This week we study the final phrase of the Creed: “I believe in the Life Everlasting.”
As we move toward the end of the Creed, the perspective shifts to the future. The Creed begins with the very start of the history of the world, and now it moves toward history's conclusion. The world will end, the Creed affirms, not with destruction, not with an apocalypse, but with “the resurrection of the body.” What does that really mean?
We’ll spend some time this Sunday unpacking the phrase of the Creed, “The Forgiveness of Sin.” With this phrase, we are affirming who we are—God’s forgiven people—and we are also affirming what God calls us to do in the world—enact the love and forgiveness of Christ to others.
This Sunday we’ll continue with our series on the Apostles’ Creed by looking at the phrase “The Communion of Saints.” Rick Hutton will be preaching on the church as a community of believers.
This week, Erin Rose will lead us as we examine the phrase from the Apostles’ Creed, “I believe in the holy catholic church.”
In the final section of the Creed, we shift to the third Person of the Trinity: the Holy Spirit. Everything that we will look at from now on in the Creed is in some ways an outworking of the theology of the Spirit. The Spirit is the one who makes the Christian life possible, who makes the church possible, who makes a life of hope and courage possible.
This phrase of the Apostles’ Creed is probably the scariest one of all. Judgment. We are offered both a sobering reminder that the way we live matters, as well as a great consolation, knowing that we wait for Jesus to come and set things right.
We don’t often think about the ascended Jesus at God’s right hand, but the apostle Paul seems to think that focusing on the ascended Jesus is the key to life. We’ll look at how this phrase in the creed, “he sits at the right hand of the Father,” helps us take on a new mindset, fixing our eyes on the ascended Jesus and the way our identity is bound up in him.
This week in our study of the Apostles’ Creed, we come to the phrase “he ascended into heaven.” Esther Choi will lead us as we explore why believing in the ascension matters.
On Easter Sunday we come to what is perhaps the most important phrase in the entire creed, “on the third day, he rose again from the dead.” Join us as Corey Widmer, Fakhri Yacoub, and Erin Rose explore this phrase on Easter.
What do we learn about this person Jesus in this phrase from the creed this week? Simply put, he suffered. That word suffered does not just describe the end of his life, but the whole of his life. From start to finish, Jesus was a man who was “familiar with suffering,” familiar with our world and our reality. We’ll explore this together this weekend.
This week, we’ll be looking at the Virgin Birth and how it is not just some random miracle. It is the foundation of our belief that Jesus is both fully God and fully human, fully divine and fully enmeshed in the pains and sufferings of this world.
At the very center of the Christian faith is not a set of ideas or a religious theory of reality or even a way of life. At the very center of our faith is a Person. We will be looking at how our belief in Jesus as Lord is a radical one, and one that gives us both comfort and challenge.
This week, we’ll unpack the wonderful biblical theology in the phrase “maker of heaven and earth” and what it says about creation and its implications for our lives.
This week we come to the first significant phrase in the creed, “I believe in God the Father Almighty.” It immediately names a specific God: the God who is the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, and a God who is “almighty.” These few words tell us so much about the God we worship, and we’ll explore that together this week.
We begin a new series this week looking at Apostles’ Creed and the core foundational components of our faith, as laid out through this ancient expression of our beliefs.
