Pastor Josh shares on the subject of the Trinity. He explains that while understanding Christian beliefs is important, faith should be about more than simply knowing the right answers. The aim is not just to know about God, but to know Him personally.
He makes the important point that the Trinity is not simply an academic subject to debate. It describes who God is: one God who exists eternally as three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Understanding this is central to Christian faith because it shapes how we know and relate to God.
He explains that the Trinity can be difficult to understand fully, and that is okay. God is greater than our ability to comprehend Him completely. We do not need to understand everything about God to believe in Him.
Turning to 2 Corinthians 13:14, Pastor Josh explores how we can experience the Trinity in our everyday lives through the grace of Jesus, the love of the Father and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.
First, he looks at the grace of Jesus. Through the cross, we see God’s undeserved kindness towards us. This grace is not just something that happened in the past, it continues to bring comfort, strength and hope today, especially when we feel guilty, broken or weak.
Next, he speaks about the love of the Father. God’s love is faithful and constant, even when we struggle or let Him down. The cross is the clearest picture of this love, reminding us that nobody is beyond the reach of God’s love, whatever their past or present circumstances.
Finally, he explores the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit brings us into a close relationship with God, who is not distant but present with us in our thoughts, struggles and joys.
Pastor Josh encourages us to nurture our relationship with God through prayer and to ask the Holy Spirit for help when relationships within the church feel difficult.
His central message is that the Trinity is not simply a belief to debate, but a relationship to experience through God’s grace, love and presence in our lives.
