1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,560 May the words of my mouth and the 2 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,700 meditations of my heart and all of our 3 00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:07,800 hearts be pleasing to Thee, O Lord, our 4 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,800 Rock and our Redeemer. 5 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:10,980 Amen. 6 00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:18,120 Trinity Sunday is a contemplation of the inner 7 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,980 life of God as a communion of love, 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:28,000 one divine essence, one divine being, one divine 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,780 life, revealed as three divine persons in eternal 10 00:00:32,780 --> 00:00:37,980 relationship as God the Father, God the Son, 11 00:00:38,620 --> 00:00:40,460 and God the Holy Spirit. 12 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,080 Now, it's through the life and teachings of 13 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:50,520 Jesus at his baptism, at the Annunciation where 14 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,500 the Holy Spirit conceived Jesus in the womb 15 00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:57,140 of Mary, there's many places where we began 16 00:00:57,140 --> 00:00:59,580 to see the Trinity at work. 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,599 And it's through his life and teachings that 18 00:01:03,599 --> 00:01:06,400 the early Christians came to understand the nature 19 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,740 of God as three distinct persons or expressions 20 00:01:11,740 --> 00:01:17,460 of the one divine life, mutually indwelling, co 21 00:01:17,460 --> 00:01:22,280 -inhering and relating as a divine family, a 22 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:28,120 divine family whose name is the Father, the 23 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,160 Son, and the Holy Spirit. 24 00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:34,300 We might not think of the name of 25 00:01:34,300 --> 00:01:39,500 God being Trinitarian, but Jesus said, baptize them 26 00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:41,500 in the name, singular. 27 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,020 God, the Father, God, the Son, and God, 28 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,700 the Holy Spirit. 29 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,840 Jesus confers this name on the mission of 30 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,040 the church, as I mentioned, to go into 31 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,040 all the world and make disciples of all 32 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,900 nations, baptizing them, immersing them in the name 33 00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:05,000 of the Father and of the Son and 34 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:05,960 of the Holy Spirit. 35 00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:11,080 Christians are those who, through faith, have been 36 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:16,140 immersed by water and of spirit into this 37 00:02:16,140 --> 00:02:21,540 divine life, into this communion of infinite love, 38 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,840 as we say in the Eucharistic prayer, Holy 39 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,300 and Gracious Father, in your infinite love. 40 00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:33,780 So it's been an immersion into a communion 41 00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:37,160 of infinite love, eternal love, shared within the 42 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,500 inner life of God, the Father, the Son 43 00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:42,660 and the Holy Spirit, a holy family of 44 00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:46,940 one God, one divinity of three persons. 45 00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:51,220 The whole mission of Jesus was to reveal 46 00:02:51,220 --> 00:02:54,200 the one true God as Father. 47 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,860 To show us the Father. 48 00:02:57,780 --> 00:03:01,880 And to call the nations to worship the 49 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,740 God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 50 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:05,860 as Paul describes him. 51 00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:10,860 The Father is the God and Father of 52 00:03:10,860 --> 00:03:11,480 the Son. 53 00:03:12,210 --> 00:03:13,660 The Lord Jesus Christ. 54 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,320 Though the Lord Jesus Christ shares the same 55 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,280 divinity with the Father. 56 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,460 The fatherhood of God has nothing to do 57 00:03:23,460 --> 00:03:26,700 with the misconstrued attack on the theological language 58 00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:29,040 of the Bible as patriarchy. 59 00:03:30,540 --> 00:03:34,440 Patriarchy has gotten a really, really bad name, 60 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,040 and it's used to describe the gendered terms 61 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,220 even for God in the Bible. 62 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,300 We would have to argue with Jesus himself 63 00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:47,440 to change that wording, even though it's being 64 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,640 done throughout much of the church. 65 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,880 It's not our idea. 66 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,780 So there are those who seek to wipe 67 00:03:56,780 --> 00:03:58,800 out the gendered language of the Bible and 68 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,420 so doing make a grave theological error. 69 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:07,280 It's misunderstanding the whole foundation from eternity into 70 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,180 time and space. 71 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,600 Ultimately, we are in relations with God as 72 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,880 Father because he is the God and Father 73 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,680 of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of 74 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,100 God. 75 00:04:23,220 --> 00:04:24,920 This father has a son, and this is 76 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,700 why he is a father, right? 77 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,720 This father has a family, and that's why 78 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:30,880 he is a father. 79 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,300 Father is his name. 80 00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:35,820 And it's not symbolic. 81 00:04:36,510 --> 00:04:42,420 But spiritually, one who generates life, life eternal. 82 00:04:43,780 --> 00:04:47,620 The son is eternally begotten of the father. 83 00:04:48,180 --> 00:04:50,560 Fathers beget mother's birth. 84 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,640 The son is eternally begotten of the father, 85 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,540 God from God, light from light, true God 86 00:04:58,540 --> 00:05:05,620 from true God of one being essence with 87 00:05:05,620 --> 00:05:08,100 the father of the same divinity. 88 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,700 You could say it's one divinity with three 89 00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:14,680 persons, Jesus, the son of the father. 90 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,540 And our great high priest now participates with 91 00:05:17,540 --> 00:05:21,500 us in praying the prayer he gave us. 92 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,240 Conferring on us a fully adopted status as 93 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:33,040 Abba's children, praying our father. 94 00:05:34,540 --> 00:05:36,940 He is our father because he is the 95 00:05:36,940 --> 00:05:38,720 father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 96 00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:43,420 Knowing this right in the introduction, just those 97 00:05:43,420 --> 00:05:47,160 thoughts alone, how could we confer patriarchy on 98 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:47,980 the words of Jesus? 99 00:05:48,420 --> 00:05:51,720 Patriarchy in a negative, derogative way of looking 100 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,580 at it, that is. 101 00:05:54,280 --> 00:05:57,700 Family and fatherhood is not a human invention 102 00:05:57,700 --> 00:06:00,300 or a cultural development alone. 103 00:06:01,420 --> 00:06:05,860 No, we do not read anthropomorphic ideas back 104 00:06:05,860 --> 00:06:10,800 into God, but we read theopromorphic truth into 105 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:11,280 us. 106 00:06:11,820 --> 00:06:14,660 We're not projecting onto God human characteristics. 107 00:06:15,230 --> 00:06:19,360 God gives us the divine characteristics because we 108 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,920 are made in his image and likeness. 109 00:06:23,780 --> 00:06:25,240 See how we twist this and turn it 110 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,580 around very, very easily. 111 00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:33,400 The earthly family is being deconstructed by none 112 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,800 other than the father of lies. 113 00:06:36,540 --> 00:06:40,560 There's another father in contention with the father. 114 00:06:41,700 --> 00:06:44,000 He's called the father of lies by Jesus 115 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:44,580 himself. 116 00:06:45,340 --> 00:06:48,900 The father of lies, Satan himself knows full 117 00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:51,300 well where family is derived. 118 00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:55,260 He used to be in that family and 119 00:06:55,260 --> 00:06:58,520 he chose to leave and to lead all 120 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,500 of us out of the father's family. 121 00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:04,400 You have an enemy. 122 00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:07,760 And we have one who has overcome that 123 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:08,080 enemy. 124 00:07:09,340 --> 00:07:12,600 The son of the father in whom we 125 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:12,880 dwell. 126 00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:15,580 We're in the son and the son is 127 00:07:15,580 --> 00:07:17,940 in us by his spirit because of his 128 00:07:17,940 --> 00:07:18,760 redemptive work. 129 00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:23,640 Therefore, family comes from God. 130 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,400 Family comes from God. 131 00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:30,880 Our father, who created human beings, male and 132 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,540 female, to be united together in communion with 133 00:07:33,540 --> 00:07:35,960 the divine family, the Holy Trinity. 134 00:07:36,580 --> 00:07:38,020 You don't get this on the news. 135 00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:42,900 That's why we need to teach theology, right? 136 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,750 This is why Paul prays Ephesians 314 and 137 00:07:48,750 --> 00:07:49,170 following. 138 00:07:50,570 --> 00:07:53,030 For this reason, I bow my knees before 139 00:07:53,030 --> 00:07:57,270 the almighty one, the supreme being. 140 00:07:57,330 --> 00:08:00,770 No, I bow my knees before the father, 141 00:08:01,950 --> 00:08:03,990 not just any old father, but the father. 142 00:08:05,810 --> 00:08:08,710 Perfected in love who cast out all fears. 143 00:08:09,690 --> 00:08:11,870 For this reason, I bow my knees before 144 00:08:11,870 --> 00:08:15,090 the father from whom get this verse 15, 145 00:08:15,750 --> 00:08:20,510 Ephesians 315, from whom every family in heaven. 146 00:08:21,950 --> 00:08:27,570 And on earth is named, it comes from 147 00:08:27,570 --> 00:08:27,910 God. 148 00:08:29,070 --> 00:08:30,990 This is not a human cultural institution. 149 00:08:32,890 --> 00:08:36,309 God gave us the idea of family because 150 00:08:36,309 --> 00:08:39,150 it is first generated in him eternally. 151 00:08:40,350 --> 00:08:42,610 It's a beautiful thing to think, isn't it, 152 00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:46,210 that according to the riches of his glory, 153 00:08:46,250 --> 00:08:48,650 he may grant you to be strengthened with 154 00:08:48,650 --> 00:08:49,190 power. 155 00:08:49,390 --> 00:08:52,570 Here's the Trinitarian thing going on, bowing his 156 00:08:52,570 --> 00:08:55,550 knees before the father, strengthened with power through 157 00:08:55,550 --> 00:08:59,310 his spirit in your inner being so that 158 00:08:59,310 --> 00:09:03,810 Christ, so that Christ may dwell in your 159 00:09:03,810 --> 00:09:05,250 hearts through faith. 160 00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:08,790 That you being rooted and grounded in love 161 00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:11,950 and God is love, it's being rooted and 162 00:09:11,950 --> 00:09:14,690 grounded in Christ, being rooted and grounded in 163 00:09:14,690 --> 00:09:18,690 love, ontological love, not the kind of love 164 00:09:18,690 --> 00:09:23,190 that we strive to develop, but it's love, 165 00:09:23,310 --> 00:09:26,870 perfected love, unconditional love, eternal. 166 00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:31,010 Rooted and grounded in God, who is love, 167 00:09:31,170 --> 00:09:33,950 may have strength to comprehend with all the 168 00:09:33,950 --> 00:09:37,070 saints what is the breadth and length and 169 00:09:37,070 --> 00:09:40,330 height and depth and to know the love 170 00:09:40,330 --> 00:09:41,310 of Christ. 171 00:09:41,310 --> 00:09:45,510 Oh, St. Aidan's, that we may know the 172 00:09:45,510 --> 00:09:46,550 love of Christ. 173 00:09:48,010 --> 00:09:49,830 That surpasses knowledge. 174 00:09:51,230 --> 00:09:56,070 That you may be filled with all the 175 00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:58,570 fullness of God. 176 00:09:59,930 --> 00:10:03,130 You see, the juxtaposition that you may know 177 00:10:03,130 --> 00:10:06,190 the love of Christ and filled with all 178 00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:06,750 the fullness. 179 00:10:08,090 --> 00:10:11,270 Paul is just saying one thing, but he's 180 00:10:11,270 --> 00:10:15,430 breaking it down, filled with God, filled with 181 00:10:15,430 --> 00:10:19,430 love, strengthened by his spirit, it's all one 182 00:10:19,430 --> 00:10:21,310 operation of the father and the son and 183 00:10:21,310 --> 00:10:22,010 the Holy Spirit. 184 00:10:23,150 --> 00:10:26,950 Now, historically, since the second century by Tullian, 185 00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:29,710 this has come to be known and described 186 00:10:29,710 --> 00:10:31,290 as the Holy Trinity. 187 00:10:31,290 --> 00:10:33,750 He was the first to actually use the 188 00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:38,230 word and as today's Eucharistic preface, for with 189 00:10:38,230 --> 00:10:41,370 your co-eternal son and Holy Spirit, you 190 00:10:41,370 --> 00:10:44,310 are one God, one Lord in Trinity of 191 00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:47,150 persons and in unity of being. 192 00:10:47,850 --> 00:10:50,750 And we celebrate the one and equal glory 193 00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:55,030 of you, oh, father and the son and 194 00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:55,810 of the Holy Spirit. 195 00:10:57,170 --> 00:10:59,650 So today, I pray that we would not 196 00:10:59,650 --> 00:11:04,050 think about this mystery as merely a philosophical 197 00:11:04,050 --> 00:11:08,210 construct, something for people to ponder who have 198 00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:10,050 too much time on their hands. 199 00:11:12,210 --> 00:11:14,670 This is not the way we receive the 200 00:11:14,670 --> 00:11:15,690 teaching of the Holy Trinity. 201 00:11:16,250 --> 00:11:19,250 We pray the truth of the Holy Trinity. 202 00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:22,690 We receive the life through the spirit of 203 00:11:22,690 --> 00:11:23,330 the Holy Trinity. 204 00:11:23,630 --> 00:11:26,990 We are immersed through baptism into that life 205 00:11:26,990 --> 00:11:27,850 of the Holy Trinity. 206 00:11:28,130 --> 00:11:33,750 It's way, way beyond a philosophical construct, something 207 00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:36,190 that Jesus reveals to the church. 208 00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:41,070 We should receive it as two things, at 209 00:11:41,070 --> 00:11:45,970 least as an affirmation of faith as expressed 210 00:11:45,970 --> 00:11:49,990 throughout the scriptures and in the creeds and 211 00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:51,450 as a call to mission. 212 00:11:52,290 --> 00:11:55,790 The creeds call us to affirm this faith, 213 00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:59,270 we believe in one God, the father almighty, 214 00:11:59,550 --> 00:12:03,470 he's father, he's not just the almighty, he's 215 00:12:03,470 --> 00:12:04,330 father almighty. 216 00:12:04,810 --> 00:12:07,250 If you're not praying to a force, you're 217 00:12:07,250 --> 00:12:12,310 praying to something so incomprehensibly loving that you 218 00:12:12,310 --> 00:12:13,530 can't get your head around it, but he's 219 00:12:13,530 --> 00:12:14,410 more than a force. 220 00:12:15,270 --> 00:12:18,510 And he can be forceful, he can be 221 00:12:18,510 --> 00:12:24,530 forceful, but he's not the force, he's the 222 00:12:24,530 --> 00:12:25,090 source. 223 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:29,880 There you go. 224 00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:35,940 He's the father almighty, he's the maker of 225 00:12:35,940 --> 00:12:36,680 heaven and earth. 226 00:12:37,860 --> 00:12:41,240 We believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, 227 00:12:41,340 --> 00:12:44,080 our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy 228 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,120 Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and so 229 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:46,320 forth. 230 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,740 So right there in the beginning of the 231 00:12:47,740 --> 00:12:51,040 Nicene Creed, before they actually address the Holy 232 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,560 Spirit at the end, the Trinity is right 233 00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:59,120 there in the beginning, conceived by the Holy 234 00:12:59,120 --> 00:12:59,360 Spirit. 235 00:12:59,460 --> 00:13:02,780 Our Lord Jesus Christ was conceived in the 236 00:13:02,780 --> 00:13:06,480 womb of the Virgin by the very Holy 237 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,680 Spirit himself. 238 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,880 It's a Trinitarian work because the father sent 239 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,280 the son and the spirit conceived of the 240 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,420 divine logos in the womb of Mary and 241 00:13:18,420 --> 00:13:19,220 he became man. 242 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:20,240 Amen. 243 00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:23,260 The name of the Holy Trinity is a 244 00:13:23,260 --> 00:13:26,900 call to mission, not just any mission, but 245 00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:29,800 to the mission of God, God's mission in 246 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:30,260 the world. 247 00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:33,460 As part of his apostolic people, we are 248 00:13:33,460 --> 00:13:37,260 sending today Anita in Georgia off to Zambia 249 00:13:37,260 --> 00:13:41,280 and we're sending Lisa next week off to 250 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:41,760 Uganda. 251 00:13:42,620 --> 00:13:44,840 And then within a month, we'll be receiving 252 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,440 missionaries, Trevor and John of Connect Africa, and 253 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,960 they will be preaching and sharing and spending 254 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,420 a good week or so with us. 255 00:13:52,420 --> 00:13:52,940 And so. 256 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,560 This is what the Holy Trinity does, the 257 00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:00,680 Holy Trinity is in the work of completing 258 00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:04,020 the mission and Jesus gives us that mission 259 00:14:04,020 --> 00:14:08,920 first by being immersed into the life of 260 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:10,560 the Holy Trinity in the name of the 261 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:12,780 father and of the son and of the 262 00:14:12,780 --> 00:14:13,420 Holy Spirit. 263 00:14:14,260 --> 00:14:15,300 Go do it. 264 00:14:18,010 --> 00:14:20,710 So let's never forget that Christ revealed the 265 00:14:20,710 --> 00:14:23,590 nature of God and what we've come to 266 00:14:23,590 --> 00:14:27,150 call the Holy Trinity and calls us to 267 00:14:27,150 --> 00:14:29,970 his continued mission in the world, first by 268 00:14:29,970 --> 00:14:33,470 immersing us into the name of the father 269 00:14:33,470 --> 00:14:34,970 and of the son and of the Holy 270 00:14:34,970 --> 00:14:39,150 Spirit, the divine family, a communion of infinite 271 00:14:39,150 --> 00:14:43,510 love and thinking about today's readings. 272 00:14:44,330 --> 00:14:47,170 May we be like that humble bush. 273 00:14:48,930 --> 00:14:51,090 We're kind of like that humble bush, we 274 00:14:51,090 --> 00:14:53,910 need the flame, we need the eternal flame 275 00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:56,170 to come upon us that doesn't consume us 276 00:14:56,170 --> 00:14:58,490 somewhat like the incarnation. 277 00:14:59,830 --> 00:15:02,590 The very life of God came into the 278 00:15:02,590 --> 00:15:05,170 womb of Mary and it didn't consume her. 279 00:15:06,070 --> 00:15:08,470 She became a bush of flame with the 280 00:15:08,470 --> 00:15:09,250 life of God. 281 00:15:09,780 --> 00:15:12,190 May we, too, become a bush of flame 282 00:15:12,190 --> 00:15:16,830 set aflame by God's burning love, his burning 283 00:15:16,830 --> 00:15:21,050 fire of love, that living presence of God 284 00:15:21,050 --> 00:15:24,370 who dwells in us, the spirit of adoption, 285 00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:31,460 who cries Abba father in the name of 286 00:15:31,460 --> 00:15:32,860 the father and the son and the Holy 287 00:15:32,860 --> 00:15:33,280 Spirit. 288 00:15:33,780 --> 00:15:34,480 Amen. 289 00:15:36,020 --> 00:15:38,840 Let's stand together and we will affirm our 290 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,280 faith in this Trinitarian life. 291 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,120 We believe in one God, the father, the 292 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,480 almighty maker of heaven and earth, of all 293 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,300 that is seen and unseen. 294 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,140 We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the 295 00:15:58,140 --> 00:16:01,920 only son of God, eternally begotten of the 296 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,900 father, God from God, light from life, true 297 00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:11,500 God from true God, begotten, not made of 298 00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:13,140 one being with the father. 299 00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:17,660 Through him, all things were made for us 300 00:16:17,660 --> 00:16:19,080 and for our salvation. 301 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,160 He came down from heaven by the power 302 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,440 of the Holy Spirit. 303 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,640 He became incarnate from the Virgin Mary and 304 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,460 was made man for our sake. 305 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,200 He was crucified under Pontius Pilate. 306 00:16:34,900 --> 00:16:38,240 He suffered death and was buried on the 307 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:38,900 third day. 308 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,220 He rose again in accordance with the scriptures. 309 00:16:43,140 --> 00:16:46,680 He ascended into heaven and is seated at 310 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,220 the right hand of the father. 311 00:16:48,980 --> 00:16:51,680 He will come again in glory to judge 312 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,800 the living and the dead, and his kingdom 313 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,060 will have no end. 314 00:16:57,140 --> 00:17:00,500 We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, 315 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,660 the giver of life who proceeds from the 316 00:17:03,660 --> 00:17:07,000 father and the son with the father and 317 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:07,579 the son. 318 00:17:07,700 --> 00:17:09,480 He is worshipped and glorified. 319 00:17:10,210 --> 00:17:12,280 He has spoken through the prophets. 320 00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:16,599 We believe in one holy Catholic and apostolic 321 00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:17,180 church. 322 00:17:17,780 --> 00:17:21,079 We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of 323 00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:21,599 sins. 324 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,940 We look for the resurrection of the dead 325 00:17:24,940 --> 00:17:27,560 and the life of the world to come. 326 00:17:29,580 --> 00:17:31,900 Seated for the prayers of the people this 327 00:17:31,900 --> 00:17:32,120 morning.
