In Philippians 3:10, the Apostle Paul expresses his heartfelt desire, “that I may know Him (Christ).” Paul had known Christ for many years as his Savior and Lord, so what did he mean? Paul desired to know Jesus Christ more deeply through experiencing a close, personal relationship with Him on a daily basis. In this series of Bible messages, we explore how we, as believers in Christ, can experience this same thing in our own lives.
These Bible messages entitled “Knowing Christ” were preached by Pastor Gregg Bing in 2021 during the morning worship services at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

Philip's Ministry in Samaria
The stoning of Stephen sparked a great persecution against the kingdom church at Jerusalem. This was a significant turning point, indicating the rejection of the Holy Spirit by the Jews in their homeland. As a result, the ministry expanded from Jerusalem and Judea to a NEW AREA, Samaria, where a man named Philip would preach the gospel (Acts 8:1-25).
Scripture References: Acts 8:1-25
