The Gospel Conference Series


 

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.

A Faith That Endures #7

James - A Faith That Endures

We need to rejoice in our position in Christ. Repentance should be a daily exercise -- examining ourselves (Jam 4:7-10, Jam 1:2-4). While trials build patience and endurance, we have to realize our spiritual poverty -- dependence on God (Jam 4:10). When we make ourselves judge we usurp Christ's role (Jam 4:11, Mat 7:1). We will be judged by the law of liberty (Jam 2:12), and don't know enough to judge (Jam 4:12, Rom 14:10). A "Judge" puts down others (Jam 2:4). We'll be judged with the measure we judge others (Luk 27:6-20). The standard we need to hold is in Jam 3:17. The hearer knows (oida in greek) to do good but doesn't and sins (Jam 4:17). Self-centered believers don't take action when they see others in need (Jam 5:1-6). Christ is the "Just" we have killed (Jam 5:6). Only Christians can "crucify" the Son afresh and put Him to open shame (Heb 6:10, Heb 10:17, Heb 10:25).

From Series: "James - A Faith That Endures"

Given a the Washington DC Conference in November 2007 this 8-part study in James examines our faith. We are to be 'doers' and not 'hearers' only. By this we are 'justified' before men (not God). In this way James complements (and precedes) Paul writings.
