Abiding in the Indwelling Trinity

Christianity was meant by Jesus to be a living experience of being in the Trinitarian community – of being loved infinitely by the Father, in his Son Jesus Christ, through his Holy Spirit.

The power of the cross

There is power in the cross of Christ that, sad to say, many Christians don’t experience. Now you can learn to see Jesus' suffering and death not as some spectacle or theatrical production, but as a blueprint for how to live your life.
