Nicene Creed ca. 325 A. D. We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father. Through him all things were made.
Nicene Creed ca. 325 A. D. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was made human. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried. The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will never end.
Nicene Creed ca. 325 A. D. And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life. He proceeds from the Father and the Son, and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified. He spoke through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and to life in the world to come. Amen.
Acts 10: 36 -38 You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

For today We worship a Triune God. Christ’s ministry continues through us, the church. Christ sent His Spirit to empower us: To share the gospel I Thessalonians 1: 5 To use our gifts in service Ephesians 4: 1116 To cry out, “Abba, Father” Rom 8: 15 To help us in our weakness (intercession) Rom 8: 26 -27
For today We worship a Triune God. Christ’s ministry continues through us, the church. Our continual duty is to be filled with the Spirit… (Ephesians 5: 18) …not controlled by wine, or other addictions. Spirit filled life: Fruit of Spirit, sensitivity to sin, His leading, making Bible come to life.
