Today's sermon
The Faith Once Delivered
Jude 1-25
Today is Trinity Sunday, one of the few celebrations in the Church calendar given over to a doctrine – or collection of doctrines – rather than to the commemoration of an event (or a cause). The Nicene Creed, which we recited this morning, is one of the touchstones of orthodoxy, one of the ways we declare who it is that we worship, and how this God we call Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is different from all other gods defined by all other religions. The Christian definition of God and our understanding of how Jesus Christ is both truly God and truly Man – and why that matters – are at the very core of the gospel.( Collapse )
