Working through John 1:1-18, this message teaches the doctrine of the Holy Trinity by showing how the Word – who “was with God, and was God” from the very beginning – became flesh and dwelt among us, revealing the Father through the eternal Son. The prologue’s language about the Word’s deity and distinct personhood grounds the church’s confession that God is one being in three persons.
The sermon then draws the congregation from doctrine into worship, moving into a season of remembering the blood of Christ and the blessings that flow from a Triune God who saves. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are each named for who they are and what they do, so the congregation can worship the one true God rightly.
