You may have heard phrases like "No creed but Christ" and "The Bible alone is my authority." Some churches reject creeds and confessions on this basis, believing they ought to rely solely on the Word of God. But this belief actually misses the whole point of a creed or confession, even to the point of misunderstanding what is the work of theology.

Today, Pastor Nate discusses the nature of creeds and confessions, the Church's need for them, and some Scripture passages that to be understood require the work of theology.

Pastor Nate also introduces a recently released book: Living Hope: Called out of Darkness and Into His Light by Josh Patrick. If you are interested in it, you can find it at: https://himpublications.com/product/living-hope/.
