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 Addresses the Jews in Jerusalem
When Paul enters the temple in Jerusalem, the Jews were stirred up by false accusations brought against Paul. They seized him, dragged him out of the temple, and began to beat him. The Romans interceded and took Paul into custody to protect him. Paul asked for an opportunity to speak to the people, and then gave his testimony to them. They were willing to listen until Paul mentioned his ministry to the Gentiles, which enraged them again.
Scripture References: Acts 22:1-30, Acts 21:27-40

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.
