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 18 - The Demand for a Deliverer

Psalm 18 - The Demand for a Deliverer

We have positional holiness. David uses "righteousness" (Psa 18:24) as a picture of fellowship (Psa 86:2). David's righteousness has 3 witnesses (1Sa 26:23, 1Ki 14:8, 1Ki 11:4). God looks at our lives and desire of the heart - regardless of failure. We all fail but how we recover is paramount (Ecc 7:20, Psa 32:6). God gives strength for the way He wants us to go -- obedience (Psa 18:31-32). God gives stability (Psa 18:33-34) and increased impact (Psa 18:35-36). Only the eye of faith can see these things. David prays for victory (Psa 18:37-42). God takes the smallest instrument in nearest work in simplest way for the greatest victory (1Sa 17:47). God uses the weak and despised for His glory (Psa 18:43-45, Psa 113:7, Luk 1:53, Luk 3:5, 1Pe 5:5). David prays to his Deliverer (Psa 18:46-50). The Lord always is there to deliver (Heb 7:25). "Jesus" in New Testament is the name for "Deliverance" in the "Old Testament".
