In this sermon, Rev. Ben preaches on the earnest prayer of the Apostles–“Increase our faith!” There are some things they get really right in this plea, and some things on which they are missing the mark. Jesus shows them, and us, that faith is not a matter of increase, but of obedience and faithfulness.

In this session of our Nicene Creed Series, Rev. Ben teaches on the second half of the second article of the Creed, on the work of Jesus the Son.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

So if we are to receive the love and power of Jesus in our lives, we must come to Him as sinners in need of His forgiveness, which we know He so freely offers. So Confession and Repentance are the joyful building blocks of the Christian life.
