Seminar Description:
Spiritual and ethical formation is a topic of discussion in many circles. We all long for intimacy with God, but how is spiritual growth and maturity developed? What are the dynamics in which God most often works in the heart of believers to make them like his Son, Jesus Christ? In this seminar, Richard Averbeck and James Grier address these and other questions in order to lay a biblical, theological foundation for proper Christian thought. In addition, they identify and describe specific practices that the listener can apply immediately to his/her life of faith.
Upon completion of this seminar, the learners should be able to:
- Understand the biblical foundations for spiritual and ethical formation and the relationship between them.
- Evaluate life for areas where people can become more intentional and open to the work of the Spirit.
- Analyze the ways individuals make decisions in order to identify habits and values that are contrary to the moral will of God.
- Think critically about one's approach to life in light of the biblical foundations for spiritual and ethical formation.
- Apply the three dimensions of Christian spiritual formation to daily life of faith.
- Apply a biblical model for decision-making that will enhance one's moral and spiritual formation.
- Value both spiritual and ethical formation as important aspects of the Christian life (both individual and corporate).
