Pneumatology

The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit

12 Weeks6 Credits4 Modules4 Assessments

Course Overview

From the opening verse of Genesis where the Spirit hovers over chaos, to the closing chapters of Revelation where the Spirit and the Bride cry "Come!" — the Holy Spirit is the active presence of God bringing order, life, and restoration. This course studies the Spirit's person (not an impersonal force but a divine Person), the Spirit's work in the Old and New Covenants, the gifts and fruit of the Spirit, and the practical reality of Spirit-empowered ministry. You will learn to distinguish between authentic spiritual experience and counterfeits, to operate in the gifts with wisdom and discernment, and to rely on the Spirit as the true Counsellor in every restoration session.

Course Description

The Holy Spirit is the active agent in every restoration session. A Soul Restorer who does not understand the Spirit is working in their own strength — and human strength cannot heal a broken soul. This course grounds you in the biblical theology of the Third Person of the Trinity.
