This is Week Four of our series Rooted: What Christians Believe. At the time in our church life, we believed that a fresh look at Christian Doctrine was needed. We summarized some of the main Christian beliefs into 13 weeks of teaching. 

Week four centers around the idea of the Doctrine of the Trinity. On one level, it's very easy for a Christian to answer the question: Who is God? Jesus Christ. 
But ask another "Christian" who is God, and depending on their view of the Trinity, they might parse out that question differently, and according to the Nicene creed: wrongly. 

In this teaching, we discuss the Christian orthodox view of the Trinity: 
1. God is one divine being, and only one.
2. This one God is and has three divine, equal, distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 
3. All three of these co-equal persons are equally divine and co-authoritative.
4. There is no lesser God or person among them.

Here, I tackle some of the theological questions in the Christian faith by what we mean when we talk about God, and I also talk about some of the consequences of getting the Christian God wrong. 

Lastly, I discuss some practical aspects for our Christian life, that flow from our proper understanding of God as a Trinity.

Please let us know if anything inspired, illuminated, or challenged you!

Thank you for listening,
Peace to you.
