Holy Week Conference

Date: April 11-12, 2009
Venue: Church in QC Meeting Hall
Speaker: Bro Jim and Bro Willie

Message One: The Fall of Man into the World

Scripture Reading: Gen. 4:1-10, 16; Jude 11; Phil 3:9; Rom. 10:3; Matt. 23:35; Phil. 3:9; Eccl. 1:2; Heb. 11:4; John 8:44; 1 John 3:12; John 16:2

Point I Enjoyed: We should serve God with the view of His eternal economy. We should not be like Cain (or most people in the world) who serves God in his own way and eventually going out from the presence of Jehovah.


Message Two: A Portrait of Life in the World Under Satan's Usurpation

Scripture Reading: Gen. 50:26; Eph. 2:1-3, 12; Gal. 1:4; Mark 9:7-8; Psa. 90:1; Exo. 5:1; 40:34; Rom. 12:1-2; Eph. 2:2; 1 Cor. 15:33; 7:14; 1 John 2:15-17; James 4:4

I. The book of Exodus reveals that God desires to rescue His chosen people from every form of usurpation and preoccupation so that they may have nothing besides God Himself - Eph. 2:1-3, 12; Gal. 1:4

II. God's intention in giving His chosen people a revelation of the true nature, meaning, and issue of life in Egypt (the world) is to cause His people to hate and become disgusted with Egypt, to leave Egypt behind, and to be separated to God for His dwelling place - Exo. 5:1; 40:34; Rom.12:1-2

III. It is only by receiving a revelation of the nature, significance, and result of life in the world and of God's attitude toward such a life that we can truly become detached from the world and hate the worldly life - 1 John 2:15-17; James 4:4

My thought: The world today is truly from death to death...


Message Three: The Way to Escape the Second Fall of Man

Scripture Reading: Gen. 4:2-4, 26; Eccl. 1:2-3; 2:14, 17; Exo. 3:13-14; Gal. 2:20; Rom. 5:12; 1 Cor. 15:26; Gen. 5:22-24; Heb. 11:5-6; Psa. 19:12-13; Josh. 9:14b; Luke 24:15; Rom. 8:14, 13-14; Gal. 2:2a; 2 Cor. 5:14-15; 5-7; John 5:58; Phil. 3:8, 14.

!. Not presumptuous according to our own concept - 4:3

II. Living for God and worshipping Him according to His way. - 4:2,4

III. Realizing the vanity of human life -Abel- 4:2; Eccl. 1:2-3

IV. Enosh - a frail believer calling on the name of Jehovah - 4:26

V. Jehovah - the name of intimacy, the name for God coming into an intimate relationship with man - Gen. 4;26; Exo. 3:13-14.

VI. Enoch - the way to escape the ultimate issue of man's fall which is death - Gen. 5; Rom. 5:12; 1 Cor. 15:26
A. The way to escape death and obtain the testimony of being well-pleasing to God is to walk with God - Gen. 5:22-24; Heb. 11:5-6
B. To walk with God is to walk by faith - 2 Cor. 5;7; Heb. 11:5-6
C. The way to escape death and obtain the testimony of being well-pleasing to God is to spiritually beget and care for others - when Enoch became a father he began to walk with God until God took Him - Gen. 5:22-24.
