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.

Water Baptism During Jesus' Ministry

The Baptisms of Scripture

When Jesus began His public ministry, the message He proclaimed was the same as John the Baptist: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!" Therefore, it's not surprising that water baptism was a part of His ministry as well, though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but left that work to His disciples. We consider a possible reason why Jesus Himself did not baptize new disciples in water.

From Series: "The Baptisms of Scripture"

This series of Bible studies examines the many different baptisms found in the Scriptures, looking at the practice and meaning of each. Much focus will be placed on the one baptism that is still in operation today in this present dispensation of God's grace: the baptism by the Holy Spirit that places believers into Christ. These lessons were given during the adult Sunday school class at Grace Bible Church in 2021.
