A shed in Yatala in SE Queensland seems like an unlikely place from which greatness can grow. And yet it has. 3 women Aussie boxers are now world title contenders. The shed in Yatala and the seed in the Kingdom of Heaven have a lot in common.

There are two different ways of thinking about God (primarily). One of them is 100% wrong. That’s the bad news. But the good news is that the other is 100% correct. Understand these two different ways and you have the key to understanding God, the great news of Jesus and the Bible.

Is the Trinity a Biblical truth? Yes it is! It isn’t hard to see the Trinity is in the Bible. You’re right the word Trinity never appears in the New or Old Testament of the Bible. But verses that show there is one God and three persons are scattered across the New Testament.

In Isaiah we discover a God who saves by grace - looking forward to Jesus. Here is the gospel in Isaiah.
Worried God won’t hear your prayer? If that’s you, here’s a prayer for you.
