WEBVTT 00:00:01.280 --> 00:00:02.399 Thank you, Joe. 00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:04.160 Joanne? 00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:06.400 Or is it Joanna? 00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:08.880 Or is it Josephine? 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:11.199 I'm Andy. 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.880 Or as some of you might know, I'm Andrew, as my mum probably called me. 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:22.079 But for ages of seven and a half till when we actually got married, I was actually called by my middle name. 00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.480 So names are important, aren't they? 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:28.879 It's Phil. 00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:33.759 Even at our best man at our wedding talked about Phil. 00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.159 And my family were completely confused as to Josephine married. 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:44.159 But as we put up here, you know, we're thinking about names. 00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.960 And as we've been worshipping, which is amazing as well. 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.439 Thank you so much, Sheldon and Dawn. 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:51.280 I'm absolutely spot on. 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:57.200 Probably don't mean the original name, but just sort of all songs about the Trinity and the immenseness of God. 00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.840 But I work in the business world, and the business world is so confusing and so difficult. 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:09.840 When I send an email to people in India or different parts of the world, they instantly reply, Hi Hassan, because that's their surname. 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.439 So they don't recognise my name's Andrew or Andy or Phil. 00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:14.640 They write Hassan, Tom. 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.280 And it's like how do you respond to that? 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:22.400 And obviously, what we've seen at proliferation recently is that I see this on the bottom of emails. 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:27.359 People want to be referred to correctly when you speak to them when you write to them. 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:32.640 So they want to be known as a she, they want to be known as her, they want to be known as he or him. 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:40.079 And obviously, we've got those that obviously want you to feel as though you've not given them a gender, and they refer to them as they, them or theirs. 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:41.920 Who started it all? 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:47.840 Now I don't think the queen did start it all, but um she didn't like to be referred to as I. 00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.159 She liked to be referred to as one. 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:54.879 And um the we apparently was relating to her and the whole Commonwealth. 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.439 That's why she used the phrase we. 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.400 Does anyone think where's the gone with this? 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:02.400 You've learned a bit. 00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:02.959 Joseph. 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:03.920 Phil. 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:05.200 No, that's not practicing. 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:11.199 Um so I've been saying I've been asked to speak back to chosen this topic. 00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.039 Um, yeah, chose this topic. 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:14.159 I'd rather choose this topic. 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:15.599 Right, why did I choose this topic? 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:17.039 They're easy ones, weren't they? 00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:17.840 On the list. 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:22.960 I'm not a theologian. 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.520 Um any theologians in the room? 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:28.960 Oh lovely, right. 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.520 We can have a discussion afterwards about that. 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:38.000 Um and obviously I'm aware we've got lots and lots of different people here from lots and lots of backgrounds and traditions. 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:44.639 And obviously, the last thing I want to do is kind of offend anybody, and I might have already offended people by putting up pronouns about gender. 00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.080 So you can call me they if you want, but I don't really want to. 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:49.680 So, Trinity. 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:52.479 You probably know this already, the word Trinity is not in the Bible. 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.960 So, why am I preaching about something that actually the word itself is not in the Bible? 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:00.400 So we can again, theologian, we can chat about what is in the Bible. 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:02.879 Are there any tri-words that are in the Bible? 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:04.639 Um, so we can talk about that. 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.240 Um, but there is a definition. 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:16.000 So, one God existing as three distinct, co-equal persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:17.840 We'd all agree with that, would we? 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:21.840 Right, so we're on the same starting page at least. 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:27.280 So, and what we know from the very, very beginning is the commandments that we were given. 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:33.280 So, back in Exodus, Moses went up onto the mountain and he was given the first commandment. 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:41.199 If you recognise this as the first commandment, I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of slavery. 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:45.759 You must not have any other god small to you but me. 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:48.159 I always check these things, theologians do, wouldn't they? 00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:49.759 Is it big to small to you? 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:51.680 So, no other god but me. 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:56.479 Why was that important for the Israelites as they left Egypt? 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.479 Who they just drowned in the river Nile. 00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:04.159 They drowned the god, didn't they? 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:05.680 They drowned the Pharaoh. 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:10.479 The Egyptians definitely believed in lots and lots and lots and lots of gods. 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:15.840 And what was happening at the very point that God was giving this commandment to Moses? 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:19.600 They were making a golden calf, yes. 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:25.199 They were actually making a god that they could worship while the mountains were shaking and thunder and lightning was happening. 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:27.360 There's a clue up there somewhere, but anyway. 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.120 Um and obviously a repetition from Jesus. 00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.639 So he was asked about out of ten which are the most important. 00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:42.240 And he replied, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:43.279 Wow. 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:44.800 That's powerful, isn't it? 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:45.759 So everything. 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:47.040 Everything. 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:52.480 Were there any gods around when Jesus was walking in Israel? 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:55.519 So run the colonization, weren't they? 00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:04.240 Romans loved a god or two, or three, or four, or a little niche in the corner over there of a godnet, a little niche in the corner over there of a godnet, but surrounded. 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:05.839 And obviously it wasn't just that, other people. 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.480 Palestine also had their gods, they they worship gods and things like that. 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:21.120 So I think this is just a reference to the fact that God is a jealous god, not jealous as in a nasty, evil green stripe running down the back. 00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:28.319 A jealous god in terms of how you would worship one God and only one God and have no other gods but him. 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.040 Okay, now, yeah. 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:42.639 So you probably recognise our scholars in the room have recognised that Lord has got the word Adonai after him, and God has got the Elohim after him. 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.839 So these are words that we have to learn as scholars. 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:52.000 So, how many times do we think Elohim is in the Bible? 00:05:52.480 --> 00:06:04.399 Well, it's the word for God, so it's two and a half thousand times it occurs in the Bible, God is written as Elohim, and Adonite is written 439 times as Lord. 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:16.319 And obviously, what we don't understand because of our use of pronouns and language is that these are both plural forms of God, plurality, lord, plurality. 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.240 Is that correct, our psychology? 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:33.199 And what's really important, and I think we've we've definitely spoken about it, is that the Trinity, the Godhead, was there at the beginning. 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:34.959 It's quite important, isn't it? 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:42.319 So uh we're looking at creation, so I've taken the first book of the Bible, Genesis chapter 1, 1 and 2. 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.279 So I think most of you are very familiar with that. 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:54.000 Um the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered, deep waters, and the spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:58.319 So right at the very, very beginning, first verse, it says the Spirit of God was there. 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:07.040 And then in Genesis 1, chapter 26, it said, Let's make human beings in our image, our plural, to be like us. 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:18.319 And in John's Gospel, it explains it very, very clearly that Jesus was there as well at the beginning of time, at creation. 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:22.160 Not only was he there at creation, but Jesus was the creator. 00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.920 We're gonna hear a bit more about creation, aren't we, from Stephen a few weeks back. 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:27.920 So I don't want to steal much more. 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:33.600 But it says God created everything through Jesus, and nothing was created except through him. 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:43.600 And if you really want it clear, so the word, which he's talked about in one and three, became human and made his home for 30-ish years amongst us. 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.879 So the Trinity was right there at the very, very beginning of time. 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:56.480 So thinking about the Alpha and the Omega and the beginning and the end, they've been doing Revelation. 00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.519 Oh, those have been doing Revelation and preaching Revelation. 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:01.439 So you haven't got to chapter 22 yet. 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:16.560 But then it's really important, isn't it, to understand that in the very last book of the Bible, Revelation 22, the Holy Spirit is there in heaven. 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.720 Not only in there in heaven, but with us as the church, the bride, saying come. 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:27.920 So still at that point, the last chapter of the Bible, it says, anyone can come, still, come, come. 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:29.600 If you're thirsty, come. 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:35.200 Jesus will still give you that drink, still give you that living water. 00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.039 So that's really clear, then, isn't it? 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:42.559 So the Trinity's there at the beginning, the Trinity is there at the very end. 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.679 So, how about in Jesus' life? 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:55.679 So, so we have the Gospel account of Jesus' baptism. 00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:01.759 Really important, mentioned in all four Gospels, that makes it kind of important. 00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:07.360 Um, so if you see there in Matthew, I've just chose Matthew, first book of the Gospels. 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:16.559 So after his baptism, Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, settling upon him. 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:23.519 And a voice from heaven said, This is my dearly loved son who brings me great joy. 00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:31.919 So in that very moment, we saw all three persons of Godhead together in one place. 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.919 As already said, it's mentioned in all four Gospels, which makes it important. 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:46.879 It's also really important that this is at the very, very beginning of Jesus' ministry. 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:53.279 So that demonstration of the Trinity is actually there when Jesus actually starts. 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.480 Um anyone know what he goes to do straight after his baptism? 00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:58.320 What happens straight after his baptism? 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.759 He goes into the desert for 40 days and is tempted. 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:13.360 And I put here about in Mark, it uses slightly different language. 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.159 So it doesn't say heavens open. 00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:19.679 The wording is that heavens are actually torn apart. 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:33.120 So if you imagine the edges of heaven being like a sheet that's been absolutely ripped apart, it's never to be repaired, it's never to be put back together, it's actually open over Jesus' life all the time. 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:40.559 And we see the Holy Spirit flowing from heaven to earth to bless and anoint Jesus in the work he was about to do. 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:44.159 God's voice. 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:50.159 So Malachi was the last book of the Old Testament. 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:56.399 It was written about 400 years before Jesus' life. 00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:58.320 God had been silent. 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:02.159 It took about 400 years of silence. 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.200 The voice of God hadn't been heard for 400 years. 00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:15.919 It brings me great joy. 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.440 I delight in him, whatever version it is of your family. 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:27.440 So we have the Trinity at that very, very point where Jesus starts his ministry with your demonstration. 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:35.360 So I had a practical demonstration. 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:44.240 And I apologise for anyone seen this practical demonstration before. 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.399 Chemists and probably others need in mind now like this in the water. 00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:58.000 Water. 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.200 So how many forms of water are there? 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:02.720 Three. 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.159 Chapter 1, verse 1, we've seen the water covering the earth. 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:57.919 So here's an example of a form of water known as ice. 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.519 And in Psalm 46, verse 1, which I'm guessing, you're all very, very familiar with. 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:06.399 It says God is our refuge. 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:09.120 God is our I'll leave that on my phone. 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:17.120 God is our refuge in strength, always ready to help us in times of trouble. 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:22.000 And you're looking at those images and you're thinking, okay, so I can kind of understand where Andy's going with this. 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:24.639 Igloos, igloos, inuits. 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:33.679 So today apparently the older Inuits do still go out, and if they get into trouble and they're out hunting and they need shelter, they can throw up an igloo. 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:40.720 But they can quickly build a place of refuge and a place where they can be protected. 00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:43.360 How about this one here? 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:44.799 Does anyone know what that is? 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:50.320 It's a glaciated ice. 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:55.200 Incredible how smooth the sides of that valley have been made. 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.399 See, ice has pushed through. 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:02.320 Almost infinitesimal speed, from what we believe. 00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:10.080 We know glasses are now going back the other way, but basically that would have some point had rocks and all sorts of things sticking out into it. 00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:19.279 Literally, the ice has just pushed straight through and out, pushed all the topsoil out and made all these fertile lands beyond the mountains. 00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:20.960 That's why I learned geography. 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.159 So that's our first form. 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.480 Um I think you probably can guess not beer. 00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:34.960 So second form. 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:38.799 This is interesting. 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:41.840 How many run the tap before you pour drink water?

00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:57.039 It should be refreshable. 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:10.559 And you've we've heard this so much already in works with uh I might think oh Andy, you've just stolen this from what we've been hearing. 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:15.519 So streams of living water. 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:36.240 So I'm sure some of you have heard the prophecy that we've had about streams of living water drying or watering a parched desert land, and that we then see amazing beautiful wildflowers, and then trees was was mentioned to. 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:50.799 On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, anyone who is thirsty may come to me. 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:54.639 Anyone who believes in me may come and drink. 00:15:55.360 --> 00:16:00.799 And the scriptures declare rivers of living water will flow from his heart. 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:11.039 Ooh, final one. 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:12.879 Yeah, final one, final, final one. 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:13.759 Final one, right. 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:15.440 Trixie, Trixie. 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.960 Um Missbent Youth. 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:24.799 Steam engine. 00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:26.320 Very apt today, is that?

00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:45.600 Yeah, you always think, where's he going with this? 00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:46.559 I fly with this. 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:47.840 Let's put the slide up. 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.039 So steam. 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:53.120 Amazing. 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:54.879 Absolutely amazing steam. 00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:00.960 But obviously, in terms of the Trinity, we've been thinking about the power of the Holy Spirit. 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:12.079 You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. 00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:17.680 You will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere. 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.440 Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria. 00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:23.039 It works with. 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.839 And and not always a great biology. 00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:32.559 And to the ends of the earth. 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:35.839 So George Stevenson. 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:38.960 He ran a competition. 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:44.640 I don't know if he was an engineer or whatever it was, but he he came up with the rocket, the first thing the train ran in Merseyside. 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.200 He then worked in Crich, whether we joke. 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:48.880 With him in Crich, yeah. 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:58.319 George Stevenson had a house and lived in Crich and set up a company there because he was trying to work out how to get stuff from the top of the hill down to the canal at the bottom of the hill. 00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:00.880 And obviously he was still mucking around with steam. 00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:06.559 The flying Scotsman set a world record in 1934, 100 mile an hour. 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.440 But then I reflected and I thought, hang on, even Crich. 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:13.039 We're in a very old mill. 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:16.720 There's mills scattered all through the Derwent Valley, isn't there? 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:25.119 The UNESCO World Heritage Site has said this is a particular place that should be kept because of its historical significance. 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:32.880 And some people say the Derwent Valley was part of the start of the beginning of the whatever. 00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:34.720 We had a long chat about that, didn't we? 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:37.039 The Industrial Revolution. 00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:46.559 And I thought about it and I thought, well, actually, in the Industrial Revolution, most of what was run, this was a water mill, wasn't it? 00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.400 It was water that ran here. 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.240 And obviously most of the mills along the day would use the water. 00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:54.720 But we do see the steam coming in later on. 00:18:54.880 --> 00:19:02.079 So if you ever want to go to the Cromford Mill, you can see where the steam was actually being used at blood and water up. 00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:04.079 So steam then came in. 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:07.519 There's an interest in water first and then steam. 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:10.240 And we're praying for revival, aren't we? 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:11.839 We're praying for revival. 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:13.279 And what is revival? 00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:15.920 It means that people's hearts are turned around. 00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:17.359 They're going that way. 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:21.839 Back to Jesus to come that way. 00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:34.640 What relevance is that to us here? 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:39.920 So I'll let you have a look at these pictures for a few minutes. 00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:52.480 Does anyone know this one here? 00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:59.359 So yeah, it's a cathedral one. 00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:01.039 It's Western Track. 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:06.240 The middle one? 00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:21.599 Um it could really be anything almost because essentially what I looked for was um churches that were taking place either in coffee shops or in uh pubs. 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:24.559 Or it could be a shopping centre. 00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:26.720 It's next to a church. 00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:30.880 Yeah, well, yeah, yeah. 00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:32.480 And the final one. 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.079 So what do you think the final one is? 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.400 Because again, there were no photographs at the marketplace in Jerusalem at time of Pentecost. 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:39.200 Showing that, isn't it? 00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:40.160 I'd love a photograph of that. 00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:41.440 I think it'd be stunning. 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:42.480 Yeah? 00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:46.400 Well, there wasn't a photograph, so what do we think the final one is? 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:49.680 Because again, it's a very bad approximation of what I had in my mind. 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:54.640 It's actually a flash mob in a park in the open air. 00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:06.559 And I think in my mind when I was looking for the image was there's people having a picnic and sitting around during the sunshine, and all of a sudden people are up and filled with the Holy Spirit, and then some people respond and some people don't respond, and some people join in and don't respond. 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:11.440 I don't know if that's what it was like in the marketplace in Jerusalem. 00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:16.960 So here I thought about this. 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:18.160 I thought that's my tradition. 00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:20.240 Quiet boy from seven called Phil. 00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:22.799 Too many Andrews fairly probably Phil in the quiet. 00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.240 So paint scene, sang in cathedrals. 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:29.200 Do you anyone know what the structure here is called? 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:31.519 It's a screen, and behind it's called the sanctuary. 00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:36.640 I thought we did away with sanctuaries when the veil was tall in half. 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:43.119 But here's a cathedral with a sanctuary with only certain individuals can pass through. 00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:46.240 And Jesus would be here, wouldn't he? 00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:47.519 I think Jesus would be here. 00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:54.400 So he'd be there in pubs, he'd be there in coffee shops, he'd be there in shopping centres. 00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:59.839 And he'd be there with the homeless, he'd be there with the added. 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:03.519 He could probably be there with the refugees. 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:11.359 Because we know from the time that he was there, he spent time as phrase from the Pharisees, he spent time with the sinners. 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:14.720 So that's where we believe that Jesus would be. 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:27.680 Then the final one: exuberance, excitement, noise, whatever your understanding of what a spirit-filled church, probably not contained by building, which is why I kind of went for a part. 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:32.079 So what kind of church are we? 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.880 What kind of church are we aiming to be? 00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:39.839 Secretary. 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:41.200 Yeah. 00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:46.640 All of them. 00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:47.359 Thank you. 00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:48.000 All of them. 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:49.759 All of them. 00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:51.279 Balance in all things. 00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:55.279 They have balance. 00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:55.839 Balance. 00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:56.720 Equality. 00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:57.839 Cross them. 00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.200 So why? 00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:03.359 Because we look at the character of God, don't we? 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:04.880 We look at the character of God. 00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:06.480 That's just a few. 00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:09.839 Don't forget and pick up the article and miss that one out. 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:15.599 So we all agree that God the Father is loving. 00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:17.759 We'd all agree Jesus is loving. 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:19.920 We'd all agree the Holy Spirit is loving. 00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:25.920 We'd all agree that God Almighty in heaven is holy. 00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:30.880 We'd all agree that Jesus was holy, set apart, without sin. 00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:33.759 Holy Spirit kind of gives a look at the spirit. 00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:41.519 So all of these characters apply to all of the Godhead. 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.640 God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. 00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:48.640 And there's other ones on there that we probably want to get out from. 00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:50.160 Omnipotent. 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:52.160 All powerful. 00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:54.160 Omniscient. 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:56.000 All knowing. 00:23:58.079 --> 00:23:59.920 Omnipresent. 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:01.839 God is with us now. 00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:05.440 Not only here, but Matlock. 00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:06.960 In Buckston. 00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:09.279 Everywhere. 00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:10.160 Amazing. 00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:11.839 I can't get my head around that. 00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:18.319 And when I took on this topic of speaking about the Trinity, I couldn't get my head around that, so I've decided just not even to put it on the slide. 00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:25.200 It's just some omnis, there's some omnis that God and they're all at once as well. 00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:29.359 You know, this isn't as I've shown three different forms. 00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:31.519 They're all present at the same time. 00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:36.559 They've shown I have no information. 00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:40.160 I have a book recommendation. 00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:45.759 You've seen this book before. 00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:48.079 This is Neil's second favourite book. 00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:49.279 I'm still going to do it live. 00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:53.920 Oh, it's very cool. 00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:58.960 So this is Neil's second favourite book. 00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:01.519 As we all know, its first favourite book is the Bible. 00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:05.119 His third favourite book, as we all know from last week, is Prime Prejudice. 00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:12.799 So I'm just going to read to finish with from day 32. 00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:17.279 I hope you all like this set. 00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.000 Some of you, as you said, you may be familiar with this. 00:25:20.400 --> 00:25:23.359 A couple of 365 passages in here. 00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:27.599 There's definitely two in here that refer to the Trinity, but this is wonderful. 00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:29.599 I'll just read it out to you. 00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:33.039 So what is the number of love? 00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:39.759 How many do you need in order to have love? 00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:43.200 A subject, I said. 00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:48.079 The subject is the I, he replied. 00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:49.680 But what else? 00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:52.640 An object, he said. 00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:55.839 The object is you. 00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:00.240 And what else? 00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:01.359 A verb. 00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:03.839 Love, he said. 00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:06.880 Put it together, and what does it become? 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:10.720 It becomes I love you. 00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:14.640 The most basic expression of love. 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:16.720 And how many words were needed? 00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:17.680 Three. 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:21.680 And yet at the same time, love is one. 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:25.920 So love is one and love is three. 00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:30.240 It is one and three at the same time. 00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:32.720 Love is triune. 00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:36.640 In the scriptures, it is written that God is love. 00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:40.079 If God is love, then God is triune as well. 00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:43.440 One and three, all at the same time. 00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:45.680 Who is the source of love? 00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.200 The I, the Father, the source of all love. 00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:51.279 Who is the object of his love? 00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:56.319 The you, the Son, the Messiah, who is called in Scripture the beloved. 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:06.559 And the love that emanates from the Father to the Son, the Spirit, the lover, the beloved, and the love itself. 00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:09.119 The tri-unity of love. 00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:13.599 Both three and one at the same time. 00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:16.720 The tri-unity of God. 00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:19.519 Yes, said the teacher. 00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:28.400 As incomprehensible and yet as simple as I love.
