Trinity Sunday: Drawn into the Life of God

26/5/2024

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Texts: Isaiah 6:1-6; Romans 8:12-17; John 14:6-11,16-17]
Trinity Sunday is the great finale of the seasons of Lent, Easter and Pentecost.  Easter made it clear that Jesus is God; Pentecost that the Holy Spirit is God - and now at Trinity we put the pieces together to see that God is one in essence with three persons.

Preacher: Helen Hardcastle  [Texts: Genesis 1:1, 26-27; 2 Corinthians 13:11-14; Matthew 28:16-20]

2022 Trinity

12/6/2022

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Texts: John 16:12-15; Proverbs 8:1-4,22-31; Romans 5:1-5]
The Trinity - a mystery but not a contradiction.  God is one being but exists in three persons - this satisfies all the statements made about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit in the Bible.  One ancient analogy is to a circle dance read on to learn more...

Why the Trinity?

30/5/2021

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Texts: John 14:6-11,16-17; 1 Corinthians 12:2-6; Deuteronomy 6:1-6]

Christ: the Divine Shepherd

12/5/2019

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Texts: John 10:22-30; Revelation 7:9-17]
The leaders of the people ask Jesus to clarify whether or not he is the Christ but instead He tells them He is ... God!  This is the one who assures us of his care and leading of us and calls us to follow him!

11/6/2017

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle   [Texts: Genesis 1:1-5, 24-31 ; 2 Corinthians 13:11-13; Matthew 28:16-20]
The historical creed focusing on the Trinity is the Athanasian Creed.  Let's consider this teaching in the light of scripture and the understanding the Church came to in its early years.
