Each church already has people that can multiply the church’s shepherding and ministry work with proper training. Learn how spiritual growth among adults can provide multiplying benefits to help address this problem.

Patricia graduated with a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies as part of the first graduating class from Redemption Seminary.

The apostle John talks about “the world” in dramatically different ways. In John 3:16 we read that “God so loved the world…” but in his first epistle, John tells us “not to love the world or anything in the world.” How should we understand this and how does it influence our understanding of our attitudes toward pleasure? Dr. Gary Thomas presents a lecture on this topic. Redemption Seminary uses lecture content like this to produce studies that are the building blocks for its courses. Work through this short study and see if it helps with your daily growth in grace and understanding of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
