The doctrine of the Trinity has been called the most important
doctrine that nobody thinks about. While it may seem insignificant,
it is a core belief that sets our faith apart from others. One immense
implication of this truth is that as individuals created in God’s
image, we are created for Community. The God who has never
existed outside of community invites and enables us to enter into
community with Him and with one another. Our community should
mirror that of God’s–complete unity within incredible diversity.
Questions to ask: (To help process the truth we learned. Ask yourself, a
friend, your group, or your family questions to talk through it together)
• How does the community found between the persons of the
Trinity impact the way we, as believers, consider community?
• How can our community with one another better reflect the
community of God?
• Who in God–God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy
Spirit–do you know the best?
• Who in God–God Father, God the Son, and God the Holy
Spirit–do you know the least?
