What are the essential beliefs of Christianity? Hundreds of years ago, Christians developed a set of simple sayings to help people know what it truly means to be a Christian called the “Apostles’ Creed.” In this sermon, we start our new series as we look at these simple sayings, beginning with the importance of knowing God as our Father. Key Verses: Luke 10:21-24

Key Verses: Luke 24:35-49

As Jesus shares this last supper with his disciples, he begins to speak of the lives they are now called to live. A central necessity of this new life, he says, is to remain in Him. Jesus describes himself as the true vine, his Father as the gardener, and we as the branches. If we remain connected to him, rooted in his life and love, we will flourish and bear lasting fruit in this new way of living. Key Verses: John 15:1-11

Jesus reminds us in His third I AM statement that He is our protection. He is the Gate for our souls to be free and safe with Him for all eternity. He also reminds us that some seek to remove us from the Gate of His protection. Why? What do we do to stay in the security and safety of the Lord? As we look at John 10:1-10, we see how Jesus directs us towards Him and away from the destruction of the enemy. Key Verses: John 10:1-10

info_outlineIn Romans, Paul has been building a case for real lasting life change to happen for the followers of Jesus. He is proclaiming the Good News of a free mercy offered through Jesus that can lead to renewal on this earth and an eternity spent with Him. Yet, within this message of hope there is also a warning to not trust in our own abilities to keep doing good. We are split creatures, full of desires to do good and desires to do evil. Jesus is then the only answer in this world and it is the promise of His indwelling Spirit that gives us hope.
Key Verses: Romans 7:14-25
