“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.
