Transcription

1 Nicene Creed Prayer: I believe in one God, Do we allow ourselves to worship power, money, and greed, instead of the one true God? the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, Is your love of God reflected in how you take care of the earth? of all things visible and invisible. Have you taken time lately to appreciate the talent and personality that God has given us? I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. Do you allow Christ to journey with you always, during the good and the bad or only when it is convenient? God from God, Light from Light, How do we let the light of Christ shine in each and everything we do? true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father. through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven:

2 Oh Lord, have I ever told you thank you for your saving grace? I am so very grateful that you came to earth and showed us how to live so that we may have eternal life. And by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became man. Mary, what was it like to be the mother of Jesus. You cooperated with God to bring Jesus to all of us. Thank you for saying yes; for being so brave and strong when you were so young. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; Ask yourself, when was the last time I hurt another and so contributed to crucifying Jesus and them with our words and actions, we are doing the same to Jesus again. he suffered, died and was buried. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you doesn t even say enough for what you did for me. But, I know through living a more Christ-like life, I can live out my thanks to you each and every day. And rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. Even though people were told of your coming through the scriptures, so many did not believe in who you were when you were here. Help us to believe and not take these precious words for granted. he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

3 Help us to remember that you are always seated among us as well. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. How are we about the business of building the kingdom of God? Do we invite others to come and sit with us at God s table? I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. The presence of the Holy Spirit is the love between the Father and the Son. When we show love to each other, we experience the Holy Spirit. Do we allow ourselves to experience the power of this love and do we challenge ourselves to share this amazing love of the Holy Spirit with others? Who with the Father and the Son he is adored and glorified. When we worship our Heavenly Father, do we glorify his name for only one hour once a week? Why not twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week? What does God deserve? Who has spoken through the Prophets. We find God in one another, when we respect one another we respect God. I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. Church is not confined to one building. It does not have walls. All people are part of Christ s church, because all people are part of the mystical body of Christ. Christ so loved his church that he died for us. How do we show our love for Christ? I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

4 And I look forward to the resurrection of the dead, And the life of the world to come. Let us celebrate our life in the name of God and look with joy to the time when we can party with him in heaven. Amen. And the church says together AMEN.
