I just read the blog post on Google Sites. This looks like great stuff. I know that our IT team has SharePoint on the radar screen for an install here at Resurrection, and it looks like there may be some similarity in features here. Any church leaders implementing or thinking about implementing any of the […]
I received this question from Craig via email. This question is in reference to this past weekend’s sermon which you can watch here. This weekend Adam mentioned that “give us this day our daily bread” was in part an invitation to place our trust in God. He made reference to one of the scriptures that […]
On Sunday night, Nicole and I had the great opportunity to be a part of a small group teaching from the newly released – Prayer: A Small Group Curriculum. I had a great time. I received a follow up email from Nelson, a member of the group, from a conversation that we had that evening. […]
On Sunday night, Nicole and I had the great opportunity to be a part of a small group teaching from the newly released – Prayer: A Small Group Curriculum. It is a four week small group study about prayer. This was developed, written and produced here at Resurrection and I think that it is a […]
I have thoroughly enjoyed thinking and writing about the Trinity this week. Thanks to Kim and Kyle for the invitation to be a part of the Sunday morning small group taster out of which these questions originated. For more information about the source of these questions read the post – What is the Trinity? What […]
What is a correct relationship between the Son / Holy Spirit and me? Who can I depend on for strength in time of weakness? I believe that it is faithful to consider yourself a child of God the Father, a sister or brother of God the Son and as one living with God the Holy […]
Why couldn’t / didn’t Peter heal in the name of the Holy Spirit? Acts 1:8 – Christ promises “power when the Holy Spirit comes upon [them]” Acts 3:6 – Peter heals in the name of Jesus. I tried to find a reference about Jesus giving direction or instruction about healing in his name. The only […]
Are there any references to the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament? The particular understanding of the Holy Spirit as a person of the Trinity comes out of thought around the revelation of Jesus Christ. Thinking about the relationships between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are not something that originate out of the Old […]
Is the Holy Spirit equal to the Father and the Son or is it a go-between? Diagrams… This question included a drawing of my description of a way of Visualizing the Trinity that Thomas Weinandy’s thesis might suggest. I think that this question points out a possible weakness in this way of thinking about the […]
What is the best way to visualize or explain the Trinity to someone? Let me say first, that an attempt to diagram the Trinity is quite ridiculous. There is no way that God can be circumscribed in words or pictures. However, I do think that it is faithful to seek to understand and what follows […]
With the idea of the Trinity being so easy to say “Father, Son and Holy Spirit.” I want some pointers on how to begin explaining to somebody that doesn’t understand (as much as I try to). How do you correct people that say that there can’t be the three separate things and one God? I […]
How do you feel about the Trinity? How long did it take for you to start to get a grasp of it? I feel good about the Trinity. I agree with deviantmonk in the comment on Physics of the Trinity. As far as I’m concerned, [the Trinity is] the bedrock of Christian theology, worldview, ethics, […]
