Believe Week 3 Notes
Believe
Week 2 – Believing when others are leaving
Australia is no longer a Christian country, it is secular, post-christian.
Australian society is more like bible times, many different religions and plenty of people with no religion.
Read John 6:60-69
Those deserting Jesus was because of the conversation in John 6:22-59.
Belief is a choice. A Choice that only you can make!
Even if others are leaving do you believe in Jesus Christ?
Statement of faith based upon Philippians 2:5-11
Jesus Christ is Lord
We believe in Christ Jesus,
who, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,
but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
being born in human likeness.
And being found in human form,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death – even death on a cross.
Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue should confess to the glory of God:
Jesus Christ is Lord! Amen.
