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 Word Working In You #4

1st Thessalonians - The Word Working in You - Uniontown PA 2007

Reasons for trials (1Th 3:11-13). Trials make clear the path of God(1Th 3:11). Trials faced in faith causes growth and produces fruit (1Th 3:12, Heb 11:34). Trails produce strength in spirit and soul -- "establish your hearts" (1Th 3:13). Trails sanctify the believer -- refine our life (1Pe 1:7, 2Co 12:7-9). Ruth and Boaz marriage illustrates sanctification (Rut 3:6-18, 1Th 4:3-4). Chapter 4 (1Th 4:1-12): the essence of sanctification processing is Word of God +faith + testing. The enemy of sanctification is lust, passion, self gratification. Luk 9:23 - if you want to find life we must deny self, take up the cross daily and follow Christ. The Spirit has five works ().

From Series: "1st Thessalonians - The Word Working in You - Uniontown PA 2007"

The Word Working in You' is a study in 1st Thessalonians recorded at Uniontown PA on 19-20 October 2007. The primary focus of the Paul's epistles to the Thessalonians written A.D. 50-51 is Christian living in light of eternity which results in balance. The 'bookends' of 1Th 1:3 and 1Th 5:8 reveal the book's theme: the well-balanced Christian life. The book also teaches that God's Word works through faith. Interestingly this epistle is closely related in content to the Old Testament book of Ruth which provides a perfect biblical illustration of the practical truths of this book.
