Our topic today is the Trinity. This topic is the first in an eight-part series entitled “Putting the Fun in…”. We want to have some fun in understanding the “fundamentals” or “essentials” of the Christian faith.
How we understand God profoundly impacts our everyday lives. And Christianity believes in one God, who exists as a Trinity.
The Trinity is three distinct persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). And these three Persons share one divine nature.
The Trinity is a genuine mystery. It is beyond our ability to comprehend completely. But by using analogies like a triangle, we can apprehend enough to know that it is not contradictory.
0:00 - Opening, Welcome and introduction
1:23 - Christianity believes in only one God (monotheism) (Deut 6:4; Mark 12:29). But our one God exists as a Trinity.
2:37 - “Trinity” or “Tri-Unity” means “Three-in-One” and is a mystery beyond our finite understanding.
3:19 - God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are the members of the Trinity. Some passages mention all three together (Matt. 3:16-18; 28:18-20)
4:35 - We cannot comprehend the Trinity altogether. But we can “apprehend” enough through analogies to show it is not contradictory.
5:05 - While no analogy is perfect, a triangle is illustrative.
7:17 - So What? The Trinity is supremely relational. The three Persons have been in community eternally. But that same God invites us into that relationship!
8:34 - The Trinity should radically change how we worship & pray.
10:10 - Thank you and wrap up
