2 Corinthians 13:11-14, Genesis 1:1-2, 4
Sermon: "God in Three Persons"

On this Trinity Sunday, Rev. Ron McDougald delivers a powerful and practical message about the Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — and our calling to obey the Great Commission. Drawing from Matthew 28:19-20 and Genesis 1, Pastor Ron challenges us to move beyond excuses and become faithful **disciple-makers**.

Sermon Highlights:

  • Why many churches (and Christians) struggle to make disciples — and the common excuses we use
  • The life-changing story of Manny, a former prisoner who took the Great Commission so seriously that he shared the Gospel through a prison commode pipe for four years
  • The promise of Christ's constant presence when we obey: "Lo, I am with you always"
  • The call to be Bible-believing, disciple-making, Spirit-filled Christians
  • Encouragement for Mount Pleasant Church as they prepare for Vacation Bible School

This is a humorous, honest, and deeply convicting message about obedience, the Trinity, and the mission of the Church. Whether you've been a Christian for decades or are exploring faith, this sermon will challenge and inspire you to stop making excuses and start making disciples.

Scripture Readings:

  • 2 Corinthians 13:11-14
  • Genesis 1:1-2, 4

Key Quote:
"Jesus never said, 'I'm going to make you do it.' He said, 'I'm going to tell you what I want you to do... and I hope you'll do it.'"
