ABOUT SATURDAY SEMINARS

A couple years ago, the Pastoral staff and Elders at Crestwicke began plans to move toward a new format for our adult Sunday School teaching. Saturday Seminars was the result of these discussions: longer sessions, over a month of Saturday mornings, with time to really dig into a topic more deeply than our shorter format Sunday School sessions allowed.

After a successful series launch back in the spring, Understanding Jesus with Steve West, we’re back for round two this fall with Michael Haykin for Understanding the Holy Spirit. We’re excited to continue in this time of learning and growing more deeply in our faith, together as a church family! Anyone is welcome to join, just make sure to sign-up below once registration opens, so we can send you the Zoom link along with further details.

UNDERSTANDING THE HOLY SPIRIT

Live on Zoom over four Saturdays in fall 2021
Oct 30, Nov 13, 20 & 27 | 9:30 TO 11 AM

Please note that there is no in-person option for these seminars—all four seminars will be on Zoom.

COURSE OVERVIEW

Of the persons of the Godhead, the Holy Spirit is probably the most mysterious to many Christians. What is his relationship to God the Father and the Lord Jesus? Was he active in the period covered by the Old Testament? Why was his work vital for the Church in the period of the New Testament? Why is his work vital for us today as individual Christians and as a local church? And what about the gifts of the Spirit, over which there has been no little controversy—is the Spirit still giving his gifts?

This fall, those who are interested can spend four Saturday mornings learning more about the Holy Spirit together.

OUTLINE:

  • Session 1 (October 30) - Knowing the Holy Spirit: His Person

  • Session 2 (November 13) - Knowing the Holy Spirit: His Work

  • Session 3 (November 20) - A Christ-Centered Spirit

  • Session 4 (November 27) - The Holy Spirit and His Gifts

Please note we are skipping a week between Sessions 1 & 2.
