Knowing God—A Study in 2nd Corinthians

Moving Beyond Knowledge into Experience—

Igniting the Tinder of Truth by the Fire of the Spirit

This conference was presented in Northern Virginia February 28–March 2, 2014.

 

“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,
who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2Co 4:6

 

Second Corinthians is much more than just a defense and vindication of Paul’s ministry. It expounds the foundation of his life and service in the experiential knowledge of God in all His varied manifestations to Paul. In other words, Paul was who he was, and did what he did, because he continued to grow in his knowledge of God. This knowledge was not merely intellectual or academic. Rather it was essentially experiential, as Paul came to know the living Christ in his daily life.

Psalm 1 Introduction (Part 1)

Psalm 1 Introduction (Part 1)

The Psalms prophesied the spiritual man verses the natural man (Psa 1:1). David is the dominant author and represent prayers (Psa 72:20). Psalms are in the five "wisdom books" -- teaching how to live God's way. Job teaches how to suffer in faith (Job 13:15). Psalms present how to pray and worship God (Psa 55:16-17). Proverbs teaches how to learn(Pro 9:10). Ecclesiastes teaches how to live with discernment (Ecc 10:10). Life is easier living it God's way. Song of Solomon teaches us how to love (Son 6:3). Psalms are broken into five books: (1) 1-41, (2) 42-72, (3) 73-89, (4) 90-106, (5) 107-150. Psalms five books map to the themes of Moses' Pentateuch: (1) Genesis: creation and election; (2) Exodus: redemption and deliverance; requirements of God; (3) Leviticus: sanctification and communion; (4) Numbers trial and failure. (5) Deuteronomy: divine government and victory. Some things in the Psalms don't apply to believers today because the Spirit indwells us permanently (Joh 14;16, Eph 4:30). Psalms cover 1500 BC to 400 BC with several writers. There's a prophetic thread starts in Psa 1:1 points to the messiah, the Godly man of heaven as opposed to earth. "Blessed in the man who has never walked in the counsel of the ungodly" This can only be Jesus Christ.
