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 6 - A Cry For Mercy

Psalm 6 - A Cry For Mercy

Waiting for the Messiah is a time of suffering. David expresses repentance in Psalm 6, 32 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143. Outline: (1) Cry for mercy (Psa 6:1-3, Heb 10:10); (2) Abandonment (Psa 6:4-6); (3) Assurance of prayer effectiveness (Psa 6:7-10). David pleads with God that He not chasten him in anger. We may feel this way, but God only disciplines in love (Heb 12:5-6, Job 3:13-19). Fear has an effect on the body (Psa 6:2-3). In Psa 6:4 David asks to be delivered based on His promises (Exo 34:7-8, Heb 13:5-6). In Psa 6:5 David calls on God with rationale that death would diminish God's glory. David expresses tremendous grief (Psa 6:6-7). The Holy Spirit comforts us and we have peace if we trust His promises (Psa 6:8-9, 1Jo 5:14-15, Psa 50:15, Rom 10:13). David asks that enemies be put to shame, that they be defeated (2Th 1:6-8). Deliverance of the believer is the destruction of the unbeliever (Psa 6:10). God's disciple is (a) motivated by love, (b) is only for His children, (c) will increase if it's despised or taken lightly, (d) is to be submitted to with hope, and (e) will result in purification (Heb 12:5-11).
