In his farewell address to his apostles, Jesus said:
I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I don’t go away, the Counselor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you (John 16:7).
That Counselor, or Advocate, is the Holy Spirit, who was sent by Jesus into this world at Pentecost in a new way to usher in a new age of spiritual transformation and service. Unfortunately, many people are relatively unfamiliar with the Person and ministry of the Holy Spirit. This course can help to provide a new and deeper appreciation for and openness to the Holy Spirit.
A few of the topics we will cover include:
What do we mean by “Spirit”?
The Holy Spirit and Original Blessing
Wounded Human Nature
The Holy Spirit and Conscience
Prophets and Promises
Jesus’ Teachings on the Holy Spirit
The Outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost
The Transformative Gifts of the Spirit
Charismatic Gifts
Opening to the Holy Spirit

And much more
Our learning process includes 15 videos (5 - 12 min.) with supplemental resources for each, including a PDF copy of Dr. St. Romain’s book, Jesus Alive in Our Lives. Reflection and discussion questions will be provided for individual and group use. Online questions and comments are also welcomed.
