I Believe In the Forgiveness of Sins (1 John 3:4, John 14:15, Genesis 2:16-17, Isaiah 59:2, Isaiah 64:6, Exodus 34:6-7, Isaiah 53:5-6, Matthew 9:6, Matthew 26:28, Luke 23:34, Luke 24:46-47, Mark 1:15)
Sermon series: This I Believe -- the Apostles' Creed
In Jesus, God can mercifully forgive our sins without compromising His justice, and so be perfectly merciful and perfectly just at the same time (Exodus 34:6-7). He is just, because sin has been punished in Jesus. And he is merciful, because He can now freely forgive. This forgiveness cannot be earned, but can only be received humbly as a free gift. Knowing a forgiveness that doesn’t compromise justice enables us to truly rejoice that we are forgiven (Psalm 32:1-2), and helps us to create a safe space for sinners in our church (Matthew 18:21-22, Colossians 3:13).

I Believe in the Church (1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 1 Peter 2:9-12; Matthew 28:18-20; Revelation 7:9-10; 1 John 1:1-3)
Sermon series: This I Believe -- The Apostles' Creed
After its description of the persons of the Trinity, the Apostles' Creed transitions to a description of the church as God's people. The church is the gathering of saints who have been set apart by God for the sacred mission of proclaiming the Gospel to the ends of the earth. As believers, we have communion with one another through our common union in Christ. This provides a foretaste of the fellowship that we'll have in eternity with every believer in Christ from every nation, tribe, people, and language.

I Believe in the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:1-3, Luke 3:21-22, John 14:15-17, John 14:25-27, 1 Cor 12:3; Rom 8:15-17)
Sermon series: This I Believe -- The Apostles' Creed
After confessing about God the Father and the Son, the Apostles’ Creed turns to the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, in the third paragraph (“I believe in the Holy Spirit”). Theologian J. I. Packer says that this paragraph “turns to the re-creating work of the Spirit, whereby we are actually made new in and through Christ.” In order to appreciate better what it means to be a believer, we need to understand the person, presence, and power of the Holy Spirit as He applies the work that Christ accomplished to us.

I Believe Jesus Rose (1 Corinthians 15:3-8, 17-20, Romans 6:4-5, Acts 1:6-11, Hebrews 9:24, Hebrews 8:1-2, Romans 8:34, Acts 17:30-31, 2 Timothy 4:1-2, Revelation 1:7)
Sermon series: This I Believe -- The Apostles' Creed
The Creed teaches us that Jesus rose on the third day, ascended to heaven, is seated at the right hand of God and will return to judge the living and the dead. Through this Jesus obtains for us a secure and sure salvation, and gives us eternal hope.

I Believe Jesus Suffered (Matthew 27:11-14, 20-26, 45-50, 57-60; Acts 2:27-31; Isaiah 53:6)
Sermon series: This I Believe -- The Apostles' Creed
The creed helps us confess that we believe Jesus died unjustly, innocently, but historically at the hands of Pontius Pilate. He died a cruel and shameful death by crucifixion to forgive our sins and cover our shame. His death, burial and descent to the place of the dead show us that Jesus died as a human being, in our place, and for our salvation. Jesus deals not just with our fear of death, but with death itself.

I Believe in Jesus Christ (John 1:1-3,14; 5:16-18; 8:18-19; Matthew 1:18-25; Philippians 2:5-11)
Sermon series: This I Believe -- The Apostles' Creed
Christians throughout the ages have believed that Jesus is fully God and fully human at the same time. This means that God has broken into history, showing us that He is real, and that He has come to save us, conquer evil, and restore what is broken by sin.
