Welcome to Week 1 of our Bible study series, "Profoundly Christian, Distinctly Methodist," at Mount Pleasant! This session kicks off our 10-month journey through "A Catechism of Christian Faith and Doctrine for the Global Methodist Church," diving into the first three questions of 77, rooted in the Nicene Creed. Join us as we explore the profound truths of God’s nature and creation.
In this video, we unpack:
- Question 1: Do you believe in God? We reflect on God as the Father Almighty, creator of all things seen and unseen, and discuss scriptures like Genesis 1:1-31, Joshua 2:11, and 1 Corinthians 8:6.
- Question 2: Who is God? We explore God’s holy and eternal nature through scriptures like Leviticus 19:2 and Deuteronomy 6:4.
- Question 3: What is the mystery of the Trinity? We dive into the triune nature of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—distinct yet inseparable, eternal in essence and power.
Key Themes:
- God’s creation of a sustainable, ordered world (Genesis 1:1-31)
- God’s independence from creation and our dependence on Him
- The awe and humility inspired by God’s omnipotence and the Trinity
- Practical reflections: Feeling small yet strengthened by faith in the triune God
