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.

Living Sacrifice 20

Rom 12:1-2 contains 12 subjects: (1) Time is short (2) appreciation for the brethren, (3) exploit God's provisions, mercies of God, (4) pick up your cross, (5)divine approval, (6) fruitful Christian service, (7) separate and sanctified (8) spiritual warfare (9) progressively conform to the image of Christ (10) diligence being a student of the Word of God (11) will of God for us must be demonstrated (12) the abundant life. "Present youselves a living sacrifice" means avail yourself to service. The word "present yourselves" to means the body being prepared for "service" (Mat 26:53, Rom 6:12-19). Death reigns through sin, but the abundance of Grace provisions make us the master in our own life (Rom 5:12-17). Grace sets us free from slavery to demonstrate the Kingdom of God to men (Rom 6:14). Paul shows the concept of our body as a spiritual base of operations (2Co 6:6-7). Believer is a temple of the Holy Spirit; the weapon is our spiritual gift.

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.
