God Is Greenkill Conference Center Armstrong, Joe 04/28/2012 04/28/2012
In this teaching, we are taught to know what love is by first understanding who God is and how He treats us. He thinks of us kindly and affectionately. God wanted someone to love, and that’s us! Since we represent Christ in this world, we should act like sons of God who love God and other people. Everything we do, including our thoughts, affect other people. People’s lives are important, so don’t be afraid to take action in love.

The Family of God
How Jesus Christ Prepared Us to Walk in the Spirit
Jesus Christ’s Example Receiving the Holy Spirit and Manifestations Greenkill Conference Center Gilmore, Michael 05/01/2011 05/01/2011
Jesus Christ was God’s plan for bridging the gap between the natural man and the spiritual realm. In this teaching, we look at select examples in the Gospel of John in which Jesus Christ explained how holy spirit works and demonstrated how to see things spiritually. We also look at the example of Samuel when he first learned to hear from God by revelation, and we cover from verses in some New Testament epistles that highlight specifics about what the gift of holy spirit means for us.
