The Trinity cannot be complete without the Holy Spirit. Everything the Spirit says and does points to Jesus. It was through the power of the Holy Spirit that Jesus was born. Romans 8:16 says this, "For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children." The Holy Spirit is there to help illuminate us with how to see and understand the things of God.

On part 2 of the Trinity we hear how important Jesus is. Jesus came to teach and preach, and to give his life as a sacrifice for sin. But he is also an important part of the Trinity. The Trinity is One God in three persons, each with the same nature and the same essence, in compound unity with the other members.

Does God exist? The belief that God is one God, comprised of three persons, divides Christianity from any other belief system. We here at GBC believe that God, Creator of all things, holy, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in a loving unity of three equally divine Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

People want to believe that we, as individual are basically good. But then why are our own lives so messed up? It's are rebellion against God that prevents us from being closer to him. We can be closer to God if we submit to his will. To be saved means to be lifted from our state of total depravity, to be cleaned, healed, restored. To be like Jesus.

We need to understand that Christianity is not about us getting into heaven. God's plan is to get heaven into us, to change us into brother and sisters of Jesus. We can make the choice to follow Jesus, and God makes the changes in our lives. Galatians 5:16 states this, "So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves."

Pastor Dave explains how important it is to Love God and Others. John 3:16 say, "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believed in him will not perish but have eternal life". We can show our love to God by obeying his commandments. We keep God's commandments because we love Him, and we desire to please him. Those commandments are designed to teach us how to love him and how to love others.

In our fourth week of advent Pastor Dave speaks about love. Love really can change the world, but we're just not very good at it. And we can confuse unconditional love with a warm feeling and that's not what God expects from us. He wants us to love unconditionally. John 3:16 "For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life".

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year? Part 2 In Christ, peace has come to a world torn by hatred and violence. So where is this peace that Christians have been talking about for nearly 2000 years? We can find peace in three forms: Peace with God, Peace with others and peace of mind and heart.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year? Usually, when we say, "I hope," we really mean "I wish." Now Christian hope is not wishful thinking or a temporary illusion-it's the anticipation of the sure thing. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary.
