Word for the Week

Thank you to everyone in class Saturday for the great discussion on the Trinity. I will send a separate email with a few follow-up thoughts. While believing in the Trinity has a direct correlation with our beliefs on salvation through the sacrifice of Christ, we should not get too frustrated by our inability to comprehend how God is Three and One at the same time. God is divine in nature. He was not created by man, therefore, his nature cannot be fully comprehended by man. We can, however, trust and believe in the Trinity as it is revealed to us in Scripture and through His work in our lives, even though we don't fully comprehend it. Live with the hope that He will fully reveal Himself to us and we will have a full understanding of Him when we live with Him in Heaven for eternity. This week, we will look at comprehending creation. Attached is the Word for the Week. Please work through it and let's have another great discussion this week in class.
Also, please be in prayer about how God might use you and your family to minister to the Murphys during this time. If you have any questions about how you can help or need some ideas about their needs, please feel free to contact me or Brian at any time.
Have a blessed week and we'll see you on Saturday!
John
