Maelezo ya Kozi
This course explores the person and work of the Holy Spirit as presented in the writings of Luke (especially the book of Acts) and the Apostle Paul. From a Reformed theological perspective, it examines how the Spirit is central to the life, mission, sanctification, and empowerment of the Church.
While affirming the continuity of the Spirit's work throughout redemptive history, the course highlights the unique redemptive-historical significance of Pentecost and the outpouring of the Spirit on all flesh.
Issues such as spiritual gifts, tongues, prophecy, and charismatic practices will be addressed biblically and pastorally, with a clear emphasis on the sufficiency of Scripture, the primacy of the gospel, and the unity of the Church.
