Binmin Podcast Ep. 13: Trinity | Putting the Fun In...

Our topic today is the Trinity. This topic is the first in an eight-part series entitled “Putting the Fun in…”. We want to have some fun in understanding the “fundamentals” or “essentials” of the Christian faith. How we understand God profoundly impacts our everyday lives. And Christianity believes in one God, who exists as a Trinity. The Trinity is three distinct persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). And these three Persons share one divine nature. The Trinity is a genuine mystery. It is beyond our ability to comprehend completely. But by using analogies like a triangle, we can apprehend enough to know that it is not contradictory. 0:00 - Opening, Welcome and introduction 1:23 - Christianity believes in only one God (monotheism) (Deut 6:4; Mark 12:29). But our one God exists as a Trinity. 2:37 - “Trinity” or “Tri-Unity” means “Three-in-One” and is a mystery beyond our finite understanding. 3:19 - God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are the members of the Trinity. Some passages mention all three together (Matt. 3:16-18; 28:18-20) 4:35 - We cannot comprehend the Trinity altogether. But we can “apprehend” enough through analogies to show it is not contradictory. 5:05 - While no analogy is perfect, a triangle is illustrative. 7:17 - So What? The Trinity is supremely relational. The three Persons have been in community eternally. But that same God invites us into that relationship! 8:34 - The Trinity should radically change how we worship & pray. We are praying to God our Father--who cares for us and knows his plan for our lives Through the Son--That’s why we often end prayers “In Jesus’ name” because Jesus is the one who stands before God for us And by the power of the Holy Spirit (Rom 8:26) 10:10 - Thank you and wrap up For further information about Binmin and more resources for your spiritual life, visit www.Binmin.org CONNECT WITH THE BINMIN TEAM Instagram: Binmin Linkedin: Binmin Twitter: Binmin Ask Questions: [email protected] PODCAST RESOURCES More from Binmin: Binmin.org Subscribe on Apple Podcasts Subscribe on AnchorFM Subscribe on YouTube PLEASE CONSIDER LEAVING A REVIEW If this podcast has helped you find your next steps for making your spiritual life more important to you, you can help share it by leaving an Apple Podcasts review!
