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

Cross to the Crown #7

Life is a pilgrimage (Psa 84:5-9). God uses our bad situations to be a blessing to others "strength to strength"; Rom 1:17- "faith to faith"; 2Co 3:18 - "glory to glory". 5 mountain peaks of faith: (1) Hebrew "AMEN" - beginning faith - means to "lean on a staff". (2) BATACH - Pro 3:5-6 - faith as a wrestling match - cast your cares on the Lord (1Pe 5:7). (3) CHASAH (Psa 57:1, Heb 6:18, Psa 84:9) - to find a safe refuge. (4) YACHAL - applying dressing to a wound (Job 13:15). (5). QAWAH (Isa 40:31) - small threads woven into a strong unbreakable rope (Ecc 9:4). Harold Gatty, famous navigator, taught that in navigating you have to know where you are to get where you're going. If you have a map and compass internally, you would be able to orient to any terrain in front of you. The Bible is our map; the Holy Spirit is the compass. Life of faith: (1) childlike belief and trust in God's Word (Rom 10:17); (2) faith focuses on the invisible things of God's Word (2Co 5:7); (3) faith is the only way to please Him (Heb 11:6); (4) fath is a one word summary (Hab 2:4, Rom 1:17, Gal 3:11, Heb 10:38); (5) faith transfers Word of God to life experience through love (Gal 5:6). (6) everything not of faith is sin (Rom 14:23). (7) after salvation is "faith plus works" (Eph 2:10).

From Series: "The Cross to the Crown"

To get from 'the cross to the crown' we need to make decisions to live a life of spiritual dynamics using God's provisions -- His Word and Spirit. This series given in early 2006 before Gene moved back to the States outlines ten aspects of our discipleship.
