The Gospel Conference Series


Gene presented The Gospel According to Moses at the first annual Shenandoah Valley Bible Conference held April 21-23, 2017 in Winchester, Virginia.
This series is intended to demonstrate that the Gospel message, focusing on the Person and work of Jesus Christ, is the central message of the entire Bible. The coming of the Messiah and His saving work of redemption is presented throughout the Old Testament through direct prophetic statements, as well as using types and shadows. New Testament authors repeatedly refer to Old Testament expectations of the coming of the Savior—the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians #39

Ephesians #39

Believers need to be subject to one another (Eph 5:21). This is an attitude under control of the Spirit. "Submit" is a military word and means "take your place in ranks" in three relationships: marriage, family, and master/slave. "Fear of Christ" is common synonym in Old Testament for faith (Pro 1:7, Pro 1:29, Pro 9:10, 1Co 1:30). Fear involves love and respect "as to the Lord" (Eph 5:22-23). The head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man (Eph 5:24, 1Co 11:1-3). Christ is the head of the church and Saviour. The husband is the head of the wife and physical savior and deliverer. Man's submission to the wife is love as Christ loved the Church (Eph 5:25) and as he loves his own body (Eph 5:28). How do you deliver her? feed her (spiritual leadership), wash her (Eph 5:26-27), clothe her, protect her, and rest/refresh. Mystery of spiritual union (Eph 5:30-32). Living faith should be visible in husband/wife union (Eph 5:33).
