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.

Living Sacrifice 10

Heb 2:11 -- "He is unashamed to call us brethren". Christ had to become a brother first (Phi 2:5-11) the Seven aspects of a perfect attitude: (1) condescension (2) kenosis - He emptied Himself and limited His divine nature with regard to Himself; spiritual gifts are for the benefit of others; (3) volunteered - "took the form of a bond servant"; (4) incarnation; (5) humbled himself; (6) obedience to the plan of God - "to the point of death"; (7) crucifixion - "even the death on the cross". Unlimited atonement "that He might taste death for everyone". Heb 2:10 "to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings; "Captain" - founder, source, and author of our salvation (1Th 5:23-24, Act 17:26). He took on our nature so that in salvation we take on divine nature (2Pe 1:4). Four things regarding brethren in Heb 2:12-13: (1) Proclamation "thy name to my brethren"; (2) Brethren are identified by those who respond Mat 12:47-50); (3) in heaven there will be a song of praise -- the theme is the greatness of faith -- "I will put my trust in Him"; (4) the unity of the royal family of God -- "I and the children You have given Me". In incarnation, Jesus Christ shared in flesh and blood, but uniquely without a sin nature (Heb 2:14). Deliverance -- to release someone from a bond in the fear of death (Heb 2:15). Jesus Christ had to become a man (Heb 2:16-17). Jesus Christ was tempted and never fell; He understands temptation (Heb 12:18). When He stops having compassion and forgiveness for us, we can stop having it for others.

From Series: "Living Sacrifice (1995)"

Romans 12 and specifically Rom 12:1-2 is a pivot point between the doctrinal section and application of the book. This series methodically uses this passage to outline aspects or doctrines of the christian life -- God's provision and our prospect. Our lives can be acceptable to God if we progress on the path He intends. Living Sacrifice presents 12 doctrines: (1) redeeming time; (2) standing (positional truth); (3) self-presentation - availability; (4) approval; (5) service; (6) provision; (7) spiritual warfare; (8) conformity; (9) spiritual advance; (10) renewal; (11) divine guidance; (12) abundant life.
