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.

Power of Praise #3

Every message should moves us in a direction (Ecc 12:11); the Word of God "goads" us (2Co 13:1).  Exodus generation began with praise then complained (Exo 16:2, Exo 16:6, Exo 16:8, Exo 16:12, Exo 16:24). Thy missed the rewards. What made Moses different than the Exodus generation (Psa 103:1-22)?  Moses understood the ways of God while Israel only understood His acts (Psa 103:7). God rewards faithfulnes (1Sa 2:30). Paul arrested in Phillipi (Act 16:22-25) began to pray and praise God affecting many. We reap the reward of our praises if we do it in the beginning of the trial. After God delivers us we should praise Him, but the real reward comes from praise in the midst of it (Psa 42:1-11). Faith trusts in the dark. Faith is the evidence of things not seen.
