THE TRINITY
Our God, the Creator of heaven and earth, is three divine persons in one.
How is that possible, you might ask, and who exactly
are the three persons?
God the Holy Spirit
To explain it further, let's consider a triangle.
The triangle shown here is a shape made of three equal sides.
One shape. Three equal sides.
It is similar with God.
One God. Three divine persons.
Our God is three in one.
Bible verses
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (2 Corinthians 13:14 NLT)
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity.
When you decide to follow Jesus Christ,
the Holy Spirit comes to live in you.
♥ He is a gentle teacher who teaches you right from wrong.
♥ He is a great friend who always tells the truth.
♥ He is a loving comforter who helps you get better when you are sad.
♥ He passionately prays for you.
Bible verses
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is
in you, whom you have received from God?
(1 Corinthians 6:19–20 NIV)
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance
all that I have said to you.” (John 14:26 ESV)
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper,
to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth.” (John 14:16–17 ESV)
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know
what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us
through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the
mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people
in accordance with the will of God.

The powerful words in the Bible are God’s words.
They teach us how to live a life that pleases God.
The Bible also tells of true stories of men, women,
and children who lived before us. Each one of these
stories was written in the Bible so we can learn from them.
Bible verses
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us
what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in
our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us
to do what is right. (2 Timothy 3:16 NLT)

You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, Lord.
You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
(Psalm 139:1–5 NLT)

Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you

GOD LOVES MUSIC
Our God is a happy God. His heart is full of joy
and laughter.
Sing to God. Play your instrument for God. He loves when
you praise him. He created music. You don’t have to sing
perfectly. You don’t even have to play an instrument
perfectly. If you do, that’s great, but if you don’t,
don’t worry.
Dance for God as King David did. You can dance with or
without music. And if you can’t dance, it doesn’t matter
because it’s not a competition, but a love offering to God.
Bible verses
and make music to him. (Psalm 149:3 NIV)
Oh, sing to the Lord a new song!
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, bless His name.
