A fourteen-session inductive study of the sacrament of Confirmation, built for candidates and their parents to walk through together. The study opens the Scriptures in order, from the breath of God over the waters of creation to the anointing of kings and prophets, the promise of the Paraclete, and the fire of Pentecost. It arrives at the seal of the Holy Spirit given through the laying on of hands, the seven gifts, and the fruits, and sends candidates out as witnesses. Every hard objection is built at full strength and answered from the open text. Leader guides and take-home sheets for every session.
You Shall Receive Power runs 14 sessions. Every session comes with a complete leader's preparation guide and a printable take-home sheet for the people in the room, and the full text of each night can be read on a phone from the list below. All of it is free to download, print, and share, with no sign up and no cost.
Every title below opens the full leader's guide for that night, set to read on a phone. Nothing is held back and nothing asks for an email address.
You do not need to be a theologian to lead You Shall Receive Power. The leader's guide carries the questions, the answers, and the background, so the group can discover the text together. There is a short guide to hosting a Bible study if this is your first one, and a set of six questions that will help you choose a study if you are still deciding.
