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 23

Paul, a Jew writing to Gentiles, says that we are all from the same "fathers", referring to common regeneration (1Co 10:1-4), 1Co 10:11). Jews were called to be the lineage of Christ. Israel turned their back; God was not pleased. With whom is He pleased? "acceptable" and "approved" means we've measured up to a standard (Rom 12:1-2, 2Ti 2:15). There are both general criteria, and specific for an individual (Mat 25:15, Mar 13:34, Rom 12:3, Heb 11:6, 1Jn 2:28). Every believer has to identify what is the work God has for them (2Ti 2:15). You have to have the desire: "I want to gain God's approval". With that goal, there's no room for persistent failure (1Co 9:1-29). This takes courage (Col 1:24, Rom 5:3, Joh 16:33). There's no option for quiting (2Co 4:1, Rom 8:37-39). The power behind the commitment is love. Reverence to God evidenced by humility; show to man a Christlike service.

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.
