We’ve spent the last couple months looking at a 1,700 year old creed, thinking about the core truths believed by Christians everywhere. But one might ask, what do these things mean for me?Among other things, our belief in Jesus comes with the promise of our own empty grave and resurrected body.

Paul pivots from politics to personal responsibility, reminding us that the Christian life is summed up in one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” It’s the only debt worth having. It’s a love that isn’t passive—it wakes us up, sobers us, and motivates us to live as marked by it’s purposes. This week’s message calls us to shed apathy, live wi…
