On this date, June 19, 325, The
original Nicene Creed is adopted at the First Council of Nicaea. To remember this
event in church history, I will present a sermon by Professor Alister McGrath
on the Trinity.

That Jesus died is history; that Jesus died for
the forgiveness of our sins is the Gospel. – Alister McGrath

Professor Alister McGrath - On The Trinity
Streamed live on Jun 26,
2018
Many
Christians, as well as many outside the church, find the doctrine of the
trinity baffling. In this lecture, Professor Alister McGrath will open up this
area of Christian doctrine, exploring why Christians have found this way of
thinking about God to be both helpful and important. Drawing on writers such as
C.S Lewis and Dorothy L. Sayers, McGrath will develop approaches to the Trinity
that are easy to grasp and help us understand exactly why the Christian Church
has found the doctrine of the Trinity so rich and rewarding.
This
is the first of five lectures being delivered by Professor Alister McGrath at
Winchester Cathedral. Tickets for the following talks are now available from
the Cathedral website:
Tuesday
2 October, 7.00pm - 'Science, Faith and God: Richard Dawkins vs. C. S. Lewis on
the Meaning of Life'
Monday
15 October, 7.00pm - 'The Incarnation: Unfolding the Significance of Christ'

Within
each of us exists the image of God, however disfigured and corrupted by sin it
may presently be. God is able to recover this image through grace as we are
conformed to Christ. Just as the figure of David lay hidden within the marble,
discernible only to the eye of its creator, so the image of God (however
tarnished by sin) lies within us, see and known by God Himself. Yet God loves
us while we are still sinners. He doesn't have to wait until we stop sinning.
Acceptance of His love is a major step along the road that leads to our liberation
from the tyranny of sin. - Alister McGrath
