The Apostles Creed - Week 6 // July 20, 2025
Following up from an incredibly thought-provoking message on what happened to Christ after he died and “descended to the dead”, we move into the section of the Apostles Creed, “he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the dead.” Moving through several texts in several books throughout Scripture, join us to learn a bit more about what Christ’s ascension and his place at the right of the Father means to the Children of God he died for.
Things to consider as you listen:
Both Christ’s descent and ascent have great significance in God’s pursuit of humanity.
The Incarnation of christ isn’t over.
In his human body, Christ ascended into heaven to be with God for eternity! Likewise, so will we!
“The one who in his resurrection conquered death now sits at the very throne of God, and because he is there the evil that once held us captive no longer has the power to do so!” (Apostles’ Creed for Today")
Christ will come again to establish the Kingdom of God once and for all.
When Christ returns, that which is captivated by evil must be separated from that which is captivated by God.
The one on the judgment seat is the same one who lived & died on our behalf.
