Something about me

The Apostles creedI believe in God, the Father Almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth.And 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 into hell.On the third day He rose again from the dead.

He ascended into heavenand sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.

From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit,the holy Christian Church,the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen

The Bible – the word of God

2 Tim 3:16

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in

righteousness.

Jesus focused

• Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,• 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing

to be grasped,• 7 but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the

likeness of men.• 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to

the point of death, even death on a cross.• 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is

above every name,• 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth

and under the earth,• 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the

Father.

Three important places

Genesis chapter 1 & 2

We belive in God – our Father and Creator

The Holy Spirit

1 Corinthians chapter 12. ”Parts in the body of Christ”

Eph 3: 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God

The Great Comission - Math. 28:18-20, Acts 1:8

The return of Jesus Christ

12 Peter 3:13 But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

• Is there anything happening in your context (denomination, otherdenominations, development in the country or….) that makes youworried that important aspect of he Gospel can be lost?
