Perfect Community: Our Example

On Sunday we explored the nature of the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). As we looked into the interconnectedness of the three members we saw that material examples of the Trinity like an egg (shell, yoke & white) or a triangle or water (in the forms of ice, liquid and steam) while helpful were insufficient because they didn;t help us with the aspect of fellowship.

For the relational aspect of the Trinity we dug into Eastern Christian thought. I held up my Russian wedding ring and we saw how the three rings were interconnected, unseperably. That is our example of what we need to become if we are going to follow Christ and be his example to the watching and waiting world. Six things stood out to me about the Trinity that we should 'live by or die by' in our church:

1. Fellowship/Relationship
2. Generosity of heart
3. Joy in Service
4. Mission orientation
5. Trust and Confidence in each member
6. Unity in Diversity

Indeed an exciting and great vision for us as we live into the Biblical narrative as God's People in Camberwell.
