The Mountaintops of Scripture – 2012 – Northern VA

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.

Providence of God - the watchful eye of God looking for opportunity, Mercy and Grace. Acts 16:1-40 illustrates the character of the Philippian believers in relationships. Paul prays that their love of Christ may abound even more (Phi 1:9). It's a gift to receive suffering from God (Phi 1:29). Paul had restrictions, barriers, and hinderances, yet he rejoiced; now the Philippians did too (Phi 1:30) "Let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ" (Phi 1:27, 1Pe 1:6-7). Enemies of the gospel is proof of thier judgement (Phi 1:28), but proof also of our deliverance. Paul requests that the Philippians "fulfill my joy ... being of the same mind,... love and of one accord. " (Phi 2:1-2).

Philippians 1:12 starts out "Now I want you to know brethren that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the Gospel". It's a key verse in the letter Paul wrote to those faithful believers while he was in chains.
