The apostle Paul had never been to the city of Colossae or met any of the believers there - but they already had the most important thing in common: the gospel of Jesus Christ!

As we resume our series thinking about who God is we consider a vital Christian truth: God is one in Being, Three in Person. The doctrine of the Trinity is not a contradiction, but it is a mystery. Nonetheless, it is a wonderful, vital truth for every believer to know.

Psalm 36 highlights a stark contrast between the wickedness of mankind and the steadfast love of the Lord. Lest we become overwhelmed by the former, we must rejoice in the latter!

The only constant in our world today seems to be change! From technology to international relations between nations to our own personal lives, everything seems to be busy blur of changes.

Psalm 35 probably doesn't rank highly on our list of favourite psalms. There are even some lines in it that might cause us to question whether we should sing them! But rightly understood, this is a psalm praying for God to justly and fairly deliver his Chosen King from wicked enemies. It is, in fact, good news for the Christian that our God fights for us!

During our communion season we consider Jesus' sixth word from the cross:

1. A Servant's Tasks Finished

2. A Saviour's Suffering Finished

3. Satan Finished
