CSM Basic Seminar

Session Teachings

God's Word, His character, His will and ways are so amazing, how will we ever be able to fully understand them?  It is a journey.  These Session teachings can be a part of that journey revealing how we can become more like our Father, removing obstacles on our way to that goal.

The session teachings are recommended to be presented in the following format:

Introduction: Overview of the principles to follow.

DVD Teachings: View the seminar teachings by Pastors Chris Hayward, Raymond Pettitt, and Bishop Joseph Garlington.  At the end of each DVD session, Pastor Jack provides wise counsel and encouragement.

Small Group Setting: A small group setting is recommended with each teaching, promoting discussion for three basic questions about the Session's foundational truth: What is it?  Why do it?  How do we do it?

Putting it into Practice: Encourage your group to hear the Word and put it into practice!

Session One: Walk in the Spirit

By Pastor Chris Hayward

In this Session, the Lord is calling us to Walk in the Spirit.  For some, it will be another step in a journey that began long ago, for others it will be the beginning.  Whichever it is, the Lord desires to walk with us.

What does it mean to Walk in the Spirit?

It means to walk spiritually with purpose, balance, observation, and action.  Keeping your eyes on Jesus and winning the tug of war, being led by the Holy Spirit rather than allowing our souls to rule over our choices and decisions. Walking in the Spirit is the process of our souls learning to relinquish control and let God take charge of our lives so we can remember we are His work in progress!

 

Session Two: Commit Everything to God

By Pastor Raymond Pettitt

The call to Commit Everything to God is explored in this Session.  He is trustworthy!  He calls us beyond relationship with Him and into relationship with others.

Why Commit Everything to God?

Commitment involves trusting the One who has proven Himself to be trustworthy, placing in His hands anything that would distract or hinder us on our path as we walk in the Spirit.  This session helps us to adjust our perspecitve and align ourselves properly with the Lord.

 

Session Three: Speak Words of Life

By Pastor Chris Hayward

In this Session, you will learn to Speak Words of Life by planting good seed into our own soil (our souls) and into that of others.

How do we Speak Words of Life?

Words are like seeds.  When spoken words can be sewn into our lives and the people around us.  Like seeds, our words have the power to reproduce.

 

Session Four: Enter the Cleansing Stream

By Pastor Raymond Pettitt

The Lord is calling us to Enter the Cleansing Stream.  As we do this we become aware that there is a battle going on in the spiritual realm.  Even though the outcome has already been determined through the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are responsible to actively engage in our healing and restoration.

What does it mean to Enter the Cleansing Stream?

This session prepares us for the retreat weekend.  We need to be available to the Holy Spirit as he provides cleansing and restoration.

 

Session Five: Press Towards the Goal

By Joseph Bishop Garlington

After we receive cleansing, healing, and experience the Lord with a greater dimension, Press Towards the Goal gives us tools to continue pursuing God and recognizing anything that does not bring him glory.

What does it mean to Press Toward the Goal?

To diligently pursue Jesus and His call on our lives.
