One thing have I desired of the Lord... that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life...Psalm 27:4
Talking about the Holy Trinity doesn't sound too exciting...but this doctrine has been a critical teaching in the church practically from the beginning. Pastor Russ shares insights from the Nicodemus story in John 3 to highlight each 'person' of the Trinity.

It’s Pentecost celebrating the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples of Jesus, transforming them into bold apostles proclaiming the love of God for all. Pastor Russ’ message is “Many Languages…One Mission” as we reclaim our Pentecost purpose.

After Jesus shares his last meal with his disciples, he prays to God. An amazing part of the prayer is that he thanks God for giving the disciples to him. They were a gift, a gift to Jesus. It is true that our companionship with Jesus is also a gift to him!

On the night before his death, as Jesus teaches his disciples to "love one another, as I have loved you," he goes on to say: "I call you friends." Together, these two teachings suggest a foundation for Christian ethics not grounded in fear of punishment or following rules, but in the ways of gratitude and friendship.
