This I Believe: About God
This I Believe: About God
Speaker: Pastor Lee Cummings
Date: November 2, 2025
Pastor Lee Cummings unpacks the opening line of the Apostles’ Creed: “I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.” In this message, he explores what it truly means to believe in a God who is not distant but deeply near. Don’t miss the first sermon in our new series, This I Believe!
Here's a 5-day Bible reading plan and devotional guide based on this sermon:
Day 1: God Is
Reading: Hebrews 11:1–6
Faith starts with this truth: God exists. Without believing that, we can’t know or experience Him. The writer of Hebrews says faith means believing two things—God is real, and He rewards those who seek Him. Today, ask yourself: do you believe God is present and active in your life? He isn’t distant—He’s a living reality who wants to be known.
Day 2: God Is Relational
Reading: Deuteronomy 6:4–9; 1 John 4:7–12
“God is love” isn’t just a nice saying—it’s who He is. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have always existed in perfect love. God didn’t start loving when He made us; His love has always been. That means His pursuit of you comes from His very heart. The God who created galaxies calls you His child. He doesn’t watch from afar—He draws near.
Day 3: God Is Creator
Reading: Genesis 1:1–31; Romans 1:18–20
“In the beginning, God created.” Everything we see comes from Him—the stars, the oceans, the smallest details of life. Creation itself shows His power and care. The same God who made the universe also made you. When life feels chaotic, remember: He holds your world in His hands.
Day 4: Jesus—God With Us
Reading: Philippians 2:5–11; John 1:1–14
God came close through Jesus. Though fully God, He humbled Himself, becoming human to rescue us. He gave up everything so we could have life with Him. That’s love beyond measure. Let His sacrifice shape how you live and love others today.
Day 5: What Do You Believe?
Reading: Matthew 16:13–20; Romans 10:9–13
Jesus asked, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “You are the Christ.” That answer still matters today. What you believe about Jesus determines everything. If you’ve confessed Him as Lord, live in that truth daily. If not, today is the perfect time to begin.
