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.

Ephesians #26

Ephesians #26

We are united with Christ; we should seek the things above (Col 3:1-17). Col 3:8 put off sin; Col 3:10 put on the new man. The old man needs putting off; we need to be renewed (Eph 4:22-24). Illustrated in Zec 3:1-7 and Isa 55:6 human sin and human good are filthy garments as God sees them (like we've waded through sewage). We have been transferred out of darkness; we are a new creature (1Co 15:22; Col 1:13). If we are wearing the clothes from the grave, no one can tell the difference (Eph 4:22). Every day we need: (1) the cleansing of confession; (2) the renewal of the Word; (3) daily rest in the promises; (4) a dependence on the Spirit of God; and (5) a preoccupation with Christ.
