Apostles Creed session 1

Welcome to a new term of DTP, looking at the Apostles’ Creed. Here is the homework for this session, as well as a link to the pdf for To Be A Christian… and a bonus video!!

Begin to memorise the Apostles’ Creed.

Over the next half-term we’ll also be working to memorise Matthew 5:1-10

(we’ll memorise the whole of the Sermon on the Mount over the next 3 years)

For personal reflection:

Pick an aspect of your ‘spiritual’ life such as prayer or Bible reading…  How am I living?  What am I actually doing?  What does that teach me about what I believe…

Now pick another aspect of your life, such as a key relationship (e.g. friend, spouse, children), or how I spend money, or time.  How am I living?  What am I actually doing?  What does that teach me about what I believe…

Reflect on something you know you should be doing, but don’t.  Sthg I don’t do that I know I should…  It might be something ‘spiritual’, or everyday...

What does what I am (not) doing tell me about what I actually believe..?  How can I change that?
