What Do We Believe?
As we head towards our sermon series “We Still Believe” I’d like you to read and consider the Apostles Creed, copied below.
I grew up in a church that recited this weekly and appreciate the simplicity and clarity.
This brief, yet powerful confession has been used for centuries in the Christian Church.
“THE APOSTLES CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic* church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
*that is, the true Christian church of all times and all places”

“Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. ”
Aren’t you grateful for those followers of Jesus that have gone before us?
