Sunday Service: Brief Statement of Faith

This Sunday, we continue our sermon series looking at “A Brief Statement of Faith.” This week, we will spend time looking at “Jesus and His Atonement”. I have spoken about atonement theories before. Atonement (at-one-ment) is an English word coined by William Tyndale for his early English translation of the Bible. This word describes the work of God in Christ “reconciling the world to Himself.” This week we will take a “sweeping” look at how the PCUSA and the A Brief Statement of Faith committee celebrate the beauty of humans getting right with God. This statement (confession) was added to our Presbyterian Book of Confessions in 1990 as a way of bringing unity to the long-divided Northern and Southern branches of the largest bodies of the Presbyterian church in the US. This Statement is what FPCN has posted as “what we believe” on our WebPage.
