Today's Word

Word of the Day: Do you know the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?

God reveals Himself to us in three different forms: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we also refer to this as The Trinity:

  • The Father is the will, the heart of God. All plans come from the Father.
  • The Son is Jesus, God appearing as a man to save us.
  • The Holy Spirit is God entering into the hearts of those who believe, transforming their lives.

You could also think of the trinity as the narrative of our salvation: The Father began our salvation story, the Son accomplishes it through His death and resurrection, and the Holy Spirit applies it to our lives by convicting, transforming, and sanctifying us. Belief in the Trinity places salvation beneath the magnifying glass and provides a clearer view of God's perfect work of redemption.

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Matthew 28: 18-19

The Trinity is an important part of the Christian faith. Note the last words spoken to by Jesus in the book of Matthew, in what is known as The Great Commission. We are commanded to baptize people in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each is treated equally in this passage by Jesus.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

2 Corinthians 13:14

The presence of God the Father, Son, and Spirit in your life fills your heart with joy and hope and enables you to live the life He desires for you. Without God in our hearts, there is a void in our spirits that we constantly seek to fill.

When we receive God and let Him reign in our hearts, everything changes. Our life finds a good direction, our spirit calms knowing it has been redeemed, and our heart leaps for joy when we feel the movement of God's Spirit. Let us worship the Trinity God, who has given eternal meaning to our lives.

3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:3-7

Word of the Day: Meeting with other Christians is a Blessing

God did not create us to live in solitude. He desires that we have healthy relationships with those around us. Our brothers and sisters in faith are treasures from God in our lives, helping us on our journey with the Lord. Therefore, we should value each one, and avoid conflicts, treating everyone with God's sublime love.

not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:25

Do not stop congregating. It is very important to stay connected to a faith community where the Word of God is proclaimed faithfully. Where you can bless and be blessed by communion. Many brothers and sisters leave their congregations and by distancing themselves from the family, take the risk of walking alone. But listening to messages and sermons online is not the same as being part of the Church of Christ.

The Church is like a large flock of the Lord, shepherded collectively. Sheep alone become easy targets for the Enemy.

If you are away from communion with the church, it is time to return! God wants you to grow spiritually alongside a family that is also growing. There are no perfect churches, but you can contribute to make yours more like Jesus. Be the person you hope others will be to you. Love, care, help, support, and encourage other brothers and sisters in faith to persevere in the Christian journey.

Are you living in communion with God's family? Here are some activities and things to do when gathered in Small Groups.

Word of the Day: 3 promises from God for your life

God always fulfills His promises! He makes special promises to those who love Him. And each of us can walk daily in the right direction toward the fulfillment of the plans God has for our lives.

We can never have complete control over our own lives and plans. Sometimes, what may seem like a good idea today can turn into a bad one tomorrow. Moreover, how can we ever know that what we want is the same as what God wants? Even if you desire good things for your life, the Lord always knows what is best for you.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11

God's plans are greater than you can imagine! He has plans to bless you and not harm you. Trust your dreams into God's hands and allow Him to show and guide you on the best paths. Trust in His infinite love and immeasurable goodness!

If you believe in Jesus Christ and have dedicated your life to Him, God promises:

  1. to always be with you,
  2. to grant you a life of abundance,
  3. and to give you eternal life!

He offers these things not because you deserve them, but because He loves you.

Do you want to receive these 3 promises from God, then all you need is to ask.
