Slide 59 The Outgoing God Nicene Creed We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. Slide 60 And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; Slide 61 who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; Slide 62 he was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried, and the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; Slide 63 from thence he shall come again, with glory, to judge the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. Slide 64 And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spake by the prophets.

If God had not a communicative, spreading goodness, he would never have created the world. The Father, Son and Holy Ghost were happy in themselves and enjoyed one another before the world was. Slide 73 Richard Sibbes But that God delights to communicate and spread his goodness, there had never been a creation nor a redemption. God useth his creatures not for defect of power, that he can do nothing without them, but for the spreading of his goodness. Slide 74 The Eternally Outgoing God Son Father Spirit Slide 75 The Eternally Outgoing God God so loved the world that He gave... His Son and His Spirit Particularly Universally Slide 76 Why did God make us? And who made God? Slide 77 You're the Word of God the Father From before the world began. Ev'ry star and ev'ry planet Has been fashioned by Your hand. All creation holds together By the power of Your voice. Let the skies declare Your glory; Let the land and seas rejoice! Slide 78 You're the Author of creation; You're the Lord of ev'ry man; And Your cry of love rings out across the lands. Slide 79 Yet You left the gaze of angels, Came to seek and save the lost, And exchanged the joy of heaven For the anguish of a cross. With a prayer You fed the hungry; With a word You calmed the sea; Yet how silently You suffered That the guilty may go free! Slide 80 You're the Author of creation; You're the Lord of ev'ry man; And Your cry of love rings out across the lands. Slide 81 With a shout You rose victorious, Wresting vict'ry from the grave, And ascended into heaven, Leading captives in Your way. Now You stand before the Father, Interceding for Your own; From each tribe and tongue and nation, You are leading sinners home! Slide 82 You're the Author of creation; You're the Lord of ev'ry man; And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.
