DECLARATION:
Ephesians 2:20–22 (ESV)
20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.
SVCC is built by God, upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, and with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone.
We are joined together by union with Christ, we are growing, and we are a dwelling place of God by his Spirit.

INTRODUCTION:
Review: I believe…Faith as Trust, Knowledge, and Confession (i.e.
Decision)
WHY?…
TODAY: The remainder of Article 1
Reveals a God who is not absent from creation but wants to be present with His creation!
“The creed of creeds”:
I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth
And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell
The third day he rose again from the dead
He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead
I believe in the Holy Ghost
I believe a holy catholic church; the communion of saints
The forgiveness of sins
The resurrection of the body
And the life everlasting.
Amen.
Opening Scripture:
God the Father
God is first of all Father
God in the highest is revealed through God the Son
God Almighty
God’s power and authority goes beyond this Earth (i.e.
God in the Highest)
All things therefore are under God’s governance
Creation depends on God (Colossians 1:17)!
God judges what is good and what is evil (Romans 2:6-11)
God the Creator
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.
God as creator walked with creation
God as creator perhaps shows his intent to make Earth His home
God as creator tells us that “his commitment stands forever” (i.e.
Covenant)
God as creator comes to redeem His creation
Conclusion/Reflection:
As we move to our communion service where we partake of Lord’s table we are recognizing the Creator coming based on His commitments to redeem us.
The creator who comes in this moment in a special way to be with us!
***Communion***
Examine:
Are you connecting with God each day?
Are you walking each day by the Spirit of God?
Are you regularly gathering with a Church congregation?
Are you connecting with other believers in a community group?
(Are you called to lead a group?)
Are you eating once a month with someone from SVCC and eating with someone who is not regularly participating with a Church congregation?

OTHER:
*Creation (grace) > Covenant (Jesus) > Redemption (Fellowship)*
Creation has the goal of relationship (ground of creation is God’s grace because it only exists and continues by the Word of God))
Covenant happens only in relationship
Redemption comes through relationship with God who came to us and is calling us to Him still!
