Eve’s Story

Eve’s Story

Testimonies
My Testimony Although my cultural environment was Christian, my parents were non-believers. I was baptised as a baby, but that was only a tradition based on superstition.I did believe in God though, but to me He was some sort of remote person who did not really have any positive personal relationship with me. I saw Him as someone who was always ready to punish for every single wrongdoing.

The Apostles’ Creed

The Apostles’ Creed

Blog
This Autumn at MCC our main teaching series has been on the Apostles’ Creed. The Apostles’ Creed is a short statement of faith that has been used for thousands of years by Christians around the world to express the foundationalbeliefs of Christianity. The Creed is based on truths drawn directly from the New Testament, written by Jesus’ apostles, hence the name. It summarises our faith in God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and invites us to commit wholeheartedly to these beliefs and find our place in God’s big story. Many churches say the Creed each week to affirm their shared faith and help pass on a biblical framework the to the next generation. While sincere Christians sometimes disagree on secondary issues, it is really important we have a good…
