July 09, 2023God, the Father Almighty | Brian Sorgenfrei
Scripture Reference: Matthew 6:5-13
If we are all by nature worshipers and living by faith, then it makes sense that the Apostles Creed begins with the being and nature of God, which is reality itself. The Creed invites us to place our faith in the one true God who exists in three persons. Therefore, “I believe in God the Father Almighty…” is inviting us into a relationship with God who is both strong and humble, near and transcendent, powerful and tender, just and merciful.
