Back to Basics, Part 2

Back to Basics, Week 2

In our second week of a four-week study of the Apostle’s Creed, we move to “I Believe in God the Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth.” There are quite a few powerful terms in that phrase.

God--Who is God? What is God to you? Who are you to God? What are you to God? What if we started to ask some of those basic questions of our relationship? How would we answer?

Father--Father is a loaded term to many of us. Father can have positive or negative connotations. What would it mean if we could call God our Father? What would He mean to you? What would you mean to Him?

Creator--What does it mean to Create? If you’ve created something, what do you leave in it? What does it do to you?

Heaven--What are your thoughts on Heaven? Is a place? A thing? A concept?

Earth--Is that the opposite of Heaven? The compliment of heaven? Both? Neither?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on these. Post them here or send a message.

Would you explore these questions with me and more this week? This Sunday morning we’ll try to see what it would mean for us to live out this Creed. I hope to see you then.
