Richard Liantonio The Eternal Community of Love - a Relational Understanding of the Trinity The doctrine of the Trinity is one of the most foundational beliefs we can seek to understand. Though often thought of as unnecessary, it is critically relevant and dynamically practical for our lives individually before God and together as the people of God. Essentially, the doctrine of the Trinity tells us that God has eternally existed as three persons in loving, delightful community. Relationship is the essence of God. Understanding the Trinity enlarges our concept of the experience of God beyond ourselves, we come to understand our place in the world and the history of God, we are empowered to understand more deeply the profound love and relationality that lies at the center of God and indeed the entire universe; and we receive a dynamic precedent, example and empowerment to live lives of self-giving love reaching out beyond ourselves and embracing others. Part 1 - Can We Experience the Trinity? Part 2 - Is the Trinity Practical? Part 3 - The Trinitarian History of the Son Part 4 - Trinity and the Cross Eternal Community of Love - pdf Notes The Trinitarian Sacrifice of Love - audio video pdf notes - Mark records Jesus crying from the cross saying, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” If we take the death cry of Jesus seriously, then the crux of Jesus’ passion was not His physical suffering, but the anguish caused by the alienation that entered the relationships between the Trinitarian persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Understanding the cross in this light reveals to us the Crucified Lord who meets us the deepest and most profound places of our suffering. The Resurrection of Jesus: Retelling the Story (mp3) - an exposition of Luke 24 looking at how the resurrection of Jesus retells three stories which gave shape to lives of those who received the gospel and can give strength to our lives now. Luke’s account of the resurrection of Jesus retells: 1) the story of Israel, confirming to us the promise of justice; 2) the story of humanity, confirming to us the promise of life; and 3) our individual stories, confirming to us the promise of freedom. Herein we find that the resurrection of Jesus does not occur in abstraction, but in continuity with the biblical history of the promise of God and the God of promise. By his resurrection, Jesus assures to us that these promises are true and enables us to have hope that rises above the contradictions and ambiguities were currently experience in life and faith. Restoring Hope in Purpose and Destiny (mp3) pdf notes - It is normal for a believer to go through periods of discouragement as they seek to understand their purpose and significance. However, many seek a remedy in understanding their individual purpose over and against others. This teaching focuses on restoring hope by understanding one’s purpose and destiny as part of the corporate people of God. Eschatology - The Power of Hope that Overcomes Despair (mp3) pdf notes - This is a broad-stroke look at the subject of eschatology - the study of the Christian hope. Our hope springs, not from any personal achievement, gifting, calling, occupation,or ministry, but from the Resurrection of the crucified Messiah and Lord of the world. His resurrection is a down-payment of the righteousness, life, peace, freedom and joy we can hope for in the age to come. Enjoying Intimacy with God (pdf) - teachings on the basics of intimacy with God including enjoying God, the tender mercy of God, the gladness of God and the fiery passion of God The Gladness of God Isaiah 62 - Understanding our Identity in the Gladness of God (mp3) -Understanding of the heart of God for us and who we are before Him is one of the most critical possessions a believer can have. This teaching walks through Isaiah 62 and explores how God’s exuberant and abundant delight in us reorients how we perceive and identify ourselves. Rather than holding on to the false names of “Abandoned” and “Desolate” God names us “My Delight is in You.” Rejoicing to Hear the Voice of the Bridegroom PDF notes - John the Baptist was the forerunner for the Messiah Jesus and together they heralded the nearness and dawning of the Kingdom of God in its inauguration at his first coming. Before the second coming of Jesus the Lord is raising up forerunners, or heralds, to announce the glorious gospel of the kingdom, which He will consummate with the establishment of the New Heavens and the New Earth. John 3 is a programmatic verse for the life of the forerunner. Here we learn that a primary dimension of John’s life was possessing an understanding of Jesus as a bridegroom filled with fiery love and desire. Understanding Jesus in this way caused his heart to be filled with joy and will cause our hearts to be filled with the same. Verses explicitly mentioning the gladness of God (almost 350 verses) Verses that imply the gladness of God (over 200 verses) The Gladness of God in the Fellowship of the Trinity N.T.
