Reading With the People of God - #5 We Believe.Sample

Memorization Challenge of the Month:

This month, alongside our daily readings, we aim to recite and memorize the Apostles' Creed! This ancient statement of faith has been a cornerstone of Christianity for centuries, succinctly encapsulating our core beliefs. By participating in this challenge, we hope to deepen our understanding and strengthen our connection to these profound truths.

For the next 30 days, we will recite the Apostles' Creed daily, allowing its words to become ingrained in our hearts and minds. This practice will help us reflect on the foundational beliefs that unite Christians across generations and traditions.

As we commit to this journey, let the truths of the Creed inspire and transform our faith. Embrace this challenge with dedication, and let’s draw nearer to the heart of our Christian faith together.

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Christian church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

Reading with the People of God Primer:

Each day, this plan includes a brief "primer" to help you reflect on the day's readings. A primer is an introductory guide that offers essential insights on a topic. This "Reading with the People of God Primer" is designed to help you engage with and connect to the broader community of believers through daily readings and reflections.
