Sermon Series on the Trinity (Fall 2006)In his book The Holy Trinity, Robert Letham says, “The usual way of referring to God is ‘God’ or, particularly at the popular level, ‘Lord.’ It is worth contrasting this with Gregory of Nazianzen, the great Cappadocian of the fourth century, who spoke of ‘my Trinity,’ saying, ‘When I say ‘God,’ I mean Father, Son and Holy Spirit.’” What would it look like to really mean this when we say God? Our aim this semester is not so much to prove the doctrine of the Trinity, but to talk about why it matters – why it is essential – as you consider how God comes to you full of grace and mercy, and how you come to this God.
