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 Amazing Race 2
The race is won based on our relationship with God by faith (Heb 12:1-3, Jam 1:2). Faith works in us (1Th 2:13). Endurance is paramount in Christian life (Jam 5:7-11, Act 14:22). James directs our attention to Job's endurance. Outline of James can be found in Jam 1:19. Believers admonitions similar to Heb 1(Jam 1:21-22).
Scripture References: Hebrews 12:1-3, James 1:21-22, James 1:19, Acts 14:22, James 5:7-11, James 1:2
From Series: "The Amazing Race"
Heb 12:1-3 says we're in the arena God has predetermined for us. We have our own personal race. We start the race when we become Christians. The race will be finished. We race against ourselves (Spirit vs flesh). The end is evaluated by Jesus Christ.
