Syllabus
Session 1
Suggested Study Time: 2 hours
Material from pages 1-41 in Holy Spirit 101
About this Session
The most important aim of Session 1 is to remove doubts, fears, and worries about the charismatic material, connect with the students, and ultimately make them feel comfortable enough to approach a prayer team for the practicum after the lecture.
Prior to watching the first video, students should be familiar with pages 1-41 of the text, Holy Spirit 101.
STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After reading pages 1-41 of Holy Spirit 101 and watching the video, it is our hope that students will be able to:
- Give examples of the movements of the Holy Spirit from the beginning of the Church to present times
- Explain why it is important to today
- Give examples of evangelizing in cooperation with the Holy Spirit
- Distinguish between personal and charismatic charisms
- Name the defining elements of charisms
- Identify the nine Pauline charisms
- Identify the elements necessary for yielding to the Holy Spirit
- Define Outpouring of the Holy Spirit
- Recognize consolations associated with the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit
