What does it mean that we worship a Triune God? While the word "Triune" isn’t explicitly found in the pages of Scripture, the early Christian Church carefully adopted this term to defend and proclaim the truth of the one true God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
In this message based on the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20, we dive into the mystery and majesty of our God—Three Persons, yet One God. But this doctrine is far from just an abstract theological puzzle. The Triune God is the very God who claims us in Holy Baptism, equips us for His mission, and sends us out into the world to make disciples.
Join us to hear how God promises to bless and sustain you as we share His name and His truth with the world, resting in the comforting promise that He is with us always, even to the end of the age.

- “Like a Child” (Ep144)
-
In Mark 10:15, Jesus says that anyone “who does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” This text has been misunderstood in different ways through the years since Jesus has said it. But what does it really mean? Aaron and Chuck discuss this important text on this episode of Cravings Answers, Craving God.
