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.

Losing To Gain #3

Philippians - Losing To Gain - June 2008

We study the Word so that we can be changed -- transformed into the image of Christ. Paul wants the Philippians to know that the Hand of God's Providence was working toward the benefit of the Gospel and them (Phi 1:12-13, Phi 1:24-25). Philippians were using their material blessings for others (Phi 4:10-13, Phi 4:19). "I have learned" (Phi 4:11). Paul was a disciple (2Ti 2:15); it takes a disciple to make a disciple (Joh 13:7, Jam 1:21). Christ is both the master of the school and its topic. "I know how" developed through practice. "Wisdom is justified [verified] in her children" (Mat 11:19, Luk 7:35). "I can do". We have reasons to endure the little inconveniences to prepare for the big ones (Joh 14:17-18, Heb 13:5-6).
