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.”

When we begin to understand the majesty of the universe, we get an inkling of the majesty of His plan for us (Job 38:1-41). Suffering, in God's plan, has the purpose of developing endurance through new wisdom, new joy, new faith -- the crown of life (Jam 1:1-27). Job 1:19 is the outline of James. James is also a commentary on Job (Jam 5:7-11). Paul explains suffering purpose using Christ's pattern at the cross and His provision through resurrection (Gal 2:20).God allows us to go through training so that at the judgment seat, we are the victor.
Heb 12:1-3 says we're in the arena God has predetermined for us. We have our own personal race. We start the race when we become Christians. The race will be finished. We race against ourselves (Spirit vs flesh). The end is evaluated by Jesus Christ.
