Children's Sermon for Trinity Sunday
|
Two's Company, Three's a Crowd? | John 16:12-15
First Thoughts: As we prepare for this Sunday's worship, we find ourselves contemplating the Trinity. The idea of God as Three-in-One has been the source of inspiration, debate, and outright confusion in the Christian world over the centuries. What exactly does it mean, and how do we celebrate it? My personal understanding of the Trinity is that it points us to the essential nature of God and offers an example to the church. God is community, different voices bringing their gifts and creativity to create, sustain, and support all of creation. Although different voices add to the conversation, ultimately the community of God speaks with one voice and acts with one mind. It gives us an inspiring image of what the church is called to do as well. As you prepare to teach the children, spend a few moments considering how you are blessed by the people in your community, and how their perspectives and gifts challenge and refine your own. Close in a prayer of thanksgiving....
