Labor of Love
Love Greenkill Conference Center Lovering, Jocelyn 04/28/2019 04/28/2019
This teaching explains how the love of God should be our motivation to speak God’s Word and to take care of one another. God’s love has no selfish motive, and many times our old man would prefer we not love. We can rise above the hurt and love people whether or not we feel they deserve it. We will see the fruit of loving people, even if it takes time.
How I Got Into God’s Word – Chrissy Cahill
Love Witnessing and Undershepherding Greenkill Conference Center Cahill, Chrissy 04/27/2019 04/27/2019
Chrissy Cahill shares her personal experience on how she prayed for an opportunity to understand God’s Word, and God answered her prayer. After years of hungering after God’s Word, she attended a Halloween party and heard the rightly divided Word of God for the first time. Chrissy recounts believers standing up for her and demonstrating tremendous love. She decides to stick around after seeing God’s love, how God answers prayers, and how the Word fits together. We should be careful not to rule out people when deciding on who to speak God’s Word to. The Word of God and His love changes lives.
Personal Experience
The Example of a Believer
Lifestyle of a Believer Love Greenkill Conference Center Armstrong, Joe 04/27/2019 04/27/2019
This teaching is about being an example of a believer and being a kind person. A believer is someone who trusts God and His promises. A believer can say in the worst of situations “be of good cheer” because they trust in God and not in men. Believers have joy, stay calm, and can even sleep through storms. Our God can do wonderful things. Believers expect God to take care of them and know that He can turn a situation around. We don’t live our lives filled with fear because we have confidence in God. Our examples as believers affect other people and can help them to not be afraid. People can know how kind God is when you show forth kindness. We want to be loving and kind in our actions as God is loving and kind.
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!

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.
God Has Given Us Love
Believing Love Mountain Top Inn and Resort Gilmore, Liz 11/03/2018 11/03/2018
God has not given us fear but, instead, has given us love. It’s a spiritual love, an unconditional love. Always start with God’s love to know how to love yourself. It will take God the ages to come to fully show us His love. He gave, and all love is giving. Love is powerful; we can take people from death spiritually to life. Love is a decision of the will. You choose. Love is rich in mercy. We did not deserve to be loved, but he loved us anyway. You have to know God to imitate Him. You can’t truly walk in God’s love without knowing God’s Word. We hide the Word in our hearts and apply it; that is how love is perfected. Love grows as it is manifested and walked upon. It’s something you keep working at. It’s in the Word and in our actions that we love one another. It is not just knowing the Word but acting on the Word. We represent Jesus Christ here on earth.
