I Believe In
REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
1. What is your experience with the Apostles’ Creed or other creeds? Did you grow up reciting them in church? Do creeds feel foreign or strange to you?
2. Read Romans 10:9-10. Why is both believing in the heart and confessing with the mouth necessary for salvation? What did confessing Jesus is Lord mean for the original audience of Romans? What does it mean for us?
3. Read through the Apostles’ Creed and discuss how it communicates the gospel. Which of the foundational doctrines mentioned in the Creed do you feel like you most need to grow in your understanding of?
4. Do you think that living in an individualistic culture tends to shape the way we think about faith? In what ways? How can reciting the Creed together and with the Church help remind us of the communal nature of our faith?
