The Trinity is the most foundational belief to our faith. It’s simple and complex, straightforward and profound. It is a marvelous mystery that invites us to know God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. // 1. Do you know anyone who has fallen for a prank, a scheme, or a counterfeit before? Have you seen YouTube videos where people are tricked or fooled? How were they misled? What information were they missing that could have kept them from being deceived? // 2. Describe and define the Trinity. Draw on your whiteboard a triangle and label each person of the Trinity. How are each of them different from each other (do they have different roles)? How are they all the same God (what characteristics do they share)? // 3. How does the Trinity keep us from falling for false religions? If a belief system denies that Jesus is God, how should we talk with those who believe those things? Read 2 Peter 3:16-17, 1 John 2:22-23, and 2 Timothy 4:3-4. How do these verses urge us to know what’s true and right about the Triune God? // 4. Read Acts 17:10-12. How did the Bereans react when Paul and Silas taught them? Did they accept everything without thinking about it, or did they go somewhere elseto confirm? How is this an example for us when we hear others talk about who they think God is?
