The Trinity

Thinking About the Trinity in Small Steps

Along with the doctrines of the Incarnation and the Atonement, the doctrine of the Trinity is unique to the Christian faith. Yet, so few evangelical churches teach much about it. When was the last time you heard a sermon on the Trinity? Here are short audio segments to help you think through this subject in bite-sized pieces. Use your commute! Listen to each one on the way to work and, again, on the way home, one per day. You may then wish to consider an even more neglected subject, God the Father.
