Intro
This morning I thought I would preach over something simple and easy to understand so that you will think that I am really smart
obviously, this topic is filled with mystery and a lot of people are confused
Or, maybe worse than confused, people misunderstand this- they think its just a kind of useless topic.—
Like astronomy.
Astronomy
Astronomy is one of those things that people just know fun facts about: certain sizes, stars, constellations, distances.
We all know stars are beautiful and breathtaking,they make us feel small, they remind us that time moves forward without us, they are incredible.
But, much of what we know about the stars doesn’t matter.
Did you know: stars are in perfect balance
There is a huge gravitational pull inward, but the energy moving outward (light) pushes it in from collapsing on itself.
Did you know: That you can only really see about 2,500 stars on the clearest of nights?
Did you know: that 1/4 Americans think that the sun orbits the earth
These are fun facts about something none of us will really know.
But, they are somewhat useless, because we can’t apply them to our lives.
This morning
Many people see the trinity the same way:
it’s cool to talk about sometimes, but I don’t really know a lot about it
it seems like something you need to go to school to really talk about
It doesn’t really effect my life at all
But, we are going challenge that today: I am going to argue that the truth about the trinity is life-changing for all of us and we need to take it seriously.
So, what is the Trinity:
God is ONE and THREE at the SAME TIME
People squabble here and say that God is illogical and can’t be real.
Law of Non-Contradiction states “A cannot be A and non-A at the same time and in the same relationship.”
The Trinity is saying that God is one in A and three in B
3 Who’s and 1 What
Truth 1: God is THREE DISTINCT PERSONS
The “What”
God the Father
Authoritative
The “sender”
He is glorified by the Son
God the Son
Jesus Christ
Takes the role of the Servant
He was “sent” and went
He became man and lived a perfect life, going to a sacrificial death to be the payment for our sin— To the Father (Ref)
He became man and lived a perfect life, going to a sacrificial death to be the payment for our sin— To the Father
He was raised from the dead
God the Holy Spirit
Descends, moves, hears, speaks, opens eyes and ears, is grieved, fills, is quenched
He is a counselor and helper.

He is sent
He is sent
He goes
He goes
He knows you
He knows you
These things area all accomplished separate from one another, as individuals
Truth 2: Each Person is FULLY GOD
God the Father is God
Pretty unchallenged in the history of the world
God the Son is God
Jesus just straight up said he was God- ,
“I am the Father are one”
Jesus was put to death for claiming to be God-
,
Before/During/After Creation- ,
Walking around on earth-
Walking around on earth-
After He died-
After He died-
God the Holy Spirit is God
He is the source of Spiritual life- ,
He is referred to as “God”-
He is referred to as “God”-
He is eternal-
He is eternal-
He is omnipresent-
He is omnipresent-
These are things that could only be accomplished by a being who was fully God
Truth 3: There is ONE GOD
There is only one God

Rooted in Monotheism
We see this as this truth is slowly revealed to us throughout scripture
Each person is introduced and we see them work independently
While hindsight is 20-20 and as we look back, they were there all along.
