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

Memorization Challenge of the Month:

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:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with open hearts and minds, seeking Your guidance and wisdom. As we read Your Word today, illuminate our understanding by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Help us to grasp the depth of Your truths and apply them to our lives. Remove any distractions or preconceived notions that may hinder our comprehension. May Your Word transform our hearts, renew our minds, and draw us closer to You. Speak to us clearly and powerfully, and let Your light shine brightly through the Scriptures we study. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
