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.

Colossians Lesson 21

Colossians Lesson 21

In Phi 3:14 'the upward call' means we need to live on a higher plane (Isa 55:8-9; Luk 21:28; 1Co 10:5). Col 3:5-17 positive and negative commands for practical living a spiritual life. We need to put on Christ (Rom 13:14) and put off defiled garments (Jud 1:23; Col 3:9-10) -- our 'old man' was nailed to the cross with Christ and is dead. The power of sin is broken. We are not 'sinners saved by Grace' but new creatures (2Co 5:17; Rom 12:2; 1Co 2:16; Rom 6:11). We need to reckon our members dead to sin (Col 1:5-8; Rom 6:13) ; e.g.; our hand alone has phenominal potential; for sin or good. Luk 11:24 a downward spiral that occurs when we don't replace an area of sin with the things of God: prayer; service; the word; etc (Col 3:11-17).

From Series: "Colossians - 2006"

Paul never met the Colossians but wrote to them from a Roman prison around 62 AD to counter misconceptions of his day. It magnifies the character of Jesus Christ more than any other book in the New Testament, and counters misconceptions of our day as well. The key verse may well be Col 1:18 "...that in all things, He might have preeminence."
