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 Parable of Two Men Praying in Temple - 1
(Luke 18:9-14) Jesus told this parable to those who trusted in themselves that they were righteous. The parable centered on two men who went up to the temple to pray: one, a Pharisee, a religious ruler in Israel, and the other, a tax collector, a man hated by most in Israel. In this study, we look at the very different prayers these two men offered as well as Jesus' explanation of the results of their prayers.
Scripture References: Luke 18:9-14
From Series: "The Parables of Jesus"
