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.

Paul's Unique Acts Period Ministry
The book of Acts is a transitional book, changing from God's dealing with the nation of Israel and the prospect of a restored kingdom to God's dealings with the Church, the Body of Christ and their prospect of a heavenly hope in Christ. Paul's ministry during this period was unique, including a ministry to the Jew first, but upon their rejection, a ministry to the Gentiles as well (1 Corinthians 9:19-23). It is necessary to rightly divide Paul's epistles as well, especially those letters written during the Acts period.
Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
