I will be co-leading a new study for women in January. The study is the Holy Spirit from the Lutheran Difference series. (http://www.cph.org/). It is helpful to understand what the Lutheran Church teaches regarding the Holy Spirit as there are many different understandings amongst denominations. It can be confusing. From the study:
"As Lutherans interact with other Christians, they often struggle to explain their beliefs and practices. Although many Lutherans have learned the “what” of Lutheran doctrines, they do not always understand the “why.” Based on God's Word as faithfully reflected in the Lutheran Confessions, this study will help you to state clearly what you believe."
