The Apostles’ Creed Adult Elective
Whyte Ridge Baptist will be offering an Adult Elective on the Apostles’ Creed in April and May of this year.
The Apostles’ Creed has been used throughout history as a helpful summary of what all true Christians believe about God – the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. In this four week study, we will explore the meaning and biblical basis of each statement of the Creed. We will seek to discover the practical value of the Creed for worship, prayer and evangelism. Each Sunday morning there will be a 30 minute message, followed by a time of guided group discussion. Weekly handouts and daily Scripture readings, with questions for personal application, will also be offered to help us dig more deeply into the spiritual riches of the 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,
- born of the Virgin Mary,
- 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,
- he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
- and 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.
*The word “catholic” refers to the universal church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
