Acts 17:16-34

Many people in our day believe that the universe, life on planet earth, and human beings all came into being apart from a Divine Creation. They point to the Big Bang theory and evolution to explain the origins of our universe and the human race. In stark contrast, the very first words of the Bible set forth God's clear declaration on this issue: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

Acts 17:16-34

The Apostles' Creed begins with the statement, "I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth." Both this ancient confession of faith, as well as the very Word of God itself, begin with a clear and unambiguous declaration of God as the mighty and omnipotent creator of heaven and earth. Do you acknowledge the Lord as your sovereign, almighty Creator?

Romans 1:16-23

Who and what we worship will determine how we live, and how we live will ultimately reveal who and what we worship. God's Word reveals to us His nature and character, not through human imagination but by divine revelation. We learn that He is One God in Three Persons, He is our heavenly Father, He is Almighty, and He is holy – truths we affirm in the Apostles' Creed.

Romans 1:16-23

There is a striking ignorance in professing Christendom, about who God is – His essential nature, character, and attributes.

Ephesians 2:1-10

The Bible teaches that there is a faith that overcomes the world – but there is also a faith that is ultimately overcome BY the world. This is the difference between true saving faith and counterfeit, false faith. What are the five key distinctives of genuine saving faith in Jesus Christ?

1 Timothy 3:14-4:2

A high school graduate who wants to be a doctor cannot immediately begin a hospital residency. He must first go to college and start with the basics like Biology 101 and Anatomy 101. Well, Christians who want to advance to the deeper, more complex doctrines of the faith must first start with Christianity 101 – the basic, essential, foundational doctrines summarized in the Apostles' Creed.

1 Timothy 3:14-4:2

The Apostles’ Creed is a gift of God’s Providence to His Church containing essential foundations of the faith once and for all delivered to the saints. It has served as an instrument of discipleship, confession, and unity since the earliest days of Christianity. Join us today as we begin our new series examining The Apostles' Creed in Biblical Perspective.

Luke 2:22-40

The Holy Spirit had revealed to Simeon that he would see the promised Messiah before he died. When he finally saw the infant Jesus, he immediately recognized Him as the One he was eagerly awaiting and anticipating. He took Jesus up in his arms, rejoiced, and praised God. When you behold the Lord Jesus Christ, do you recognize Him as your Messiah, and praise God for the gift of His Son?
