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.

Christ Baptizing with the Holy Spirit - Part 1
While John the Baptist baptized with water, he announced that the One coming after him would baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. This morning, we begin looking at Christ baptizing with the Holy Spirit, which was initiated on the day of Pentecost as seen in Acts 2. This event was foretold not only by John, but by Jesus Himself, primarily to His apostles the night before He was crucified (John 14-16). Jesus referred to the coming of the Holy Spirit as "the Promise of the Father." The Holy Spirit would be sent from the Father, but it was actually the Lord Jesus who would pour out the Spirit on that day after He was exalted.
