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.

Power of Praise #3

Every message should moves us in a direction (Ecc 12:11); the Word of God "goads" us (2Co 13:1).  Exodus generation began with praise then complained (Exo 16:2, Exo 16:6, Exo 16:8, Exo 16:12, Exo 16:24). Thy missed the rewards. What made Moses different than the Exodus generation (Psa 103:1-22)?  Moses understood the ways of God while Israel only understood His acts (Psa 103:7). God rewards faithfulnes (1Sa 2:30). Paul arrested in Phillipi (Act 16:22-25) began to pray and praise God affecting many. We reap the reward of our praises if we do it in the beginning of the trial. After God delivers us we should praise Him, but the real reward comes from praise in the midst of it (Psa 42:1-11). Faith trusts in the dark. Faith is the evidence of things not seen.
