On the Trinity and the Holy Spirit

On the Trinity and the Holy Spirit

For many of us, the Trinity is something that we confess, but if we are honest, we are not sure what it means. While the Trinity is a mystery, there are helpful ways of thinking about it and understanding it better. In this brief clip on God’s triune nature, Greg discusses the nature of the Trinity and how the Spirit draws you up into God’s life.

Was Jesus Abandoned by the Father on the Cross?

As Jesus hung on the cross, he cried, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (Mt 27:46). This is the cry of our God who stooped to the furthest possible depths to experience his own antithesis, as the all-holy God becomes the sin of the world (2 Cor 5:21) and the perfectly united God becomes the curse of…
