What is the conscience? How does the devil work in our conscience? And, how does the Holy Spirit work to train and comfort the conscience? Join us at Divine Shepherd in Black Hawk, SD where we will explore the Biblical teaching of the conscience, what affects it, what hurts it, and how the Lord Jesus intends to give us a clean, clear, good and joyful conscience through the Gospel.
