Having invested a couple of weeks on the importance of the historic creeds and confessions, this week we begin to look at what the church has historically called the Nicene Creed. We begin by offering a thumbnail sketch of the historic context of the creed. There we see its importance for worship, salvation, and our understanding of who God is. Then we look at how to properly use the Creed in the context of the teaching ministry of the church. And finally, we look at the first article of the creed.
