S6E15: One Church (We Believe... Pt. 11)

Sermon #294

What we find in the words "I Believe in... the holy catholic church, the communion of saints..." can be troublesome to some.  How can we profess belief in one church when there are so many denominations?  Often it is used against us as Christians to say that we can't even agree with each other.  And yet, there is undeniably something universal about the body of Christ, and what we affirm in this section of the Creed is not antidenominational, but rather that it is the Holy Spirit acting in all believers, no matter what church or denomination they may belong to, that makes us one.
