When we do not listen to people and get to know them as they are, this creates barriers in relationships. Barriers happen when inauthentic and selfish behavior dominates the relationship. This creates a situation where one cannot get to know another because he cannot get past the protective shell of the ego. That shell may be many things, but it prevents authentic relationships.

This lesson will introduce the first five books of the Bible, the Law of Moses. Each person will become more familiar with the first five books of the Bible.

The only way for someone to reveal their true self to us, though, is to talk to them. God reveals Himself to us by talking to us. Paul wrote, “For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God” (1 Corinthians 2:11-12). We cannot know the mind of another unless that mind is revealed to us through communication.

The Holy Spirit is a person because 1) is God 2) is a Unique Person, 3) has a Unique Role. Each listener should be able to describe the Holy Spirit by the scriptures. I want to educate each listener on what the Bible teaches regarding the Holy Spirit.
