The Person of the Holy Spirit ($99.00):
Wednesday evenings @ 6:30 p.m. taught by Rick Mercado
Since Pentecost (Acts 2), the people of God are now in the Age of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said that He would not leave His followers as orphans. He has come to us again in the person of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is actually the very Spirit of Christ! “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (2Corinthians 3:17). Christ’s Spirit fills us with powerful energy, strong confidence, clear truth, and the very nature of God. This is an in-depth study of the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Special emphasis is given to both the fruit and gifts of the Holy Spirit. Application is made to the individual and to the corporate church.

Personal Bible Study & Prayer ($99.00):
Saturday mornings @ 9:00 a.m. taught by Julie Heber
Is there anything more creative than Spirit-energized prayer and proclamation? Yet, our prayer and proclamation must be sourced in effective, fruitful Bible study. This releases a flow between heaven and earth. Bible study and the prayer/proclamation that it births are key disciplines in the life of every believer. This course explores and develops these disciplines. You will study the basic tools and methods of Bible study and prayer. Emphasis will be given to the personal devotional life of the believer.
Required textbook for this class: The Spirit Helps Us Pray, a Biblical Theology of Prayer by Robert L.Brandt and Zenas J. Bicket
Victorious Christianity ($99.00):
Saturday mornings @ 9:00 a.m. taught by Edwin Marrero
God is a winner. An Old Testament name for God, El Gibbor, means God, the Champion. Because He’s a winner, His sons and daughters are winners. “Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place” (2Corinthians 2:14). Christ has attained the complete victory. We must now process Christ’s victory attained at the Cross, empty tomb, ascension, and enthronement at the right hand of the Father. Through discipline, we must appropriate the triumph of heaven on the earth, This course focuses on the spiritual foundation of the life of every believer: repentance, faith, water baptism, baptism of the Holy Spirit, local church commitment and the life of obedient servanthood.
Required textbook for this class: Spirit Formed by Jack Hayford
Walking in Present Truth ($99.00):
Wednesday evenings @ 6:30 p.m. taught by Brian Del Turco
We are certainly in times of restoration! In the midst of turmoil and fear throughout the nations, we know that our God is a restoring God. Jesus Christ is Lord of all and the eternal plan and purpose of heaven is unfolding in the nations of the earth. In this course we will see the restoring activity of God in church history from Pentecost (beginning in the late 1800′s and early 1900′s) to the present. He is restoring the church. And flowing from that, He is restoring the lives and personal worlds of believers. What is your sphere of influence? Together, we will explore “leading-edge” Kingdom truth of God active in our day.
Required textbook for this class: ‘Present Day Truths’ by Dick Iverson with Bill Scheidler
