New Wineskins pre-conference
Are you registered for New Wineskins yet? While you’re there, be sure to register for SOMA’s pre-conference led by Arb. Miguel Uchôa. Arb. Miguel will teach on the Biblical way to apply our spiritual gifts.
SOMA welcomes Archbishop Miguel Uchôa, Primate of the Church of Brazil. During this one-day pre-conference, Archbishop Uchôa teaches the significance of living out spiritual gifts in a Biblical way. He breaks down misconceptions of the Holy Spirit and illustrates how God empowers you to bring others to Christ. He seeks to inspire a fervent spiritual life and a renewed passion for sharing the Gospel, not through our own strength, but through the power of the Holy Spirit. We will explore 1 Timothy 1:7 and its connection to 1 Corinthians chapters 12-14, and its relevance to our daily lives. The event will include group discussions and practical exercises to enhance the learning experience. This pre-conference promises to deepen your faith and enliven your walk with Christ—don't miss it!
