John Driver explores the next line of the Apostles' Creed: "From there he [Christ] will come to judge the living and the dead." These topics can easily cause obsession over times, dates, and possible ways events might happen, as well as fear of God's judgment. But we can become joyfully grounded in the simplicity of Jesus's promise to come again, as well as His decision to experience the judgment we deserve, meaning we are not longer appointed for wrath, but for a fullness of life that never ends.

John Driver addresses the next stanza from the Apostles' Creed: [Jesus] was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead." The cross is the place where all things intersect— heaven and earth, sin and rightness, despair and hope, life and death. The work that Jesus did on the cross and in unseen places during His death eventually led to the ultimate moment that secured life for us that never has to end: His resurrection. In this way, the cross (literally in Latin, "crux") truly is the crux of our faith.

Today, Pastor Andrew dives into the truths encapsulated in the apostles' creed, focusing on the stanza: "and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate." High points include the miraculous conception, His suffering, and how these shape our daily life in Christ.

John Driver kicks off a new series by exploring the ways different people embrace a vast diversity of Christian beliefs, which can lead to confusion and division. The Early Church had the same experiences, which is why they prayerfully developed creeds to help every believer "speak the same thing." This does not mean seeing every facet of faith identically, but rather agreeing upon that which is orthodox and essential so that we can together hold to "the hope we profess," and "spur one another on toward love and good deeds.

Today Pastor Andrew takes a dive into what it means to slow down and allow creation to speak to us and just how far that creation goes. Allowing those things which God created to feed our souls, strengthen our hearts, and purify our minds.

John Driver explores the story of ten men with leprosy who were healed by Jesus, but only one slowed down long enough to return and say "thank you." It is all too easy for us to get so caught up in the pace of life that nine times out of then, we also don't return to give God thanks for His goodness towards us. But as we will learn, gratitude is one of the gateways to taking hold of that which is truly life, no matter how big or small the circumstances of our daily temporal lives may be.

aIn the penultimate message of the series, John Driver explores how our own developmental stories affect the practices we adopt— and how the story of the gospel leads us out of stagnation and into and into fresh newness in our practices so that we can consistently approach the Lord's table on a regular basis with humility and wonder.
