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.

Colossians Lesson 17

Colossians Lesson 17

Spritual integrity' is firmness of character -- integral with essential things; namely Christ (Col 2:3; Col 2:9; Col 2:10; Col 2:19); David exemplifies needed integrity (Psa 7:8-10; Psa 25:1-22; Psa 26:1-12; Psa 41:1-12 ). 5 things are demanded: Col 2:11we should live separate from the world (because of spiritual circumcision); Col 2:12 we should live in fellowship (because we're baptised into union with Him); Col 2:13 we should walk in newness of life (because we're raised with Him); Col 2:10 we should refuse to look elsewhere for fulfilment (because we're complete) ; Col 2:17 we should remain attached to the Head (because we are now in His Body).

From Series: "Colossians - 2006"

Paul never met the Colossians but wrote to them from a Roman prison around 62 AD to counter misconceptions of his day. It magnifies the character of Jesus Christ more than any other book in the New Testament, and counters misconceptions of our day as well. The key verse may well be Col 1:18 "...that in all things, He might have preeminence."
