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.”

Living Sacrifice 29

Rom 12:1-2 is a summary of the book of Romans. Spiritual non-conformity "do not be conformed" This world demands conformity; but we can't (Phi 3:20, 1Jn 2:15). Sermon on the mount is to His disciples (Mat 5:1-48). The spiritual non-conformist is a disciple; he lives in a state of blessing. "blessed" means one who is in the environment of God. Much if Christianity today has lost it's focus on God(1Jn 2:28). Disciples are spiritually poor (Mat 5:3) -- destitute having total dependence on God. "mourn" is true repentance (Mat 5:4) -- part of your character (Jam 4:8-9). "Meek" = gentle (Mat 5:5). "hungers and thirst for Righteousness" (Mat 5:6) -- desperate for right relationship.

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.
