We conclude our series on the APOSTLES’ CREED by looking at the line — "From there he will come to judge the living and the dead”. The topic of End Times is a huge one, but the focus of the Apostles’ Creed is the Judgment to come.
We continue through the APOSTLES’ CREED by studying the line, "He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.” There is more than meets the eye in this line as we see the greatness of our Lord.
We continue our series on the Apostle’s Creed by looking at the lines “ . . . he descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead.” These words declare the greatest victory of Christ — over sin and death. It is certainly the apex of the creed and of world history.
This Good Friday service we continue our study of the Apostle’s Creed by looking at the lines, "suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried."
We start our study of the Apostles’ Creed and work through the first six lines. For many, this will be a good reminder. For others, it may be your first study of a creed that aligns us theologically. In this series, we will do just half of the creed and we will complete it with another five-part study this summer. This week, our focus is God the Father and the early life of Jesus. This will help us all to affirm and confirm our basic theology.
