The Communion of the Saints, Part 2

Ephesians 4:1-16
Many people dismiss the value and importance of the church and neglect the regular assembly of believers. But we cannot live under Jesus Christ as our Head if we separate ourselves from His Body, the church. The Communion of the Saints is the result of the Saints in Communion with Jesus Christ and one another, empowered by the Spirit of God and saturated with the Word of God.

The Communion of the Saints, Part 1

Ephesians 4:1-16
The Apostles Creed states, “I believe in the Communion of the saints” – but it is not enough for Christian to merely confess this great truth. The church of Jesus Christ must actually manifest the reality of Christian love, unity, and fellowship, as we live out the Communion of the saints as a powerful witness before a watching world.

The Holy Catholic Church, Part 2

Ephesians 2:19-22
The church is not a physical building with a cross and steeple – it is a living spiritual body comprised of born-again believers throughout the world. Because true Christians believe in the invisible and triumphant “Holy catholic Church,” we intentionally commit ourselves and our families to the visible and militant Church by the Grace of God, for the Glory of God, to extend the Kingdom of God.

The Holy Catholic Church, Part 1

Ephesians 2:19-22
If you attend a Presbyterian, Baptist, or any other Evangelical church, you might wonder why we confess “I believe in the holy catholic church” in the Apostles' Creed. After all, wasn't the Protestant Reformation a reaction to the errors and unbiblical practices of the Roman Catholic church? What exactly do we mean when we declare, “I believe in the holy catholic church?”

Outdo One Another

Romans 12:9-13
Some people try to outdo others out of a sense of superiority and pride. They may be arrogant and boastful, trying to show how much better they are than everyone else. Join Dr. Harry Reeder next time on InPerspective as he shows us a way we can try to outdo others that is actually pleasing to the Lord.

The Holy Spirit, Part 2

Ephesians 1:3-14
The Holy Spirit is co-equally and co-eternally God along with the Father and Jesus Christ the Son, and it is vital for believers to understand His person, work, and ministries. In fact, He is at work in the life of every true child of God in seven wonderful ways. His ministry in and to God's people is Sovereign, Supernatural, Saving, Sensible, Sanctifying, Sealing, and Securing.

The Holy Spirit, Part 1

Ephesians 1:3-14
In the Apostles’ Creed we confess, “I believe in the Holy Spirit” – but what exactly DO you believe about the Holy Spirit? A Christian must never refer to the Holy Spirit as “it” or conceive of Him as some impersonal force. Rather, He is a divine person, truly God, the third person of the Trinity, coequal with the Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ the Son of God.

From There He Shall Come to Judge the Living and the Dead, Part 2

1 Timothy 3:14-16
Hebrews chapter 9 says, “Just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for Him.” Have you secured a favorable verdict in the coming Day of Judgment by trusting in Jesus Christ alone for your salvation?

From There He Shall Come to Judge the Living and the Dead, Part 1

1 Timothy 3:14-16
Christians for centuries have declared, “He shall come to judge the living and the dead,” when reciting the Apostles’ Creed. But today, there is much confusion about the subject of the end times, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, and His coming Judgment. What does the Bible teach us about these critically important matters?

And Sits on the Right Hand of God, the Father Almighty, Part 2

Ephesians 4:7-10
Hebrews chapter 10 declares, “When Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time until His enemies should be made a footstool for His feet. For by a single offering He has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.” Jesus Christ ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of God the Father as our Great High Priest, Mediator, and Advocate.
