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.

Paul Arrives in Jerusalem
Paul arrives in Jerusalem and meets with James and the other leaders of the Jerusalem church. At James's request, Paul is purified with four Jewish men who have taken a vow, all to show that Paul himself supported these Jews who still kept the law. While some question whether Paul was in the will of God in doing this, but they don't understand the nature of Paul's Acts period ministry was to the Jew first, then the Gentile.
Scripture References: Acts 21:27-40
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.
