The Eternal Word

from Trinity Community Church Hosted by Neil Silverberg

Have you ever experienced disillusionment with a hero, someone you looked up to and admired? Neil shares his own personal testimony of being let down by a hero and his journey to finding a new hero in Jesus Christ. Join us as we talk about the intimate experience of coming to know Jesus, how he has rightfully occupied the highest place in the Church for two thousand years, and why we cannot place Jesus among other religious teachers throughout human history. Do you know who Jesus really is to God? We explore John's prologue, which starts with the eternal existence of Jesus Christ in the Godhead, even before the events of the Nativity. Delve into how John wrote to refute the heresies of the first-century church, which claimed Jesus was just a man endowed with the spirit of Christ at his birth and the spirit of Christ left him when he died. Learn how John's prologue reveals that Jesus Christ existed eternally in the Godhead before time began, and to understand Jesus of Nazareth, we must first ask who Jesus truly is to God. Lastly, we examine the phrase "the Word was God" and discuss how some translations wrongly portray Jesus as a lesser being than God. Discover the incredible place the Father has given to the Son in the divine economy, and consider the importance of Jesus Christ as both our Savior and the means through which God reveals himself. Join us on this journey to explore the eternal relationship between the Father and the Logos, and how Jesus predates time and governs it, deserving all our worship and glorification.
