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 29

Rom 12:1-2 is a summary of the book of Romans. Spiritual non-conformity "do not be conformed" This world demands conformity; but we can't (Phi 3:20, 1Jn 2:15). Sermon on the mount is to His disciples (Mat 5:1-48). The spiritual non-conformist is a disciple; he lives in a state of blessing. "blessed" means one who is in the environment of God. Much if Christianity today has lost it's focus on God(1Jn 2:28). Disciples are spiritually poor (Mat 5:3) -- destitute having total dependence on God. "mourn" is true repentance (Mat 5:4) -- part of your character (Jam 4:8-9). "Meek" = gentle (Mat 5:5). "hungers and thirst for Righteousness" (Mat 5:6) -- desperate for right relationship.

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.
