Apostles' Creed Pt. 2:God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth
Speaker: Mark Gasque
God the Father Almighty,
Creator of Heaven and Earth
I believe in God the Father almighty, creator 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, dead, and buried.
He descended to hell. The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven and sits on the right hand of the Father almighty, from whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting, amen.
Our God is an infinitely powerful, yet intensely personal Father.
Matthew 6:9-13
Pray then like this: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:9-13
11 Give us this day our daily bread, 12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
1. "Our Father..."
2. "Our Father in heaven..."
3. "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name."
4. "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
5. "Give us this day our daily bread..."
Our daily bread is not that God gives you everything you want; it's that He gives you what you actually need.
Proverbs 30:7-9
Two things I ask of you; deny them not to me before I die:
8 Remove far from me falsehood and lying; give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is
Proverbs 30:7-9
needful for me, 9 lest I be full and deny you and say, "Who is the Lord?“ or lest I be poor and steal and profane the name of my God.
6. "... And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors."
7. "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil."
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability,
1 Corinthians 10:13
but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Symmetry
Clarity
Community
Counsel
If God is infinitely powerful and intensely personal, that should shape you on the day of trouble.
Luke 11:11-13
What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;
12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
Luke 11:11-13
13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
