This conference was held in the spring 2013 in Colorado. It complements the two previous Bible conferences held in Arkansas and Northern Virginia.
In addition to being styled "an apostle to the Gentiles" (Rom 11:13), Paul could also be called the apostle of the Mystery. This "mystery" contained new revelation intended for a new people—the Church—living in a new age or dispensation of God’s plan.
"now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began, but now made manifest, and by the prophetic scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith …" Rom 16:25–26

Taking the Enigma Out of Paul’s Mystery – Colorado 2013

Ephesians #2

Eph 1:1-4 The will and work of God is highlighted in Chapter 1 (Eph 1:5, Eph 1:9, Eph 1:11). The trinity is noted in every chapter. This lesson includes biblical principles regarding church discipline -- restoring a member who is sinning (Gal 6:1-2). Method of restoring is covered in Mat 18:15-20. Private sins should be dealt with privately -- public sins publicly.Mat 15:18 "binding" on earth reflects what has been bound in heaven if handled biblically. To those that fall into sin, Satan tries to numb them to the damaging effects of sin (Rom 16:17-20). However, if you deal with it wisely (be obedient and separate as necessary), Satan will be crushed. There's a difference in dealing with family, than someone on the outside (1Co 5:9-13). "Judging" and exercising "judgement" is different; Paul says to apply scripture. Biblical separation is in order (breaking fellowship); God does the discipline (2Th 3:6-15, Eph 5:8-21). The call to a believer in darkness ("sleep-death") is to "awake" (Eph 5:14) or die the sin unto death (1Jo 5:16).
