(SERMON) Trinity Sunday 2019 - Romans 5:1-5

The teaching about the Holy Trinity - who God is - is often shunned by Christians but this should not be the case.  There are three simple things to bear in mind when thinking about God as Trinity:

1.  You don't need a master's degree in Trinitarian Theology to accept and submit to who God has revealed Himself to be.

2. God has truly revealed Himself as Trinity in the Bible; One God yet Three Persons. This means a relationship with God and salvation itself is only found in accepting and submitting to the teaching of the Trinity.

3. The Trinity is Good News because it reveals just how amazingly generous and loving God is - He doesn't need us and never has but still He created us that He might share His own goodness, joy, peace, freedom, and glory with us.

(SERMON) Trinity Sunday 2018: John 3.1-18 & Romans 8.12-17

On the day I baptised my cousin-in-law and niece in to the household of faith I preached about the Trinity: about how God has revealed Himself, what this  tells us about God, and why this changes everything for us who believe.

(SERMON) The Holy Trinity: Biblical, Binding, and Beautiful

The incomprehensible doctrine of the Trinity exists because that is how God revealed Himself to us in the Bible.  Because it is in the Bible then believing in the Trinity - 'believing in' not 'understanding enough to write a dissertation on!' - is necessary if we wish to be saved.  Finally, the Trinity is a wonderful and beautiful thing which we should rejoice in and love to proclaim rather than hide away.

(SERMON) Trinity Sunday 2016 - The Athanasian Creed

Though rarely used, the Athanasian Creed is one of the official Creeds of the Church of England, it contains powerful and basic truths about God which we should both love and enjoy.

It teaches 1) The necessity of the Trinity to salvation 2) The  doctrine of the Trinity it utterly foundational 3) The catholic faith is the creedal faith, 4) We are called to believe not understand  5) We are called to not only believe but worship.

Knowing about the Trinity is this way changes our lives because 1) It humbles us completely 2) It reveals and encourages true Love 3) It builds up and makes sense of all human relationships.

Let us not shy away from the fact that the Trinity IS Christianity, the Trinity IS Salvation, and the Trinity IS our only hope and peace,
