Trinity

When planning youth ministry sermons, it's sometimes tempting to shy away from deep theological topics. Why is there evil in our world? Why did God give Adam and Eve the choice to obey or disobey? Why does God permit boy bands to exist?

The Trinity can be a challenging topic to address, but this sermon series with Josh Griffin will help your students gain a clearer understanding of who God isÑthe Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

God is a Father who rescues sinners as the Son, and the Holy Spirit dwells inside us and guides us. Understanding the Trinity will help your teenagers realize that God is not some distant God who simply created the world and left it all to its own devises. God truly is close by.

This series features three insightful messages:

• Father Knows Best
• A Hero Will Rise
• Spirit

A clearer understanding of God's nature allows teenagers to lead lives built on the solid truth that God the Father loves them with open arms; Jesus the Son is the rescuer of humanity who sets them free, and God the Holy Spirit works inside of them to guide them and to shape them into the people God wants them to become.
