August 20, 2023 Insights into the Heart of God, 2 Corinthians 13:11-14

Today we welcome Pastor Bill Nieuwenhuis to lead us in our worship service. Today will focus on Pauls’ letter to the Corinthians in his sermon, Insights into the Heart of God. At the heart of the Christian faith is the doctrine of the Trinity.  This doctrine proclaims that God is three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; yet one God. It is a teaching that is hard to grasp. It leaves us wondering about the true nature of God and how we are to understand his very nature. As the Apostle Paul brought his correspondence to the Corinthian Church to a close, he extended the blessing of the triune God upon them (2 Corinthians 13:14).  In doing so, the Apostle revealed something very important about the very heart of God himself.  In this blessing, each person of the Trinity extends to God’s people a particular aspect of the Almighty’s heart.  When we consider our great God from this perspective, we suddenly realize we are indeed a very blessed people.
