Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

This week-long intensive is designed to equip brand-
new church planters as the local “expert”, able to train

church planters at each event, making for a more
focused, intimate, and ultimately more effective training
experience. Next CPTI: June 4-9, 2013

Regional Church Planter Cohorts
Encourage, equip, and multiply church planters
for a sustaining church planting movement
Creating Regional Cohorts may be the single most impactful new
addition to our church planting efforts here on the East Coast Conference.
These life-giving cohorts are a simple way for church planters – Covenant,
candidates, or simply friends – to support and sustain one another in these
very challenging roles. It’s a powerful time of bonding, equipping,

Assessment Process Seasoned Coaches
Grace-filled, High Standards, Very Thorough Our investment and care doesn’t
stop with Assessment & Training,
An effective assessment process is a key component to our fruitful
but includes ongoing Coaching
church planting approach. A potential candidate spends 6-12 months from seasoned pastors:
going through various assessment tools, site visits, interviews, and
participation in our Cohorts. Together we discern their sense of calling,
capacity to plant, and Covenant compatibility - all are required.
If progress continues, the Candidate and spouse (if married) are
invited to an official Covenant Assessment Center. Preparation and
participation involves significant personality testing, references, 360
evaluations, interviews, personal presentations, group interactions, and Newest Coach: Larry Kim
sessions with a trained Christian Counselor. We do this because we take coaches our newest Boston area
planter, T.C. Moore (New City)
seriously our stewardship of the resources and people involved in
reaching many for Christ through church planting. Please pray for:
Upcoming Assessment Centers
May 15-18 Assessment Center (hosted at Trinity Manchester, CT):
For the ECConf, we’ve invited a very diverse group of six
candidate couples, our largest single group yet. Potential areas
include Baltimore, Virginia, NJ, NY, and Greater Boston. They’ll join Josh Throneburg coaches two of
