Several people have asked me about the upcoming class Building 412: Transformed Power.  Let me try to give you a brief overview of what we’ll be learning.

First of all, Building 412 is the name of our discipleship ministry at the Vineyard (you didn’t know it had a name, did you).  Technically, any of the classes we did this summer could have had the Building 412 on the front of them.  The name comes from Ephesians 4:12 where Paul talks about the church being equipped for works of service and ministry.

In Transformed Power we will specifically look at the most mysterious person of the Trinity – God the Holy Spirit.  He is mentioned in the very first chapter of the Bible (Gen 1:2) and in the very last chapter of the Bible (Revelation 22:17), and He fills most of the chapters in between either directly or indirectly.  His coming was promised in the Old Testament and was fulfilled in the New Testament.  He is prominent throughout Scripture and yet still very misunderstood.

In this class we will discover who He is – an eternally existent person who can be known, who loves, and who can be grieved.  We’ll learn what He does today – that He is still active in His church and that He is primarily involved in making us into the image of Jesus.  And we’ll see how we can be fully empowered to live a transformed life AND advance God’s Kingdom on earth as we yield to Him (being Spirit-filled).

We are going to do it all: learn, discuss, receive, and practice!  Please sign up at the back of the auditorium (so we can be sure to have enough resources).  Bring your Bible, something to takes notes with, and your curiosity.  Come prepared to be touched!
