The Sunday gospel lectionary reading for Trinity Sunday in Year A is Matthew 28.16–20, the so-called Great Commission which concludes the gospel. It has been picked for this week because it contains the triadic/Trinitarian formula 'baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.'
Apart from the fascinating details of this passage, it also raises the question: Should we be preaching on the Trinity on Trinity Sunday? Or is there a better approach?
Join James and Ian as they work through the passage—and also address the question of what we should be preaching on.
