Episode Synopsis "Trinity Sunday"
Rev. Spencer Shaw's sermon for Trinity Sunday delves into the profound mystery and beauty of the Holy Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Shaw avoids an exhaustive theological explanation, opting instead to explore the relationship aspect of the Trinity through scripture, emphasizing that God desires to give life abundantly. Using passages from the Gospel of John and the Book of Isaiah, Shaw illustrates God's holy nature and the invitation to live in a relationship with Him. He discusses the concept of holiness, God's transcendence, and immanence, and how believers are called to live out this holy love in the world. The sermon culminates in a call to action, encouraging the congregation to respond to God's call to be His witnesses in their communities.OutlineIntroductionRecognition of Trinity SundayStatement of purpose: exploring the Trinity through scripture rather than exhaustive explanationScriptural FoundationsGospel of John: Jesus' promise of abundant lifeBook of Isaiah: Vision of God's holiness and majestyThe Nature of GodGod as Creator, Sustainer, and RedeemerThe relational aspect of the TrinityGod's desire for a personal relationship with each individualHoliness ExplainedDefinition of holiness: being set apartThe impact of God's holiness on believersThe call to live a holy lifeThe Problem of SinSin as missing the mark of God's bestThe universal nature of sinPaul's teachings in Romans on sin and graceLife in the SpiritThe Holy Spirit's role in leading believers into a life of holinessThe transformation through the SpiritThe fruit of the Spirit as evidence of living in the SpiritCall to ActionThe vision of Isaiah and the cleansing of his lipsThe invitation to respond to God's call: "Whom shall I send?"The call for believers to be witnesses in their communitiesConclusionEmbracing the holy love of the TrinityPersonal commitment to God's missionPrayer and affirmation: "Here am I, Lord, send me."
