The Trinity Cross

The elegant, geometric design of this sterling silver cross is inspired by the Holy Trinity
and expresses it from every angle. The Trinity Cross symbolizes belief in the love
and compassion of Christ’s atonement and His promise of Eternal Life.
 
 

Good News about the Word



The sharing of scripture is a way to keep the Word alive.  We like to study the Bible, contemplate and share inspirational verses.  We also like to feature churches that spread the Word.  Thank you for visiting.  Please share the Word!

Today's scripture is John 14:1-3

“Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also."

 

"We believe that Jesus came to start a movement that will result in the complete transformation of the world as we know it."   Trinity Church of the Nazarene

Today, thinking about the great Martin Luther King Jr., we look at four verses from Matthew.  How wonderful our world would be if we could all follow the commandment "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."  There would be a lot less stress and no war!

 

Today's scripture is Matthew 22:37-39


And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”


Today we feature Trinity Baptist Church in Los Angeles, California.  The church is holding several special events today to especially celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

It is a primary aim of Trinity Baptist Church to share the Word, as they proclaim on their website, "If you are a seeker, let us share with you what we have found in Him."

Trinity Baptist Church invites you experience the glory of God with them, to praise God with their congregation.

"As you worship with us today, please feel free to praise God and lift your hands to His Word."

 
These are the fellowship tenets of Christian fellowship that the Trinity Bible Church lives by:

 

Church is a Place for Worship – The primary reason we meet together is to focus our attention on God, giving Him our worship and receiving His blessing and inspiration. Each of those occasions is a special time of spiritual refreshment. We hope this is what you experience today, and we certainly hope to see you again very soon.

 

Church is a Place for Service – Just as Jesus Christ came “not to be ministered unto, but to minister,” we accept our responsibility to reach out in service to others. This applies both within the church family and outside our fellowship.

Church is a Place for Learning – To us studying the Bible is vital because it not only instructs us intellectually, but also guides us spiritually. We believe it and accept it as God’s Word to man, a Book that is alive and relevant to life today. Learning its truth is a thrilling adventure.

Church is a Place for Enrichment – For every person at every age level we offer a wealth of opportunities – programs and ministries for children, youth and adults which fill the church calendar. You can be sure that in this kaleidoscope of activities there’s more than one place where you can be personally enriched.

Church is a Place for Friendship – Nothing quite compares to the joy of Christian friendship. That’s why we make it a priority to build lasting bonds between the members of our church family-bond of concern and genuine commitment to one another. Best of all, this circle of care is ever-widening.


If you live in the area or just visiting, be sure to drop into Trinity Baptist Church!

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me."

The first verse we'd like to share is the key to the Christian faith.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."  John 3:16

Today we feature Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Inglewood, California.  Their "Statement of Faith" reflects their understanding of the Word.

"Lutherans believe in the Triune God. God created and loves all of creation — the earth and the seas and all of the world’s inhabitants. We believe that God’s Son, Jesus Christ, transforms lives through his death on the cross and his new life, and we trust that God’s Spirit is active in the world. "

“Behold, I am doing a new thing…”  On October 1, 2017 Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church welcomed a new leader, Pastor James Phillips, who formerly led Our Redeemer Church in Washington, DC.  You can find the Word at this church; worship at the 10:30 am Sunday Service.  Visit their website here.
