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.

The Mountaintops of Scripture – Northern VA 2012

Living Sacrifice 27

Works of the Spirit: revelation, inspiration (2Co 3:16), preservation, illumination, application (2Ti 2:15). Taking up the cross is positive (Heb 12:2). Abraham was eager (Gen 22:3); he had a sense of brotherhood (Gen 22:5); orientation to what is acceptable to God (Gen 22:7); offering of oneself (Gen 22:11); divine approval (Gen 22:12); service - worship (Gen 22:5). "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed" (Rom 12:2). Abundant life: "prove what is good... and the perfect will of God" (Joh 10:10). Abraham illustrates this. Spiritual non-conformity to the world (Joh 18:36, Phi 3:20, 1Jn 2:15, Joh 15:18, Joh 3:8)

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.
