Communial Core belief action
I have shared that my core belief -- and that of Southern Hills -- is Jesus: specifically that he died for our sins, that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day.
But it is more than an intellectual conviction. I entered into my core belief by being crucified with Christ in baptism.
But I also share with God's family in participating in this core. I Corinthians 10: 15 reminds us that our communion together is a participation in his blood (his death).
It is important to me that a core belief be something that can be lived. It is something I can participate in as an individual and in community.
The core belief is Jesus. I live it. We live it.
