Untying The Trinity: Understanding and Worshiping our Triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
First Baptist Church, McLoud

Sunday, November 12, 2017
I had the privilege of preaching at First Baptist Church in McLoud, Oklahoma this past Sunday - filling the pulpit for my good friend Pastor Matt Halsted, who had returned from the Greer-Heard Point-Counterpoint Forum in New Orleans VERY late the night before (2AM). I am grateful for the opportunity to preach. What follows is a relatively-accurate transcript of my sermon from Sunday.
The heart of my message was: a) Christian Trinitarian belief is unique among the world's religions; b) God's Triunity is required by the biblical evidence; c) Christians cannot willingly embrace logically incoherent (impossible) beliefs; d) the Trinity is not logically incoherent; e) while we cannot fully comprehend God's Tri-unity, we can begin to rationally grasp it. I hope it is helpful!
Throughout human history, virtually every living human
being has believed in God. Even in our
current highly skeptical and secular age, around 80% of Westerners (Europeans,
Americans, Canadians) believe in some divine Being. If you survey the world at large, and
especially if you investigate human history, you find that an overwhelming
majority of human beings affirm the existence of God.
