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.

The Word Working In You #5

1st Thessalonians - The Word Working in You - Uniontown PA 2007

Deliverance is an ongoing work. Rut 4:8-17 out of sorrow and suffering is blessing. The Thessalonians are ascribed the strongest Hebrew word for faith "Qawah" (1Th 1:9). (). The tribulation is referred to as "wrath to come" -- wrath of man Satan, and God. 2 days to be distinguished: (1) "Day of Christ" for believers (1Th 2:19-20, 1Th 3:13 - deliverance, rejoicing, resurrection, joyous) - the rapture; The dead in Christ rise first (1Th 4:13-18; 2Co 5:8). We meet them in the air; (2) The "Day of the Lord" for unbelievers (1Th 5:1-3 gloom, fear, judgment); "comes as a thief in the night" (1Th 5:2-4). "Whether we wake or sleep" - faithful and carnal believers live forever with Him (1Th 5:10).

From Series: "1st Thessalonians - The Word Working in You - Uniontown PA 2007"

The Word Working in You' is a study in 1st Thessalonians recorded at Uniontown PA on 19-20 October 2007. The primary focus of the Paul's epistles to the Thessalonians written A.D. 50-51 is Christian living in light of eternity which results in balance. The 'bookends' of 1Th 1:3 and 1Th 5:8 reveal the book's theme: the well-balanced Christian life. The book also teaches that God's Word works through faith. Interestingly this epistle is closely related in content to the Old Testament book of Ruth which provides a perfect biblical illustration of the practical truths of this book.
