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.

Jesus' Relationship with Friends - Part 1

Knowing Christ

Jesus had many disciples who followed and learned from Him; some were not true believers and were eventually offended and left Him; some were true believers who remained faithful to Him. From among His disciples, Jesus chose 12 apostles to be with Him in a closer relationship; these He would send out to minister in His behalf. All true believers were His friends, but the Twelve were close to Him in a special way. This morning, we begin looking at Jesus' relationship with His friends, particularly the Twelve, focusing on how Jesus handled situations where their faith faltered or they failed Him in some way.
