Deeper thoughts on the Trinity
We have begun our 5 week series on The Gospel and Islam. Yesterday I gave a lot of background on Islam and talked about Muslim and Christian understanding of the Trinity. Specifically what is the difference that Jesus makes. I found this video series from The Buxton Initiative really helpful. I’ll stick it at the bottom of the post. The speakers are insightful, charitable, and passionate about truth. Thank you Buxton for posting this!!
I hope you are in a small group this trimester wrestling with Scripture, getting to know people, and enjoying the opportunity to live life with others. Say no to isolation!!
I hope you got a copy of this free book on Sunday. We gave a copy to every person who came. If we ran out before you got yours, let us know in the comments and we’ll order another round. I love how the author talks about Jesus. He gives us a picture of how we should talk about our faith with anybody– with charity, sincerity, love…
Loved singing God of this City. (Thanks Matt and Bethany) “Greater things have yet to come and greater things are still to be done in this city.” This so vividly captures my heart and passion for what we are building at Restoration. Hope you come along for the ride.

It’s so important to me to hold on to God as _Trinity_: Jesus’ death on the cross has opened a path to reconciliation with God for me as a believer. What joy!
AND God the Holy Spirit has been given to me, bringing gifts: “love, joy, peace….” and “wisdom, understanding, faith….’ In contrast to those in the other monotheistic religions, I hold onto the knowledge that my body is the temple of God the Holy Spirit. Where would I be without the power of the Holy Spirit within me to live out God’s will for me; to bring me, nudge me, push me, closer to Him, and to reveal Him to others?

Thanks everybody. We’ll order about 20 more and you can pick them up on Sunday.
Richard, I love what you shared about the power of the HS to nudge, push, shove… What a gift that is for us.
