These Truths We Hold (THIS GREAT GOSPEL)
Manage episode 360312057 series 2868438
As we look at the world around us, it is important to continually come back to the main tenets and non-negotiables of our faith. We have a legacy of faith going back generations upon generations; all the way to the early church and founding fathers (apostles) who spread the name of Christ following His ascension. In this episode we look at the need to know the truth, be grounded in it, and to share it with others. In this, our testimony plays a big role.
In this episode, Derek shares the Apostles Creed which is shared here for further reflection:
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again 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.
*meaning the universal Christian church—all believers in Jesus Christ
