Questions about the Trinity are often asked this way: • Is the word “Trinity” in the Bible? • Do Christians worship three Gods? • Was “Trinity” invented by the Church? • Isn't the notion of “Trinity” irrational? • Don't you think this is a minor issue? Pastor digs into the question of the Trinity by starting at the beginning, in Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” In Hebrew the word for God that is used in this verse is Elohim. Elohim is a plural noun. God is being described in plural terms! Genesis 1:2 “Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” In Hebrew the Spirit of God is “Ruah Elohim”. This is describing God as the Holy Spirit. Genesis 1:3 “And God said, “Let there be light, and there was light.” The word that stands out here is “said”. Observation: Genesis 1 1. Plural noun for God the Creator 2. Spirit of God involved in Creation 3. God's Word brings forth the Creation This three-fold pattern continues throughout the Hebrew Scriptures: 1. Father - Deuteronomy 32:6 “Is He not your Father, your Creator, who made you and formed you?” 2. Spirit - Job 33:4 “The Spirit of God has made me, the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” 3. Word - Psalm 33:6 “By the Word of the Lord the heavens were made and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.” But the Old Testament also says there is but ONE God. Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear, O Israel; The LORD our God, the LORD is one.” And yet one God is describe in a multiplicity of terms. One God and three very distinct Persons. This pattern continues in the New Testament: 1. Father - 1 Peter 1:2 “…chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father.” 2. Spirit - Acts 5:3-4 “…you have lied to the Holy Spirit…you have not lied just to human beings but to God.” 3. Word - John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” In John 1:14 we read more about the Word, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” THE WORD is none other than Jesus, Himself. The Bible sets forth clearly that the One God has revealed Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus says in Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…” The word that stands out in this verse is the word NAME - singular - yet THREE are named. 2 Corinthians 13:14 “May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” This is clear Biblical teaching that the One true God has revealed Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is complex!!! His ways are higher than ours! God who created us…. • Planned to Save us (God knew we would wander away from Him, but His plan from the beginning was save us) • Came to Save us (we cannot save ourselves, we need a divine rescue. Our Divine Rescuer is Jesus who came to earth taking on human flesh and enduring the cross) • Dwells in us to Save us (the God who created us dwells in us, brings us to faith, changes hearts, gives power and testifies to Jesus the Savior) God works as a unity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - each unique and distinct but also uniquely ONE. Is the word “Trinity” in the Bible? The word is not but “the Trinity” is found: Father, Son and Holy Spirit in both Old and New Testaments. Do Christians worship three Gods? No, there is but ONE God, but has revealed Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We do not need to comprehend this to know God's power and presence and truth. Was “Trinity” invented by the Church? The term is invented but The TRUTH of THE TRINITY has been there since the beginning. Isn't the notion of “Trinity” irrational? This is a profound mystery, but not irrational. Pastor shares a lesson from Dr. Walter Martin and the Triple Point of Water where water is solid, gas and liquid all at one time. Three yet one. Is it irrational that the God of the universe can “three yet one.” Don't you think this is a minor issue? No because when we start ignoring what God says about Himself and what the Bible teaches we go into false teaching and false testimony. This is where false religions come in. We're living in a culture that has walked from God and it is disastrous. This is NOT a minor issue - God is above ALL things and He is worthy of our worship and praise. Now What?

Martin Luther - “It is not we who seek God, but God Himself seeks by means of the Word. THEN, after you have been found, then you should seek.” God says, “Here am I. Here am I! I want to be found.” But we ignore Him. We don't even hear Him through the noise of this world. We don't even see Him by the distractions of this world.” But God keeps showing up, revealing himself, even when we don't seek Him. He showed up in the most powerful way, a new testament, a new story dwelling with us, and He still does. Talks to us. Dwells with us in His Word and in His sacraments. Isaiah 65:1–9 Galatians 3:23–4:7 Luke 8:26–39
Through a study of the book of Acts, we're asking the Spirit to conform us to the patterns and practices of the early church — a people who love the lost like Jesus, give of themselves in rhythms of blessing and hospitality, and who seek to engage in curious, spiritual, and gospel conversations. We want the Spirit to do an Acts 3-4 kind of work this week, fulfilling Jesus's promise in Acts 1.8: You will receive power, and you will be my witnesses. What is our role? This week, the story of Stephen invites us to desire nothing less than the fullness of God's presence, always and forever. God's Holy Spirit has come to live in his people, the church, and he wants nothing less than our full lives, fully submitted, so that his presence would fill every corner of the Earth. If this is true, what will God do, who will he speak to, who will he have compassion on, and how will he call you to prioritize your energy, time, and money so that, by the power of his Holy Spirit through you, his mission would be accomplished?
Some cities mentioned in the Bible are familiar like Jerusalem or Ephesus. But what about Pergamum. Jesus wrote a letter to this church and said, they were living where Satan had his throne.
