In this episode of Help Me Teach the Bible, Scott Swain (president and professor at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando) talks about what he calls the most important, as well as the most dangerous, doctrine—the Trinity. While suggesting his most important contribution to the conversation is his recommendation of the Lutheran Satire video on various trinitarian heresies, he also offers insights on Christophanies, the Holy Spirit’s presence in the Old Testament era, and what it means to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Free eBook by Tim Keller: ‘The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness’
Imagine a life where you don’t feel inadequate, easily offended, desperate to prove yourself, or endlessly preoccupied with how you look to others. Imagine relishing, not resenting, the success of others. Living this way isn’t far-fetched. It’s actually guaranteed to believers, as they learn to receive God’s approval, rather than striving to earn it.
In Tim Keller’s short ebook, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness: The Path To True Christian Joy, he explains how to overcome the toxic tendencies of our age一not by diluting biblical truth or denying our differences一but by rooting our identity in Christ.
TGC is offering this Keller resource for free, so you can discover the “blessed rest” that only self-forgetfulness brings.
