    God as Trinity teaches us that relationships matter, that evangelism is an imperative, that joy in community is central to the Christian life and it gives us a living hope that God has a future prepared for us in the new heaven and the new earth.

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. What is God like? What’s your image of ...read more
