The only way to really begin understanding the nature of the Trinity is to begin reading the story of the Bible to see how the three persons of the Godhead relate to each other. And from the very beginning, Genesis 1, we can see that the Trinity's plan to make human beings in their image reveals how both God and man can be defined in terms of relationship.
Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
