The Trinity, Part V (Selected Scriptures)

This sermon teaches that while believers have a fixed and unchangeable union with God through Jesus Christ, they are also called to pursue a dynamic, growing communion with God that deeply affects their joy and spiritual vitality. Drawing heavily on John Owen and other theologians, it emphasizes that communion with God can and should be experienced distinctly with each person of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—through intentional relationship, prayer, worship, and affection. The sermon explains communion through six biblical metaphors: participation, knowledge, indwelling, proximity, ingestion, and walking with God, all of which describe an intimate, ongoing engagement with Him. As believers grow in their understanding and enjoyment of God’s triune beauty and glory, their love for Him deepens, leading to greater joy and a richer Christian life.
