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.

Farewell to the Ephesian Elders - Part 1
While Paul was in Ephesus, he purposed in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem and after that to see Rome. As Paul began his journey, he had to bypass Ephesus, but when he arrived at Miletus, he called for the elders of the Ephesian church to meet him there so he could give them final instructions, warnings, and bid them farewell. In this message, we see Paul reminding them of his past ministry in their midst, focusing on both his manner of life and his message.

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.
