The Doctrine of the Holy Spirit
(Summer 2025 - Spring 2026)
This new series focuses on the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. The third person of Trinity is often misunderstood, and some of us, trying to avoid excesses, tend to downplay His role in the world and in the life of the believer. In our study, we will answer questions as, what is the Holy Spirit doing in the world today? What is the baptism and the gifts of the Holy Spirit? What does it mean to “be filled” with the Spirit? How does He work to mature the believer? How can we identify our spiritual gifts? What happened to the gift of tongues, prophecy and healing? We encourage all to join this exciting study next week at 9 am!
