Legacy Church Colorado

A message from our series, "I Believe," where we carefully examine and unpack the Apostles' Creed. What does it mean? Why do we believe it?

In this message from Legacy Church in Boulder, Colorado, Alex Rowan walks through the fourth article of the Apostles’ Creed: “suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.” Why does the creed skip Jesus’ teachings and miracles and focus on the details of His death? And what do those details reveal about who God is and what He has done for us?

Key questions: Can God truly suffer? Why is Pontius Pilate named in the creed? Why did Jesus die by crucifixion and burial specifically? How should the humility of Jesus shape the way we live?

Scripture: Hebrews 5:8–10; Hebrews 4:15–16; Isaiah 53:5; Mark 10:45; Hebrews 10:12; Romans 6:23; Galatians 3:13; Luke 23:46; 1 Corinthians 15; Philippians 2:5–8

In this message: the Apostles’ Creed, the suffering of Jesus, God who sympathizes with us, the historical reality of Jesus, Pontius Pilate, crucifixion, atonement, the full humanity of Christ, burial, humility, and following Jesus.

This message continues Legacy Church’s I Believe series on the Apostles’ Creed, following the previous week’s message on Jesus’ conception and birth and pointing ahead to the resurrection in the weeks to come.

A message from our series, "I Believe," where we carefully examine and unpack the Apostles' Creed. What does it mean? Why do we believe it?

In this message from Legacy Church in Boulder, Colorado, we look at the Apostles’ Creed line “conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary” and recover the awe of the incarnation. The eternal Son of God became fully human without ceasing to be God, and that raises a personal question: what will you do with Jesus?

Key questions: How was Jesus conceived by the Holy Spirit? Did Jesus begin to exist when Mary became pregnant? What does it mean that Jesus is truly God and truly man? If the eternal Son came all the way down for us, can we keep Him at arm’s length?

Scripture: John 1:14; Luke 1:35; John 1:1; Galatians 4:4; Luke 2:7; Hebrews 2:14, 17; Philippians 2:6–7

In this message: the virgin birth, conceived by the Holy Spirit, the mystery God leaves unanswered, the eternal Son and the incarnation, Jesus fully God and fully man, God coming to us first, and responding to Jesus’ call to “follow me.”

This message continues Legacy Church’s series on the Apostles’ Creed, which looks at each article of the faith, and points ahead to next week’s article: Jesus “suffered, was crucified, died, and was buried.”

A message from our series, "I Believe," where we carefully examine and unpack the Apostles' Creed. What does it mean? Why do we believe it?

At Legacy Church in Boulder, Colorado, Alex Rowan unpacks two phrases from the Apostles' Creed, "His only son" and "our Lord," showing how Scripture presents Jesus as uniquely God's Son and as Yahweh Himself. The message asks a searching question: if we say Jesus is Lord, is He actually the center of our lives, or have we settled for an unchanged life?

Key questions: What does it mean that Jesus is God's only Son? Why does "Lord" mean far more than "master"? Is Jesus really Lord over every part of my life?

Scripture: John 3:16–18; John 5:18–24; John 1:12, 14, 18; Acts 2:22–28; Romans 10:9–13; Luke 6:46; Matthew 28:19–20; 2 Corinthians 13:5; Colossians 1:13–14; Philippians 1:6; 1 Corinthians 6:19–20

In this message: Jesus as God's only Son, why this claim was radical for Jews and Romans, the Hebrew names Adonai and Yahweh, Jesus as Lord, believing versus living accordingly, self-examination, obeying Jesus' teachings, entering the kingdom of God, and surrendering every area of life.

This message continues Legacy Church's teaching series through the Apostles' Creed, moving through the section on Jesus after last week's look at "in Jesus Christ."

A message from our series, "I Believe," where we carefully examine and unpack the Apostles' Creed. What does it mean? Why do we believe it?

In this message from Legacy Church in Boulder, Colorado, we look at the creed's small but far-reaching word "and" and the phrase "Jesus Christ." How did devout Jews, committed to one God, come to worship Jesus as Lord and God? And what difference does that conviction make in our lives today?

Key questions: Why is there an "and" after "maker of heaven and earth"? What led the earliest disciples to conclude Jesus is God? If Jesus really is God, how should that change the way we live?

Scripture: John 20:24–29; John 1:35–39; 1 John 1; Hebrews 1:3–4; Colossians 1:15–17; John 3:16; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 8

In this message: Thomas's confession "My Lord and my God," the deity of Jesus, Jewish monotheism and the early church, Jesus' authority, claims, and acceptance of worship, God becoming human, eternal life, restoration and redemption, honest doubt, and following Jesus as a lifelong journey.

This message is part of Legacy Church's series on the Apostles' Creed, following "I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth," with the next message turning to "His only Son, our Lord."

In this message from Legacy Church in Boulder, Colorado, Brian Hays continues the Apostles' Creed series by unpacking the phrase "I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth." He explores what it means that God's power is unbounded and unrivaled, and that everything that exists—visible and invisible—was created by Him and finds its meaning only in relation to Him. He also addresses the tension between wanting certainty in our circumstances and choosing to trust a Father whose purposes can never be thwarted.

Key questions: What does it mean that God is "almighty," and how is that different from any power we witness in creation? If God made everything, what does that say about the goodness and worth of the physical world, our bodies, and our lives? Can we trust God's care for us even when we don't have certainty about how things will turn out?

Scripture: Genesis 1:1; Colossians 1:16; Job 42:2; Psalm 115:3; Jeremiah 32:27 (suggested reading: Psalm 8; Psalm 19)

In this message: the Apostles' Creed, God's almighty power, creation and its goodness, trusting God amid uncertainty, God as Father, meaning and purpose found in the Creator, resting in God's unshakable purposes, and surrender over control.

This is the third message in Legacy Church's teaching series through the Apostles' Creed, following earlier weeks on genuine belief and God as Father, and building toward the truths about Christ and the church still to come.

In this message from Legacy Church in Boulder, Colorado, Brian Hays continues the series through the Apostles' Creed by unpacking its next phrase: "I believe in God the Father." What does it mean that God was Father before He was ever Creator, and why does that change how Christians understand their own identity, worth, and belonging?

Key questions: What does it mean for God to be Father, not just Creator? Are we tolerated by God or truly adopted into His family? How does believing in God as Father change the way we live and understand ourselves?

Scripture: Ephesians 1:4; James 2:19; John 17:5; Psalm 8:3–4; John 1:12; Matthew 11:28–29; Galatians 2:20

In this message: the Apostles' Creed, God as Father, adoption as sons and daughters, biblical belief versus casual agreement, identity in Christ, legalism versus cheap grace, and surrender as a response to belonging.

In this opening message from Legacy Church in Boulder, Colorado, Brian Hays begins a 13-week journey through the Apostles’ Creed by exploring the meaning of its first two words: “I believe.” What does it mean to genuinely believe in Jesus—not simply agreeing with facts, but trusting Him enough to follow, surrender, and be transformed?

Key questions: What is biblical belief? Can faith be personal without being private? If we truly believe Jesus is Lord, how should that belief change the way we live?

Scripture: Romans 10:9–10; Romans 6:3–4; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Hebrews 11:1–8; Deuteronomy 6:4–9

In this message: the Apostles’ Creed, biblical faith, belief and trust, discipleship, surrender, obedience, spiritual transformation, baptism, and following Jesus.
This message begins Legacy Church’s 13-week teaching series through the Apostles’ Creed, exploring foundational Christian beliefs and what it means to live as people who truly believe.
