In this penultimate message of the series “Who Is This God?”, Adrian Turner explores the practical importance of understanding God as a Trinity. The sermon addresses a core theological question: If God the Father is unapproachable and invisible, how can we have a personal relationship with Him?
Key themes from the message include:
• God Mediated: The Father reveals Himself and relates to us through two distinct “hands”: His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
• A Creative Tension: The sermon unpacks the difference between the objective work of the Son (what God did for us in history) and the subjective work of the Spirit (what God does in us personally). This creates a “creative tension” designed to produce spiritual growth and transformation.
• Resolving Conflict: This Trinitarian model provides a divine blueprint for resolving the destructive tensions we face in a fallen world—from political ideologies to personal relationships—by showing how the needs of the whole (the work of the Son) and the needs of the individual (the work of the Spirit) are held in perfect harmony.
This message reveals how the nature of God as a Trinity is not just an abstract concept, but the very key to our salvation, our spiritual journey, and our ability to live in peace.
