Acts 22:21-23:11
1. The _______________ of __________________.
2. __________ is Our ________________ ___________
3. The __________ of Christ is ___________________
Article 4: Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man, one Person in two natures. Jesus—Israel's promised Messiah—was conceived through the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father as our High Priest and Advocate.
Article 5: The Work of Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ, as our representative and substitute, shed His blood on the cross as the perfect, all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins. His atoning death and victorious resurrection constitute the only ground for salvation.
WEEKLY REFLECTIONS
1. Have you ever had a time where you spoke or acted too soon? What did you do? How did you find out you were wrong to act/speak that way?
2. Additional Study: Proverbs 20. Which verses teach about waiting and taking time with God? What other bible stories emphasize waiting on God?
3. Who is the central figure of the biblical story? What do we need to know about who He is and what He has done for us?
4. How do the cross and Resurrection of Christ impact the Christian faith? What is important about the cross? What is important about the Resurrection? How can these be an encouragement to us today?
