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.

PAYC Monday Night 1st Session



Rom 12:1-2 The kind of worship God likes is when we let ourselves be transformed by His Word.


1. The power of God: the mercies of God, and the grace of God. God’s mercy spares us from what we do deserve, and grace gives us the things we don’t deserve. The power of God comes through the truth of His Word.


2. The people of God: a family under the heavenly Father, that comes into being through the Holy Spirit in new birth.   Every believer is a new creature. God is still in the process of transforming us. Is there anything we need to change? The change has already begun, but it’s not over. You have access to all the riches and power of your heavenly Father, and you can draw on it at any time to meet any problem you have.


3. The purpose/plan of God: to transform us, to change us to be more like His Son. Transformation means sanctification; to set apart to God for an honorable purpose


We are all on a journey, and none of us are finished yet. 


1th 4:1-3 God’s will for my life is sanctification/transformation


1pe 1:1-2 Sanctification is the will of God for your life, and the Holy Spirit has to do it


2ti 2:20-21 Sanctification: the will of God, accomplished by the Holy Spirit, and is the way we are supposed to go


Scripture References: Romans 12:1-2

From Series: "Be Transformed - PA Youth Camp 2009"
