He descended into hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.He ascended into heaven
And is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit,

MESSAGE SUMMARY
The 3rd church vision: Proclaiming the gospel in all areas of life to the ends of the earth for the “kingdom of God”
- God sends us as ‘missionaries’ in all areas of life. We must proclaim the gospel not just to UUPGs but in our lives as well
- Although all Christians live in the evil city of ‘Babylon’, God wants us to live as missionaries in it.
What are the three areas in which we are to live missional lives?
- Work – Let us clearly recognize that work is a mission field
- Family – A family must be a place of spiritual education
- Nation–Ourbasicattitudeshouldbeobedience.Butevenwherecivil disobedience is allowed, we must avoid judgmental spirit but pray above all.
How then shall we live?
Let us not forget that we are but strangers an aliens in this world. As such, let us not love the world but look to the Kingdom of God.
Let us also remember that God has sent us into the world as missionaries. Let us strive to live missional lives in the areas of work, family and nation.

Let us close the service with the Lord’s Prayer.
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever.
Amen.
