The Holy Spirit, The Trinity and The Church | Rev. Adam Hamilton | Church of the Resurrection

About this sermon

In this powerful conclusion to our two-part series on the Nicene Creed, Pastor Adam Hamilton unpacks the deep truths behind one of Christianity’s most historic and unifying statements of faith. He walks us through how the Creed, formed 1700 years ago through the struggle of theological conflict, continues to shape the Church today—affirming who God is: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Pastor Adam also brings clarity to the role of the Holy Spirit as “Lord, the Giver of Life,” showing how conflict and disagreement within the Church didn’t break it—but helped it grow. Through stories, scripture, and honest reflection, we’re reminded that God speaks, leads, and transforms us through the Spirit’s quiet guidance—if we’re paying attention. This sermon will challenge you to see the Holy Spirit not as a distant idea, but as an active, present guide in your daily life. You’ll walk away understanding how God’s power dwells in you, how the Church is God's instrument in the world, and how the mystery of the Trinity invites us into deeper trust—even when we don’t fully understand. If you've ever felt curious about the roots of faith, the purpose of the Church, or the role of the Holy Spirit in real life, this message is for you. Watch now—and let it open your heart to a deeper relationship with the God who lives, speaks, and works through us today.
