2015 Bible Training - Brisbane

The Story behind how the training program was organised and the stories of how the Lord enabled many to come to the training series.

Examines 5 key doctrinal lies that prevent people from believing that we are accepted in the Beloved and now have all spiritual blessings in Christ.

The central theme of the 1893 series of sermons is that we are accepted in the Beloved. Ellen White expressed a deep reality to this truth when she stated

And the word that was spoken to Jesus at the Jordan, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased," embraces humanity. God spoke to Jesus as our representative. With all our sins and weaknesses, we are not cast aside as worthless. "He hath made us accepted in the Beloved." Ephesians 1:6. DA 113.

The thought that God spoke to us through Christ to tell us that we are His Sons and Daughters forms the central theme of the Identity Wars message.

The first Identity Wars message was presented Sept 29, 2001 which was a seventh-day Sabbath on Yom Kippur during a Shemitah (Seventh Sabbath year).

Presentation Notes
 

Craig shares how the principles in Identity Wars deepened his understanding of the gospel and exposed many of Satan's lies.

Maranatha Media Training program. Aug 3, 2015

Session 1 on the subject of the Character of God as Agape as opposed to Eros

Maranatha Media Bible Training Program - Aug 3, 2015

How can we know for sure that God is Agape - Complete benevolent love? The Son of God has received all He has from His Father making Him the expression of complete benevolent love. Therefore the inheritance of the Son proves the Agape of the Father. God is Agape and in Him is no Eros at all.

Maranatha Media Bible Training Program - Aug 3, 2015

Explores how our understanding of where life comes from affects our relationships and especially family relationships.

Reveals how the family structure of Abraham was the key to providing and preserving the Blessing. The ability to preserve the blessing when Christ came was connected to the blessing structure in the home of Abraham where he commanded His family and household after him. Sarah respect and honour of her husband as evidenced by calling him a title of respect and Abraham's care and provision for his family reflect this blessing structure. The blessing of Abraham is connected to correct family structure.

An introductory Bible study on the gospel, the good news concerning Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the revelation of the Father.

The fountain of joy flowing forth from the Father's heart at the birth of His Son is the foundation of our inheritance in Christ. The Words which God spoke to His Son - you are my Son this day I have begotten you is spoken to each of us in Christ. The resulting joy in the heart of Christ to know His Sonship to the Father is secure and unshakable and that He has been given all things returns a tide of gratitude and love in return to the great source of all. This is the agape motor of love and truly our fellowship is with the Father and the Son!

A relational approach to presenting Daniel 2

Those who follow Christ will take up their cross deny themselves and follow Him. The cross is about self denial. It is the continual denial of the flesh for Christ condemned sin in the flesh. His death on the cross was the supreme manifestation of self denial and love for the world.

The Gospel process is expressed in John 16:8. A Conviction of Sin, righteousness and Judgement. These three steps are expanded in Matt 5:1-11 and also in the three parts of the Sanctuary.

A brief study on the relationship of time and eternity as a Divine Pattern and how this informs the principles of prophecy. Time can only exist in the person of Christ. the ability to have probationary life in a realm of time can only exist because Christ was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

How would you diagram all of the key teachings of scripture in one diagram? What would it look like? If Christ is the truth then do we know how to connect all the teachings of the Bible directly to Him? Do we have those connections in our mind? 

This presentation explores seven aspects to Christ that allow us to connect all the key teachings of Scripture directly to Him

What are the charges at the heart of the Great Controversy?

Satan charges that
1. Christ should not have the supremacy. He denies the Agape of the Father in giving all things to His Son.
2. God's Law is not necessary to govern us
3. God can't be just and merciful. The law requires the death of the violator. Mercy in this context is no longer just. Satan places mercy and justice in opposition to each other.

Paul tells us that if we receive any other gospel than what he and the apostles preached let them be accursed. There is great confusion concerning the gospel as there has always been. The gulf between wallowing in the depression of our sinfulness and the simply choosing to ignore our sinful condition through the power of positive thinking is always lurking. This presentation building on the previous #GOS02 pinpoints the critical process of conviction of sin and righteousness. While knowing we are completely unworthy we claim the righteousness of Christ. In the full acceptance of our sinful condition we take the hand of Christ and accept His precious gift of righteousness. Such a simple process yet so completely misunderstand by the majority. This process is clearly outlined in Sermon 14 1893 by A.T Jones. It needs careful study and application. Presented Aug 18, 2015

A correct understanding of the covenants is foundational to understanding the gospel process. Understanding the relationship between the Old and New Covenant is critical to understanding the covenant question and the law in Galatians.
