We are concluding our sermon series through Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians. The city of Corinth was a Roman colony in Greece. It was a lively, global city, a center for thought and creativity, comprised of diverse peoples and cultures. Most of the early Christian converts in Corinth were non-Jews, former pagans and polytheists. Thus, Paul’s message to the Church in Corinth was a radical departure from the status quo: Through the counterintuitive victory of the crucified Christ, the world is being swept up into the grand, redemptive movement of the one true God of Israel. And this changes everything!

For nearly 2000 years, the doctrine of the Trinity has been widely regarded as an essential and foundational Christian doctrine. It's the Bible’s preeminent revelation: God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — three persons in perfect union. This doctrine is what makes Christianity completely distinct. And as we’ll see, this truth is built in to the gospel itself. This Sunday is the last of a 3-week sermon series exploring the relevance of the Trinity for our everyday Christian life together. Our life together grows out of God’s life together.

We will be breaking from our series on 1 Corinthians for a Stand Alone sermon preached by Brandon Barker. The Art of Blessing: The Power of Words to Build Up or Tear Down.

The Bible calls Christians to "baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19) and "train up a child in the way they should go" (Proverbs 22:6). In this stand-alone sermon and baptism service, Pastor Brandon explains why this is important in the life of the believer and the church. We will resume our Corinthians study next week August 6.
