So Mightily Grew the Word of God and Prevailed
Lifestyle of a Believer The First-Century Church Witnessing and Undershepherding The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Chatten, Bob 01/01/2012 01/01/2012
We see the lifestyle of the believers in the first-century Church in detail from Acts 2:41-47. They had respect for God and each other, and they lived with love, grace, and commitment, and that allowed the Mystery to live. As a result, many people were saved and came to a knowledge of the truth. The Word will prevail when we are truly committed.
Service in the Book of Philippians
The First Century Church The Great Mystery Leadership and Service The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Zolezzi, Steve 12/31/2011 12/31/2011
This teaching looks at the lack of service in the Philippian church due to wrong practice regarding the Mystery by not serving one another. Jesus Christ, Timothy, and Epaphroditus are given as examples of people who helped correct this by demonstrating right practice in the area of service to help others live the Mystery and walk in love. If the Mystery is going to live, it takes people having a great heart to serve and give, not being wrapped up in themselves, but looking for needs in the Body to bless the people they are with and bring out their best. Service starts with a decision to stand fast together so we can do the utmost for the highest and serve the Word of life.
Speaking in Tongues in the Book of Acts
The First Century Church Receiving the Holy Spirit and Manifestations The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Hunt, Joey 12/31/2011 12/31/2011
We are told how we have the ministry of reconciliation and that speaking in tongues is our proof in the senses realm that we know for sure that we are born again. The five records in the Book of Acts where people received holy spirit are summarized and one is looked at in depth, showing an example of how Peter listened to God to bring the Gentiles to the new birth.
Vision
The First Century Church Believing Prayer Greenkill Conference Center Carr, Jerry 07/01/2016 07/01/2016
The teaching covers the record from Acts 12 where Peter is put in prison after James was killed and how the church responded with prayer together in this intense life or death situation. Peter gets out by God sending an angel and returns to where the believers were together, praying. Peter’s miraculous release from prison along with the prayers of the church caused the Word to grow and multiply.
Out of Them All, the Lord Delivered Me
Dealing with the Adversary Deliverance Prayer Renewed Mind The First-Century Church Greenkill Conference Center Armstrong, Joe 06/30/2016 06/30/2016
In this teaching, Joe shares that this life has a rhythm; bad things will happen, but, when we bear up under the pressure, God will deliver. It covers examples of believers who were delivered by God as they endured pressure. To conclude, Joe instructs that, when pressure comes, we should pray, grab hold of our minds, and, once the deliverance comes, shake off the dust of our feet.
A Life of Pressure
The First Century Church Leadership and Service Greenkill Conference Center Armstrong, Joe 06/30/2016 06/30/2016
In this teaching, Joe handles the pressure God’s Word says believers will have in this life. He covers how, because we have Christ within, we represent the absent Christ here on earth and that we will be treated like the absent Christ as we pose a threat to the Adversary’s kingdom. He portrays examples of Paul’s life and some of the pressures he encountered as he and the believers stood on God’s Word and moved God’s Word. Shows how these believers continued to speak God’s Word with great boldness and joy. He highlights Paul’s example of leadership being up front with the people and taking the pressure on. Lastly, he demonstrates the importance of bearing up under pressure and continuing to move even when the pressures on.
