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.”

Anchor of the Soul — Colorado 2014

Living Sacrifice 02

A sense of urgency is important (Rom 12:1-2, Ecc 3:1-8) because time is short and ordered. God's plan appointed our time and it's comprehensive. There's a right thing to do at any time. God has planned these things. Sometimes God is planting spiritual seed, but other times uprooting -- plowing up the ground of our soul (Ecc 3:2b). An appropriate time for emotion (Ecc 3:4, 1Co 13:11). A time to pick up stones and time to use them -- example David (Ecc 3:5a). Don't be hypocritical (Ecc 3:5b, Rom 12:9). There's a time to keep silent and to speak (Ecc 3:7). Example is when someone is being slandered -- we should speak up. Time is fleeting (Psa 90:12). Failure to manage time with a sense of urgency (Jam 4:13-15). Don't let a sense of urgency turn into haste. (1) dangers in haste -- "haste makes waste" (Psa 31:22, Psa 116:11). "He who trusts in Him will not make haste" (Isa 28:16); (2) God has established four limits for us (Job 14:5): space, matter, intellect, time. (3) When we make haste we violate the limits (e.g. time) hurry casues accidents. (4) When you're in a hurry, you pay the highest price for common things. Ask God to show you the pace you should have for your life.

From Series: "Living Sacrifice (1995)"

Romans 12 and specifically Rom 12:1-2 is a pivot point between the doctrinal section and application of the book. This series methodically uses this passage to outline aspects or doctrines of the christian life -- God's provision and our prospect. Our lives can be acceptable to God if we progress on the path He intends. Living Sacrifice presents 12 doctrines: (1) redeeming time; (2) standing (positional truth); (3) self-presentation - availability; (4) approval; (5) service; (6) provision; (7) spiritual warfare; (8) conformity; (9) spiritual advance; (10) renewal; (11) divine guidance; (12) abundant life.
