Online Bible Study 6: Work of the Holy Spirit in Our Lives
Have you ever looked in the mirror and saw a temple of the Most High God? Every Christian is a temple for God's Holy Spirit and we have evidence of that in-dwelling by the fruit of the spirit. Jesus came and breathed His Spirit upon the disciples after His death and resurrection.
The day of Pentecost brought with it power for the mighty works Jesus called us to through His act of love on the Cross. Our prayer for each of you this week, is for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit to your lives; we pray for a fresh breath from our wonderful Lord and a fresh mantle upon you Hallelujah!

Online Bible Study 5: Nature of God: Classical vs Open Theism
The first few weeks of this study, Harold expounded on the history of the Church and then spent a few weeks looking at humanity. This week's study is perhaps one of the most important and critical issues for Christians to explore. Just who is this God we worship, adore and serve? Who is this gracious Father who loved us so much, He sent His only Son to die on a cross?
It may be helpful to review Week 2 of this study to refresh the church history which is critical to understanding the Classical View of God. Harold explores God's role in our daily lives, His role in disasters, wars, and even of children dying.
If this week did not challenge you in some powerful way, we invite you to watch it again until it does. By the end of this week, you should be prepared to arrive at an answer to this question: "Do I really believe in the God of the Bible; just the way God chose to reveal Himself to us?"
Online Bible Study 4: Body, Soul, Spirit
What exactly is a human being? Study biology for even a few quarters and you will uncover a vast network of machine like parts and systems which make up the physical human. We have brains, thoughts, feelings, desires; where do they come from and how is all of this connected? Harold gives an insightful talk on the nature of humans, spiritual substance, and impartation of spiritual energy impacting those around us. Be blessed!
Online Bible Study 3: Salvation and Atonement
After Harold gave us a lesson in Church History and some of the influential players in our Western conception of Christianity, he talked this week of what true salvation and atonement look like through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Listen as Harold discusses about the Hebraic view that the heart is the core of a person and not the mind. Think about your own worldview and how biases may be impacting your understanding of the resurrection power of Jesus.
Harold covered in depth what salvation is for Christians and walked us through Paul's understanding in the book of Romans. Jesus died but more importantly, He ROSE again; Hallelujah! We hope this teaching will help you access that same resurrection power and live a more victorious life. bless you!

Online Bible Study 2: Overview of Church History
This week was a fly-by in church history where Harold lays the foundation for all Christians to see our past and how we came about from Jewish roots to the formation of our major denominations. Martin Luther in 1517, began what we now all the Protestant Reformation and subsequently a president for new denominations to split and form out of protest for the current establishment.
This history is important to learn from as we continue on to truly rise up as one body with many parts and establish the Church all over the world and bring the Kingdom of God to all the nations.
Bless you all, we love you!
Online Bible Study 1: Nature of Humanity
Hi Folks,
Finally got the threads going for the online feeds. Week one in Harold's study focused on the question of whether humanity is inherently good or bad. A great lesson in history including the impact of Aristotle, Augustine and other church fathers clearly shows modern Christians how we have arrived at our present day understandings of how we are made.
Harold covers this topic in detail in his books Precious in His Sight and also in Who Is God. The conclusion... we are created in God's very image; since we live in a fallen world, there is a little bit of good in the worst of us, and a little bit of bad in the best of us.
We love you!
