The Gospel Conference Series


 

The Gospel According to Isaiah

“The Evangelist of the Old Testament
Anticipates the Coming of the Savior”
Northern Virginia Bible Conference
April 1-3, 2016
 
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” ISA 61:1
Many scholars consider Isaiah to be the evangelist of the Old Testament. This year, the theme for the Northern Virginia BTBM Bible Conference was “The Gospel According to Isaiah.” Gene examined Isaiah’s rich prophecies given in the eighth century before the birth of Christ. There is an astounding array of passages that portray the virgin birth, the unique hypostatic union of God and man, the proclamation of John the Baptizer, and then the life of Jesus—His ministry and substitutionary death, followed by His resurrection and future glory.There are even find hints of the call and formation of the Church—the Body of Christ—and our own purpose in the story of the ages.
Jesus read the theme verse in the Synagogue in Nazareth (LUK 4:16-19) at the inauguration of His ministry.

Time To Endure 2

God intends us to endure as Job did (Jam 5:11). Who can straighten what is crooked? Every life has a crooked thing placed by God. Jacob, as an example, after wrestling with the Lord clung to Him. He had to confess his name which means "swindler". God's purpose begins with humility. Job is the oldest book in the bible. God and men assessed Job as honorable (Job 1:1-5). While God won't tell us why we are suffering, He will tell us what we should do. God saw fear in the heart of Job (Job 3:25). Nothing can penetrate the shield around you without God's permission. Every suffering has a "use-by" date. Job worshiped God through His suffering and acknowledged His Sovereignty (Job 1:20-22). When you falter God is not surprised. Satan arranges to touch Job's body (Job 2:2-6). Sometimes those closest to us hates us for our faith. (Job 2:7-9). The only proper response to Sovereignty is utter humility (Jam 1:2). Wisdom is knowing what matters. God changing your circumstances will not help you, but changing you will.
