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.

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!
