THE APOSTLES’ CREED: Timeless Truth for a Chaotic World | Forgiveness of Sins, Resurrection of the Body, Life Everlasting | August 18, 2024

Sermon Description:

Most stories are linear.  Beginning.  Middle.  End.  The opening pages of the Bible tell us a linear story - humans were meant to live with God, they rebelled and sinned - and then Death entered and humans lost everything.  And if it weren’t for God, this is where the human story would end.  Humanity’s biggest need is a solution to the problem of sin, destruction, and death, which leads us back to the end of the Apostle’s Creed, which says “I believe in the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.”  The end of the Creed goes back to the beginning of the human story, and offers us a new beginning—forgiveness and resurrection life.  Which means – in each of our lives – a new beginning is available. Resurrection life is available. And the path to this new beginning, this resurrection life, is repentance and forgiveness, which is available to everyone.
