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.”

Paul uses family relationships -- marriage and family -- to characterize ministry relationships (1Th 2:4-12, Eph 5:22-23; Eph 6:1-5). "Submitting to one another in the fear of God" (Eph 5:21). Blessings are given for us to become a channel of them. We need a relationship revolution: (1) there are only two kinds: good and bad; (2) examples of the contrast are the "Orange" and Bolshevik revolutions; (3) good revolutions are based on responsibility personal relationships; (4) every believer has been enlightened, given power, to have profound impact on the world around them (Mat 28:18-22); (5) this begins at home. Marriage becomes a living witness to Christ and church. Family illustrates love among the brethren (2Co 3:6).
More than any book Ephesians reveals the blessings from God based on our relationship with Jesus Christ by grace through faith. Eph 1:3 is the a key verse. Other key verses by chapter include Eph 2:8 Eph 3:19 Eph 4:1 Eph 5:18 and Eph 6:10-11.
