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.”

Ephesians #41

Ephesians #41

Biblical spirituality sequence in Joh 2:1-11: (1) command of Christ (Word of God), (2) obedience of servants, (3) everyone is blessed. Seven False concepts: (1) Cain bypassed sacrifice (Gen 4:4-5, Jud 1:11, Heb 11:4); (2) Job's friend Eliphaz thought spiritual life was based on experience (4:16) ; (3) leaven of the Pharisees -- legalism (Mat 16:6, Mat 23:1-39); (4) Judaism dead works (Heb 6:1, Heb 9:14); (5) taboos -- what you don't do (Col 2:20-23); (6) Religious exhibition (Mat 6:1-16); (7) Religious Intellectualism -- Gnosticism (1Co 8:1-2). Eph 5:18 is a permissive passive command -- (corrected "let yourself be filled by the Spirit" (Col 3:15-16). Other commands regarding the Spirit: "Grieve not the Spirit" -- sins of commission (Eph 4:30); "Quench not the Spirit" -- sins of omission (1Th 5:19); "Walk in the Spirit" (Gal 5:16, Gal 5:25). Descriptive spirituality terms: "Full cup" (Psa 23:5); "Rivers of living water" (Joh 7:38); "Fullness of Joy" (Joh 15:11, Rom 15:29); "Fullness of wisdom" (Col 1:9, Col 3:16); "Fullness of God -- the love of Christ" Eph 3:19; "Personal self-offering - yield, surrender or present yourself" (Rom 6:13, Rom 12:1-2, Luk 9:23). Things biblical spirituality makes possible: (1) Walk in good works (Eph 2:10); (2) Growing up as children (Eph 3:13-16); (3) Walk worthy(Eph 4:1); (4) "Overcoming walk (Eph 4:17); (5) Walk in the love of Christ (Eph 5:2); (6) Walk in light of the Word (Eph 5:8); (7) Walk in the Wisdom of God (Eph 5:15-17). Life changes from biblical spirituality (Eph 5:19-26): ministry to others -- a self forgetfulness (Mat 9:16 Jesus prayer illustrates focus on others); foundation of inner joy (Joh 15:11, Mat 5:1-12); gratitude (1th 5:18); submissiveness (Eph 5:21); true worship.
