Why this matters in the 901: sickness, pain, and anxiety about our bodies hit every hom

Whether you've lost a spouse, a parent, a child, a dear friend, or anyone who held a piece of your heart, grief during winter can feel uniquely isolating. If that's where you are right now, please hear this: You are not forgotten. You are not alone. And you are deeply, endlessly loved by God. At Boundless Online Church

The Trinity is the Christian belief that there is only one God, who exists eternally in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. While the word "Trinity" isn't found in the Bible, the concept is woven throughout Scripture. It describes a God who is perfectly united in essence but three in person: a beautiful mystery of infinite love and divine community.
