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.

The Transforming Power of Abiding in Christ #7

1st John - The Transforming Power of Abiding in Christ - Northern VA 2007

Eph 4:1-13 - three levels of unity: of the Spirit; of service; of faith. 1Jo 5:1-21 - Necessity of cleansing, obedience to His commandments (love one another as I have loved you). We are all called to be martyrs - "Not my will but Thine be done." Jam 1:22 - Key to victorious life is surrender. Faith conquers fear. Effective prayer has two aspects: 1. praise and exult God, 2. pray for somebody else.

Scripture References: James 1:22, John 5:1-21, Ephesians 4:1-13

From Series: "1st John - The Transforming Power of Abiding in Christ - Northern VA 2007"

This series details John's description of our being 'in Him' - abiding in Christ. This contrasts Paul's use of the phrase expressing positional truth. The key verse is 1Jo 2:6 'He who says he abides in Him ought to walk just as He walked.' The series opens many truths in 1st John while covering the entire epistle.
