WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT HOLY SPIRIT

One of the most misunderstood topics in the Bible is the role and ministry of Holy Spirit. Lots of people have questions and misconceptions about the third person of the Trinity.

In this class, Pastor Steve walks through what the Bible says about Holy Spirit in a simple and understandable way. God desires that every believer tap into the power available through Holy Spirit to live fully alive and use the Spiritual Gifts He gives us through Holy Spirit. The class meets for two Saturdays from 9am - 1pm.

 

RESPONSIBLE VIRGINIA CITIZENSHIP • Sept. 28, 9-noon

God gave us His garden to care for. One of those areas is the care of our country. The Responsible Virginia Citizenship class helps you discover who your national, state and local candidates are, so that you can make informed, Biblical choices. Younger “not yet old enough to vote” citizens are welcome too!

 

FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY

People are often surprised to learn the Bible talks about money - a lot! God understands our finances are one of the places we must develop an attitude and approach that honors Him above all others. The truth is, culture and marketing can easily sway us “off course” from reaching financial goals that please God and allow us to live like no one else! In Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University, you will untangle yourself from cultural and marketing deceptions about your money, and learn how to handle your finances God’s way!
