These lessons were presented May 23–24, 2014 at the Rocky Mountain Bible Conference in Denver, Colorado. At this conference, Gene teaches on passages from the book of Hebrews including the following subjects:
►  Hope as an “anchor of the soul”
►  Eternal security
►  “Pressing on to maturity”
►  Baptism
►  Christ as the perfect sacrifice
►  Process of “falling away” (to include the sin unto death)
►  Priesthood, ambassadorship, and ministry of the individual believer
The key verse for the conference is Heb 6:18–20:
“That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation,
we who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: which hope we have as an anchor of the soul,
both sure and steadfast, and which enters within the veil; where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, even Jesus,
having become a High Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.”

Psalm 15 - Abiding With the Lord

Psalm 15 - Abiding With the Lord

Cities of refuge are pictures of Christ: (1) Cadesh mean holiness (Psa 89:18), (2) Shechem - power or shoulder - the mighty arm of God Isa 53:1, Psa 44:3); (3) Hebron - united (Mat 1:23); (4) Bezer - fortress (Psa 18:2, Psa 31:1-2); (5) Ramoth - height or exalted (Phi 2:9); (6) Golan - exile or stranger (Heb 13:12-13). Psalm 15 may have been written to go with Psalm 24. David wrote it bringing the Ark of the Covenant (1Ch 16:1-6) - a picture of the Lord coming in to dwell with His people. David asks " LORD,who shall abide in Your tabernacle..." Seraphim shield their eyes and cry "Holy, Holy, Holy" (Isa 6:2). Only Christ fulfills this Psalm perfectly (Joh 8:35). We are strangers in this world and are to live as if we just passing through. By faith in Christ we've become His household; we should abide with Him (Heb 3:6, Eph 3:17). Through the filling of the Holy Spirit we are able to abide -- live lives of fellowship -- with Him (Eph 5:18, 1Jo 1:3). Psalm 15 illustrates the great commandment - love for God and neighbor (Mat 22:37-39). The character needed to abide is stated - walks uprightly, works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart" (Psa 15:2) - inner man is reflected in the outer work. Faith in the soul produces right actions. There is no fellowship with God for hearers and nor doers (Jam 1:22, Jam 2:17). Obedience to this standard is possible through the filling of the Spirit (Rom 8:4). "Out of the treasure of the heart, the mouth speaks" (Mat 12:34). David illustrates conduct of a person in fellowship (Psa 15:3-4, Lev 19:16-18). It's impossible to have fellowship with God and malign other people. "Vile" means "to utterly despise or treat as having little worth" (Gen 25:34). Those who fear the Lord honors Him (1Sa 2:30, Rom 13:7). Use of money is also a test -- you don't try to profit from brothers (Lev 25:36-37, Exo 22:25) . Abiding is the word Jesus uses for fellowship in Him (Joh 15:1-10). In fellowship our works abide forever (1Co 3:14). Psalm 15 illustrates standard (i.e., "the fire") by which works will be judged (1Co 3:13).
