CREED

SNIPPET
Where the Bible Speaks, we speak; where the Bible 

is silent, we are silent.

In essentials unity, in opinion diversity, in all things love.

Christians only, but not the only Christians.

No book but the Bible, no name but that of Christ.

SCRIPTURE

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: 

that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,  that he 

was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the 

Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the 

Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the 

brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still 

living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to 

James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me 

also, as to one abnormally born. 1 Corinthians 15:3-8

SONG
Creed Rich Mullins
I believe in God the Father
Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, our Lord

He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
Born of the virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate
He was crucified and dead and buried

And I believe what I believe
Is what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God
And not the invention of any man

I believe that He who suffers
Was crucified, buried, and dead
He descended into hell and
On the third day, rose again

He ascended into Heaven
Where He sits at God's mighty right hand
I believe that He's returning
To judge the quick and the dead
Of the sons of men

And I believe what I believe
Is what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God
And not the invention of any man

I believe it, I believe it
I believe it
I believe it, I believe it

I believe in God the Father
Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, our Lord

I believe in the Holy Spirit
One Holy Church, the communion of Saints
The forgiveness of sin
I believe in the resurrection
I believe in a life that never ends

And I believe what I believe
Is what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no it is making me
I did not make it, no it is making me
I said, "I did not make it, no it is making me"
It is the very truth of God
And not the invention of any man

I believe it, I believe it
I believe it, I believe
I believe it, I believe it
I believe it, I believe it

I believe it, I believe it
I believe it

Sentence Prayer

Lord, remind us that we are resident aliens, called to be in the 

world but not of it.  Show us today what it means to live as 

though your kingdom has come, while trusting that it is still 


coming.  Amen
