Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
Matthew 28:19-20 (NT page 34)

The Apostles’ Creed – I Believe in the Holy Spirit, Part 1
One day Jesus gathered all his disciples around him, and he said to John, his beloved disciple, "Come forth and receive the Holy Spirit." But John came in fifth, and so all he got was a lousy toaster oven.
In the first week of this sermon series on the Apostles' Creed, we talked about God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. Then we spent the next three weeks on the longest section of the Creed, the part about Jesus Christ. Today we come to the final section in the Apostle's Creed, the section that talks about the Holy Spirit.
"I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting." We're actually going to split that up into two parts, so today we're going to talk about the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, and the communion of saints, and then next week will be the "grand finale" for this sermon series.
