“Introduction to Spiritual Formation”
Teacher: Michael Hall
What is spiritual formation? Spiritual formation is the work of
God’s Holy Spirit in the lives of His people growing them into the
image and character of the Lord Jesus. He does that by
transforming us completely: by renewing our minds, reordering
our loves, our instincts, our values, our habits – by reorganizing
and reordering our entire life. Growth into the image of Jesus
Christ is a process, and it is a gift from the Spirit of God at work
in us. Yet we are not passive in this process, we are to
cooperate with the Spirit. We have been given several means of
grace—things we can do that the Spirit frequently uses to help
us to mature and to deepen our faith and strengthen our walk
with Jesus. If you’ve ever struggled with what your role is and
what role God takes in your growth as a Christian this seminar
will comfort and challenge you to rest in the finished work of
Jesus and the ongoing work of Holy Spirit from day to day.
