“Spirit of Truth or Confusion?”  

God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit…..Three persons in the Godhead. And of the three, our understanding of the Holy Spirit is the most confused of all. Some of us shy away from talking about him, while some seek him above all things. Some expect his presence to be marked by dramatic phenomena, while some insist he is with us all the time. And when it comes to the gifts the Holy Spirit bestows on us, opinions vary as wide as the sea.

So who really is the Holy Spirit? What is his role and what does he do? And when is he with us…does he come and go as he pleases or does he make his permanent lodging with us? And how should we view the gifts that the Bible says he gives us?

Speakers:
David Jackman, Director of The Cornhill Training Course & Proclamation Trust (UK)
Tony Payne, Senior Editor of Matthias Media

Highlights of the weekend:

  • 4 Bible expositions from 1 Corinthians 12 to 14, a key passage on the gifts of the Holy Spirit
  • 3 talks on what the whole Bible teaches about the person and work of the Holy Spirit from Genesis to Revelation
  • 2 workshops on “Hearing the Voice of God Today” to show how God guides
  • 2 workshops on “Principles of Interpretation” to help us learn how to read the Bible better
