For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
Isaiah 55:8 ESV
Giving up my little perspective
Here’s how you can participate:
- Come celebrate Pastor Black’s 90th birthday Sunday in the Gathering Space during the Discipleship Hour
- Plan to participate in the special offering benefiting our sack lunch ministry during each service this Sunday
- Drop by the Gym anytime on Sunday morning, grab a sharpie, and personalize the back of one of the new tiles that will be placed in the Sanctuary during our Sanctuary renovation. You can sign the tile with your family’s names, and/or quote your favorite Scripture reference. Tiles will be available in the Gym for personalization until 12:30 pm on Sunday
- Participate in the silent auction for four vintage pews that are in the Gathering Space. The auction will conclude Sunday, February 5th
- Drop by the Youth Stock Sale booth in the Foyer to check out what’s going on in our student programs
Here’s some info you’ll want to know-
- The Concordia-Texas University choir and instrumentalists will be participating in our worship during the Traditional service on February 5th
- Mark your calendars for a big day on February 12th: the Magnify Capital Campaign team will be hosting a celebration of the start of construction in the Sanctuary with breakfast tacos in the Gathering Space!
- The renovation of the Foyer restrooms is progressing nicely, so you may utilize the restrooms on the second floor next to the Chapel, or those adjacent to the LINC entrance on the west side of the campus. When you visit the Gym to personalize a tile, you’ll notice construction material is growing; lights, tiles, drywall and insulation are all waiting for the renovation to begin in the Sanctuary on February 6th!

Dear Members and Friends of Trinity Downtown:
I must confess that I don’t understand why God created the universe the way that He did. I know that creation was (and is) tainted by the effect of the Fall, but…roaches and mosquitoes? Cancer? Really? Their purpose alludes me. And why is faith required to understand and build a relationship with our Creator? Wouldn’t it be easier if He just revealed Himself to us in more undeniable ways?
Perhaps you have been able to reconcile these questions in your mind. I haven’t.
On the other hand, if we could really explain everything about God, if there were no mysteries about why and how He runs the universe, what would that tell us? I’m afraid it would tell us that any “god” that fits perfectly in a box constructed by humans would not be big enough to run the universe. Our questions and mysteries simply tell us that the real God is much, much bigger and more complex that we could possibly understand. Picture yourself trying to teach quantum mechanics to your dog!
Scripture is not silent on this issue. From Job to Isaiah to 1st Corinthians, God reminds us that we are NOT in charge and simply don’t have the capacity to understand. Yet, He loves us still.
This Sunday at Trinity Downtown, we’ll be exploring these mysteries together, and finding rest in knowing that a robust faith in God does not require us to have all the answers. Come worship Jesus, our Light, this weekend, and see how you can live a life of significance, filled with meaning. Discover how following Jesus can help you and your family navigate around the minefields of life. I promise you it will make a tremendous difference in your life.
