Sermon Title: The Trinity

Knox Presbyterian [audio:https://wordsfromthemiddle.ca/wp-content/uploads/120603_-_Knox.mp3|titles=The Trinity]

I’m sorry that I haven’t got to this post until Monday, I really, really try to get this sort of thing up on Sunday . . . just in case.

This is Trinity Sunday and the sermons are my attempt, which may not be all that good of an attempt, to walk the balancing act between a theological lecture on the origin and meaning of the Trinity and what the Trinity has to do with us today. It is, by no means, a dry and dusty doctrine with no connection to us, rather it is the unmistakable evidence of the ultimate relationality of God; God in three Persons.

I hope, as I always do, that you will find this, or these messages, meaningful and helpful. Please feel free to add a comment or two if you have anything to say. I really value dialogue. Really.

Blessings,

PS I would just like to remind you that if you don’t want to listen to this (or any recent) sermon from this page and your browser refuses to let you download from here, use this link which has this and the past few sermons all ready for downloading.

Does it matter what we know?

We know a lot of things. I can say that about virtually any adult and certainly about any adult I know. We know what time we need to be at work, how much we can spend on groceries, our middle name, all sorts of things. But what don’t we know? You might not know my…

I’m suspicious of “either/or”
ByBarry 2021/03/142021/03/14
As the title says, I am suspicious of the notion of “either/or.” I’m pretty sure I’ve said it in this space before but there very few actual binaries out there. About the only one I’m likely to stand behind these days is “alive/dead” and I’m not entirely certain about it either. Language can be slippery….

Who? Me?
ByBarry 2015/09/13
I think it is virtually impossible for any of us over a particular age to hear “Only you . . .” without filling in the rest with “. . . can prevent forest fires” complete with the visual image of a stern bear pointing directly at us. For some people that might have been their…

God of the living

Today was Remembrance Sunday, at least for us. There a a lot of ways one can go with Remembrance Sunday, it is complicated when it coincides with Remembrance Day but there are some givens regardless of the calendar date. We observed two minutes of silence, which is a very long time for most of us….
