God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Greg Kozak presents an attempt to show how our experiences provide the foundation for our faith, and how experience led to our modern day understanding of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The talk includes a discussion around the experience of the Hebrew people and how it impacted their understanding of God over the 2000 years from Abraham to Jesus; a reflection on the experience of Peter and the apostles with regards to Jesus and the Holy Spirit; an explanation of the Trinity; and some perspectives on how Jesus "saves" us.
