So during the World Cup Revs (my church) has been focusing on a teaching series about the character of God. As one of the team who gets the chance to speak as part of most series I was very much looking forward to it until I received my talk brief. The title of my Sunday was 4-4-2. I kid you not. Each characteristic of God's we're covering was cleverly related to a football metaphor. Interesting you may think but I am the woman who thought the England manager was called Frances Accapella... What on earth does 4-4-2 mean!? This was going to be humbling.
I'm rubbish at bluffing, I can do it but it would be disingenuous so I decided from early on in my prep that I was gonna have to be up front about my gross lack of knowledge re the beautiful game and just focus on the very interesting topic behind the metaphor... What can the Trinity teach us about being part of the Church community? I love to think about the absolutely mind blowing nature of God. This was a pleasure of a talk to prepare. Sunday I got up and gave my thoughts and conclusions to my Revs family. If you're at all interested you can listen to the talk here. If it sparks any thoughts or ideas about the Trinity for you I'd love to hear them :)
