This Week's Sermon

Date of Sermon:

May 31, 2026

9AM (Modern) & 11AM (Traditional)

High and Holy: Trinity

2 Corinthians 13:11–13

Rev. Barrett Owen

The Trinity tells us something stunning: at the center of reality is not solitude, but love. Before creation, there was communion. Before mission, there was relationship. God is not lonely power, but self-giving love bound together in relationship.
