Today, as in biblical times, God holds the power to transform, heal, and deliver. This Bible study through Luke and Acts reminds us that God can turn messes into miracles through the supernatural activity of Holy Spirit. In The Promised Presence, Jenny Randle shares topical Bible teaching, her own faith journey, and practical application to help us:
 

• Understand the Spirit’s influence on the early church and in our lives today
• Discover biblical answers to common questions about Holy Spirit and His work
• Grow in our understanding of spiritual gifts
• Engage in reflective journal prompts for personal spiritual growth
• Learn how to operate in the power of the Spirit to advance God’s kingdom

 
The Promised Presence uses a four-week format (five lessons each week) with a bonus fifth week for those studying the book in a group, plus accompanying video teaching and thought-provoking questions. Ideal for individual or group use, become fired up to live for Christ, no matter what struggles come our way.
