 I hope you’re ready today for a doozy!  There is a skyscraper in Chicago known as Willis Tower. And one of the features of the tower is a glass sightseeing box extending from the 103rd floor. It attracts 1.5 million visitors each year.  Pretty trippy, if you ask me.

BUT, what’s even scarier is that back in 2019, the protective layer covering the glass floor of the Skydeck shattered into millions of pieces. No one knows really why - but it just shattered. Apparently it happened when a woman with her two kids were standing there inside the extended box.

Needless to say, people are afraid to go out on the ledge anymore! 

So I mentioned last week that we would look at the doctrine of the Trinity. And like the Skydeck, so many people are afraid to tackle the concept of the Trinity. We think it’s difficult, if not impossible, to understand - and even harder to explain! So people tend to stay safe, far away from the ledge.

On top of that, you have both certain denominations within Christianity, as well as some Christian-LIKE cults who have tried to shatter this doctrine with frontal attacks on the Trinity.

It’s my hope when we’re finished, each of us will grow in our delight of the triune God and our faith will be fortified. AND, if you are good at taking notes, I hope you’ll pick up some good points to use when someone asks you WHY you (and your church) believe in the Trinity.
