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.

Pattern for Paul's Ministry
While the Twelve preached to the Jews of the homeland, Paul was sent by God to the Jews of the dispersion. As Paul began his public ministry, he performed a miracle that serves as a pattern for his Acts period ministry. He pronounced blindness upon a Jew who rejected the Word of God for himself, and sought to hinder the ministry of God's Word to a Gentile. Upon hearing the Word, the Gentile believed and was saved (Acts 13:1-12).

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.
