MY NEW BOOK TITLED:
The Wisdom of the Cross and the Power of the Spirit
in the Corinthian Church:
Grounding Pneumatic Experiences
in the Theology of the Cross
It's a book that proclaims the Power--the Holy Spirit, who builds up the church and is also my theology of ministry for over 30 years as a pastor! I answer common questions brought to the pastor like, "Why isn't everyone healed?" and
"Aren't you giving people false hope by praying this way?"
For ministers as well as biblical scholars and professors.

 Presenting my paper at the
Stone-Campbell Journal Conference
Welcome! A warm word of welcome to this website! I trust you will not only come to know me better, but will find the visit enriching and helpful for yourself. The goal in my teaching ministry and as a pastor-scholar is that the congregation and students would study the Bible in both a devotional and scholarly manner. In addition, I agree with Alexander Campbell, the founder of the movement of churches which I serve as a pastor, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), as he wrote, "I have no idea of adding to the catalogue of new sects. I labor to see sectarianism abolished and all Christians of every name united upon the one foundation upon which the apostolic church was founded." Please feel free to visit our church web page Senior Pastor trinitychurchlb.net Trinity United Christian Church the Bible School where I am Professor of the New Testament bli4u.org Biblical Life Institute Watch my video below this WELCOME about my research and work in the New Testament. May the Lord bless you! Cletus Hull P.S. I am available for teaching, preaching, seminars, conferences, and can address anything from essential Bible study methods to studies about Scripture, biblical history and culture. |

Dear Trinity family and friends,
All around you…every day…there are ways you can give...
1. Give Into the Lives of the People Around YouEvery day you have the choice to give, or sow, good things into the lives of those around you. You can sow seeds of “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23). When you give into the lives of those around you, you help them see Jesus.
2. Give Your TimePeople say they are busy. Often giving time can be even more difficult than writing a check, but each time you give—or sow—your time and energy into helping someone else in their times of need, you are giving. Here are a few ways you can give your time:
3. Give Words of EncouragementProverbs 16:24 says, “Kind words are like honey—sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.” The words you speak have the ability to build up or tear down. Today, people need a word of encouragement from God’s people. They need to know how much God cares, and you can be God's voice in their lives.
How can you give a word of encouragement?
· Take out a friend to lunch, and only listen
· Introduce yourself to (and get to know) a visitor at your church
Our new CONNECT CARD helps you
· Call a distant family member
· Send a card, email or text to a church member
Opportunities to give are all around us. Luke 6:38 says, “Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.” As you go through your day, purpose to give to those around you—acts of kindness, your time and words of encouragement. It will cost you nothing more than your attention!
Here's what's happening this month at Trinity...
1. Congregational Meeting After thoughts
2. EPIC Youth Ministry-Monday
3. Trinity Leadership Council Meeting,
Saturday, 9:00am, social room.
4. This week in worship
1. Congregational Meeting After thoughts
After worship on Sunday, two items had people talking....
a. The Security Team-Cheryl Litz is putting together a team to assist us in this vital area of our church life. She is very knowledgeable on this topic and will appreciate if you come and participate with her on this topic in 2020.
b. Givelify the app-several folks are very excited about this opportunity to give to the church offerings. The app will be in use with us, very soon.
see how it works quickly in 30 seconds , watch the video... Givelify
2. EPIC Youth Ministry-Monday
With the calendar year winding down, this Monday is the last EPIC meeting of 2019. Consider joining us for a fun evening of games and reflection of 2019. We will also be talking about what we will look forward to in 2020. There will not be EPIC December 23 or 30.
3. Trinity Leadership Council Meeting, Saturday, 9:00am, social room.
4. This week in worship
As we travel through St. Matthew this advent season, we stop Sunday with St. Matthew 2:1-11-- the event of the wise men meeting Jesus. There are three very different responses to Jesus in this passage of scripture...
1. Herod's
2. the chief priests and teachers of the law
3. the magi
Each Christmas holiday we react in these similar ways. You see, very one of us is confronted with the Christ and we need to make a response.
Will we be like King Herod and reject Jesus?
Will we be like the chief priests and teachers of the law and remain lost in apathy?
Or will we be like the visitors from the East and step out on a journey of faith? A journey that leads to Jesus, the Son of God, our Savior. This journey of faith takes us on a new road takes us toward God’s guidance and direction for our lives. This choice is yours. Let's talk about that thought this Sunday morning.
See you in worship as we focus on Jesus!
