[Sunday] Good Creation Most Certainly True

The Creed cuts through the noise of our own unworthiness to name us as 'good' creatures, loved by a God who honors our flesh and blood enough to redeem it, not just replace it.

Questions for the Week: Apostles Creed: Good Creation

1. If anyone were to ask you to describe God, what might you answer to begin with?

2. Read Genesis 1.  Do you naturally tend to see yourself as a "beloved creature" or a "broken sinner"? How does that shape your daily life?

3. Read John 1:1-14.  John 1 tells us that God did not escape creation but entered it in Jesus. Where have you seen God’s presence show up in ordinary, messy, or painful moments in your life or family?

4. Jesus rose from the dead still bearing His scars. What does it mean to you that God remembers our pain and wounds, and how might that help you show patience, grace, or care toward others this week?
