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.

The Noble Bereans
When Paul and Silas preached in the synagogue in Berea, the unbelieving Jews were more noble or open-minded than those in Thessalonica. They readily received the preaching of the Word and then searched the Scriptures daily to see if what Paul and Silas taught was true. However, the unbelieving Jews from Thessalonica followed the apostles to Berea and incited a riot against them, forcing Paul to travel on to Athens.
Scripture References: Acts 17:10-15
From Series: "The Book of Acts"
These lessons provide a verse by verse study through one of the most challenging books of the Bible from a dispensational viewpoint, showing the transition from God's focus on Israel to the start of the Church, the Body of Christ.
