  • As we move through whats known as the Christian Calendar (Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Holy Week, Eastertide, the Ascension, and Pentecostlast Sunday), we come to Trinity Sunday today. Each of the previous seasons of time dealt specifically with the life and ministry of Jesus, from the beginning until the end of time, and His return in the Second Coming. Trinity Sunday, focuses on the Godhead. You will notice that in each worship service, each person of the Trinity is addressedFather, Son, and Holy Spirit. We worship the Father, through the Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit. All three members are active in our worship. Worship tells Gods story, so it is imperative that the entire Godhead is addressed. I have often thought what would I learn of the Christian faith if I went to church every week and formed my theology based solely on the songs, prayers, and other parts of the liturgy (work of the people). In addition to the sermon, what we say, sing, and pray shapes our theology. Is the one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit acknowledged in our worship? Notice the references to the Trinity in todays worship. - Dr. Dan Sharp
