2nd Corinthians – Knowing God – 2014 – Northern Virginia

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.

Ephesians #46

Listen

When we align ourselves with Christ we will be engaged in combat (Eph 6:10-20, Rom 13:8-14). Our test is that we refuse to give up, grow weary or faint (Eph 6:13). There is a battle to be won; there is a master plan for the Church -- for blessings and glory -- all of us are in it (Eph 6:10). There is provision for power "be strong in the Lord". There is armor for the conflict -- one offensive and 6 defensive weapons (Eph 6:10-20). Prayer is the way to put it on. There is enablement for resistance. There is enlightenment about the foe (2Co 11:3-15).
