The Holy Trinity

Published on Nov 22, 2016

What truth could possibly be more important to understand, embrace and encounter than the truth that this universe has not one but three Gods? And that ALL THREE love us intimately and want to help us get to know them individually.

PRESENTATION OUTLINE

The Holy Trinity

Why Believe in Father, Son and Holy Spirit?

Many think the Trinity is old school

Or that it has no practical value

So, why believe in
the Trinity?

1) It's the Truth!

(Can you handle it?)

If it's true, you'd be crazy not to believe it

2) Jesus Believed It

(He's One who should know)

Jesus served the One He called Father

He said He would send the Holy Spirit to us

3) Practical Benefits

(How it works for us)

We get to know not 1 but 3 Gods intimately!

Through Jesus we meet the other Two

OK, where can we go to verify?

Curiously, our first stop is the O.T.
