Matthew's Journal

I have to produce a set of small group notes for Methsoc to use next term. I need 7 sessions' worth, I think. I want to take the Nicene Creed as my basis, so need to chose 7 topics from it to consider. I'm currently thinking in terms of:

1. "We believe" Why have a creed at all? Something on the nature of faith.
   
2. "We believe in one God, the Father almighty" A personal God, suffering of God, God within the world ( theodicy), creation.
   
3. "We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ" Christology: the divine and human nature of Christ
   
4. "For our sake he was crucified" Doctrines of salvation (I've wibbled about this previously here)
   
5. "We believe in the Holy Spirit" The Holy Spirit: its nature and function
   
6. "Who proceeds from the Father [and the Son]" The doctrine of the Trinity (and maybe that troublesome filioque)
   
7. "He will come again in Glory" Eschatology: Hell, Purgatory, Heaven, the end of time.
   

Obviously, some weeks may need pruning, and possibly others expanding. Have I missed anything key (and if so, what should be replaced by it?)? Should I adjust the order?

Update: You can find the text of the Nicene creed here.
