The 2012 Northern Virginia Conference was on The Mountaintops of Scripture, giving a dispensational overview of the Bible.
The goals of this study are three-fold: first, to help the Bible student “think through” the Bible story along the lines of God’s promises and their fulfillment in the Person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. The second objective is for us to gain a sense of how to “rightly divide” the Word of God, according to its own inherent pattern. In so doing, we are able to see its unity and minimize supposed contradictions. Finally, this overall grasp of Scripture will enable us to “tell the story” to others, keeping the focus where it belongs—on Jesus Christ the Savior.

Psalm 1 Introduction (Part 1)

Psalm 1 Introduction (Part 1)

The Psalms prophesied the spiritual man verses the natural man (Psa 1:1). David is the dominant author and represent prayers (Psa 72:20). Psalms are in the five "wisdom books" -- teaching how to live God's way. Job teaches how to suffer in faith (Job 13:15). Psalms present how to pray and worship God (Psa 55:16-17). Proverbs teaches how to learn(Pro 9:10). Ecclesiastes teaches how to live with discernment (Ecc 10:10). Life is easier living it God's way. Song of Solomon teaches us how to love (Son 6:3). Psalms are broken into five books: (1) 1-41, (2) 42-72, (3) 73-89, (4) 90-106, (5) 107-150. Psalms five books map to the themes of Moses' Pentateuch: (1) Genesis: creation and election; (2) Exodus: redemption and deliverance; requirements of God; (3) Leviticus: sanctification and communion; (4) Numbers trial and failure. (5) Deuteronomy: divine government and victory. Some things in the Psalms don't apply to believers today because the Spirit indwells us permanently (Joh 14;16, Eph 4:30). Psalms cover 1500 BC to 400 BC with several writers. There's a prophetic thread starts in Psa 1:1 points to the messiah, the Godly man of heaven as opposed to earth. "Blessed in the man who has never walked in the counsel of the ungodly" This can only be Jesus Christ.
