Being Real is Believing Who You Are
The Great Mystery The New Birth Renewed Mind Sonship Rights Hasbrouck Heights VFW (Hasbrouck Heights, NJ) Carr, Lissy 02/16/2014 02/16/2014
This teaching is about our true identity in Christ and not believing anything less than what the Word says about us. We shouldn’t let our past hold us back from where we are now and we don’t have time to entertain anything less than the Word. We’ve been delivered and we are sons of God. We should be more convinced about what the Word says about us than what the world says about us. Where God has placed us in the Body is right. We should stand out in the world and not cover ourselves to fit in, just as Jesus Christ did not try to fit in with the world in his times. People cannot take away God’s spiritual seed that’s in you, but they can try to convince you that you are not righteous or victorious. Spend time with God to see how you fit in the body and what you can do. Do you want to please God? Believe who you are and believe what the Word says. Shine your light, don’t dim it down.
Being Strong in Forgiveness
The Great Mystery Greenkill Conference Center Armstrong, Joe 06/27/2019 06/27/2019
This teaching looks at the great importance of forgiving ourselves and forgiving other people. There’s more to forgiveness than just you because it affects the whole Body of Christ. Peter is given as an example of forgiving ourselves. Peter made some serious mistakes in his life, but that did not prevent him from receiving holy spirit or performing miracles. He did not let his mistakes, recent or not, hold him back from helping people. Even though we are not perfect, we still have holy spirit and are worthy of receiving revelation. Then, Joseph is given as an example of forgiving other people. Joseph was treated extremely unfairly by his own family, yet he knew that God could make it right. We forgive and expect that God is bigger than that person in your life. We don’t have the right to seek retribution, only God does. If we want to be around people, we will have to forgive a lot. We cannot expect people to be perfect. We do not wrestle against people because the cause of evil in this world is the Adversary. Everyone in life makes mistakes, and we have to get over it because people still need us. People are going to make big mistakes towards you, but you still need them. Love sees more, but it also sees less.
Forgiveness, The One Body
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.
Fellowship with God and Others

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.
