Merri Creek Anglican

Beck preaches on the significance of the line in the Apostle’s Creed which says that we ‘believe in the Holy catholic church, the communion of saints’. The idea of the holy church might make us skeptical, but it is Jesus own holiness which is robust and able to go into messy places which has been given to the church. The church is also one church, made up of all people from all times and ages, who are filled with the goodness of Jesus and united to God and each other through the spirit of Christ. It is for this church that Jesus prays that God would protect the church, that the church would be joyful in being united to him, and be made holy as they share the good news in the world.
