So Mightily Grew the Word of God and Prevailed
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.

You Cannot Serve God and Mammon
Believing Prosperity The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Armstrong, Joe 01/01/2012 01/01/2012
Jesus Christ stated that we cannot serve God and mammon, where mammon refers to what is trusted in the world. A real relationship with God takes effort, but it is great gain. God wants to take care of people. It’s the truth that makes you free from deep negative emotions, fear, and anxiety. There is no other refuge and strength except for God. God should not be just a hobby for you; you should addict yourself to God and His Word, putting God first above anything else.

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.
God’s Faithfulness to Us and Our Faithfulness to God
Believing Integrity of the Word Renewed Mind The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Nafey, Amanda 12/31/2011 12/31/2011
First, the Hebrew word ‘āman and the Greek word pistos, both of which are translated “faithful”, are discussed. Then, we look at God’s faithfulness to His Word and to us as we believe His Word. Finally, we look at our faithfulness to God which is in caring for the rightly divided Word.
Overcoming Fear
Believing Renewed Mind The Fellowlaborers’ House (2 Baier) Carr, Jerry 12/31/2011 12/31/2011
Believing God’s Word brings confidence in Him; fear is the enemy of believing . In this teaching, we examine the record of the man who was blind from birth being healed by Jesus Christ. Then, it covers what fear does to us and that God helps deliver us from fear.

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.
