Easter According to the Apostles' Creed (Part 7)

TEXT: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Today, we are continuing with the seventh message in this series as we look at the Biblical basis for the statement of faith known as the Apostles' Creed. The Old Roman Form of the Apostles' Creed reads as follows: 
 
I believe in God, the Father Almighty; and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was born by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, who under Pontius Pilate was crucified, and buried. On the third day rose again from the dead. He ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. From thence he will come to judge the living and the dead. And in the Holy Spirit, the holy Church, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, the life everlasting. Amen.

Today, we are looking at the next three lines of the creed which read: I believe "in the Holy Spirit, [and in] the holy Church." The most widely-used version of the creed adds: "in the communion of saints." Notice three things from the biblical foundation for these beliefs.
