What is the point of Sunday morning worship? Is it for believers? Seekers? Both? Does it matter whether we're singing hymns with a choir and an organ or raising our hands to contemporary praise songs with guitars and drums?What does the Bible say about it all?Creeds? Responsive readings/liturgy... how often should we be taking communion? Who should be leading singing? Should we even be using instruments? Who says?Evan McClanahan will be repping for "Team Liturgy," and talking about how high church is more than just a preferred style.Mon'Sher Spencer will advocate for a more contemporary "low church" feel and share her own experience as a worship leader in that context.

The Creeds of the Faith Part 6Series: Adult Sunday School - Creeds of the Faith Speaker: Tom SchmidtChristian EducationDate: 8th June 2025

June 7, 2025 Today's Reading: John 14:8-21Daily Lectionary: Numbers 20:22-21:9; Luke 20:45-21:19“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever.” (John 14:16)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The Holy Spirit is God, as much as the Father is God and the Son is God. We confess this truth every time we speak one of the Creeds. But if the Spirit is God, why don't we give as much attention to the Holy Spirit as we do to the Father and the Son?On the one hand, we probably should spend more time thinking about the Holy Spirit and praising Him for all that He does for us. Not only is He God, but we would be lost without the Holy Spirit. Luther reminds us in the Small Catechism that we “cannot by our own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ our Lord or come to Him.” It is the Holy Spirit who grants us saving faith in Jesus.  St. Paul also reminds us that it is only by the Holy Spirit that we can do good works, pleasing in God's sight. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control,” (Galatians 5:22-23). We literally could not be holy to God without the work of the Holy Spirit.But on the other hand, Jesus reminds us that in a way, this is what the Holy Spirit wants. Jesus calls the Spirit the “Helper.” The Holy Spirit acts as our helper by pointing us to Jesus. He directs our attention to Christ because it is Jesus alone who takes on our sinful flesh and suffers and dies for us. The Spirit teaches us all these things about Christ and brings them to our remembrance (John 14:26) by inspiring the prophets and apostles to write the Scriptures for us, and by working through the preaching of God's Word. That is how saving faith is created and sustained in us.Jesus, in turn, leads us to the Father (John 14:6) and shows us the Father's face (John 14:9). That is salvation. The faith of a Christian, the faith that is created by the work of the Holy Spirit, is always centered around Jesus Christ, our Lord.It is certainly good and right to praise God, the Holy Spirit, and acknowledge His work among us. And the best way to do that is to direct our eyes to Jesus and believe in Him. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Almighty and ever-living God, You fulfilled Your promise by sending the gift of the Holy Spirit to unite disciples of all nations in the cross and resurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ. By the preaching of the Gospel spread this gift to the ends of the earth; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. (Collect for Pentecost Eve)- Rev. Aric Fenske, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church and Trinity Lutheran Church in Bear Creek, WI.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.Andrew R. Jones identifies ten lies Satan uses in attempts to dismantle God's people and His kingdom. Find encouragement in God's Word of Truth and remember the final victory we have in our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Who has the authority to decide who's a Christian? The answer might surprise you.Who gets to say who is—or isn't—a Christian? In a time of rising gatekeeping and division, we dig deep into the history, politics, and mysticism behind the question that won't go away. From early church schisms to the Imperial Church's power plays, from accidental Christians to the words of Jesus himself—this episode asks if anyone truly has the authority to decide who belongs.You're invited to wrestle with humility, authority, and what it means to follow the way of Christ beyond creeds and clubs. Join us as we seek a faith rooted in compassion, mystery, and open doors—not locked gates.Thanks for reading!

The Creeds of the Faith Part 4Series: Adult Sunday School - Creeds of the Faith Speaker: Jon HinksonChristian EducationDate: 25th May 2025

Date: Sunday 25 May 2025 // Speaker: Eve Ridgeway // Scripture: John 14:1-14

The famous creeds of Christendom focus solely on who Christ is, including his relationship with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, his resurrection and role in bringing about salvation. But the do not include any of this teachings or personal qualities, or the principles he focused on during his ministry. This show's guest, Russ Hinckley, recognized this and decided to try his hand at creating a new creed, The Christ Creed, that focuses on how he interacted with people, institutions, and types of power during his ministry. For instance, the first two parts of this new creed are "Eat with Everyone" and "Restore Sight and Promote Healing." Russ and LDF host Dan Wotherspoon discuss in depth these and several others emphases in his creed. Each is rich, encouraging us to see in new ways, reminding us to rethink why we act the way we do with each other and the institutional church. Russ's approach is fresh and mixes good scriptural study with experiences from his life.  Listen in on this insightful conversation!

With this episode, John and Ron conclude their series on the creeds. They look briefly at the Athanasian Creed and then discuss the influence of the creeds on several Protestant doctrinal statements. The post The Creeds, pt 5: Impact appeared first on Orthodocs.faith.

Gary discusses recent discussions he's had with people regarding eschatology and creedal authority. It seems that every theological topic of debate can be settled with Bible verses, except eschatology and especially ones about the "Three Questions." The arguments that most of Gary's critics make are circular and based on certain assumptions that aren't actually biblical.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/the-miracle-meaning-of-the-virgin-birthWhat do you know about what Christians actually believe? In this message, we dive into the foundational truths of the Christian faith, exploring the Apostles' Creed and its powerful declaration that “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.” Learn what Scripture teaches about the Trinity and discover how the doctrine of God as Father shapes our identity, prayer, and daily lives.#Lifeblood #GodTheFather #christianfaith  #trinity  #childofgod #faithfuel  #identityinchrist  #bibleteaching  #christianliving  #spiritualgrowth #kingdomfamily NOTES: We must continually revisit the core truths of our faith, for they are the lifeblood that nourishes our relationship with God. - TozerKnowing what we believe is how we suit up for battle. (Ephesians 6) We can't afford silence. (Romans 10)Belonging to the body of Christ requires belief in specific content. (Romans 10) What do you know about what Christians actually believe?Creeds are not replacements for Scripture—they're faithful reflections of it. They help guard the gospel, articulate truth, and pass the faith from generation to generation.“Theologically hollow congregations and pastors may like to think they will bequeath a gospel legacy to the next generation, but the truth is we only pass on what is our passion. New converts and new kids won't think and live and love like mature Christians, let alone be able to articulate the Christian story, if our beliefs rest in a statement of faith on the website, and not in our hearts.” - DeYoungI believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth,And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell.The third day He arose again from the dead.He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. We believe in the Holy Spirit,the holy catholic (universal) church, the communion of saints,the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.I BELIEVEThe Christian understanding of faith includes both knowledge and conviction—the head and the heart working together.Faith involves thinking, learning, and engaging our minds.Conviction is what happens when the truth we know becomes truth we trust.The object of our faith matters more than the strength of our faith. It's not the strength of your faith that saves you. It's the strength of your Savior.I BELIEVE IN GODChristians believe in the eternal, triune God. One God in three persons.The Trinity    1.    There is only one God.    2.    The Father is God.    3.    The Son is God.    4.    The Holy Spirit is God.    5.    The Father is not the Son.    6.    The Son is not the Holy Spirit.    7.    The Holy Spirit is not the Father.There are three persons in the one true and living God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are the same in essence, equal in power and glory.1. There is only one God. (Deut 6:4, Isa 43:10, Mark 12:29)2. The Father, Son, and Spirit are distinct persons. (Luke 3:22)3. Each person is fully God. (1 Cor 8:6, 1 Pet 1:3, John 1:1, Titus 2:13, Heb 1:8, Acts 5:3-4)I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earthWe are children of God, not by right of human birth but by the miracle of divine adoption. John 1:12-13 But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God.If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God's child, and having God as his Father. If this is not the thought that prompts and controls his worship and prayers and his whole outlook on life, it means that he does not understand Christianity very well at all. For everything that Christ taught, everything that makes the New Testament new, and better than the Old, everything that is distinctively Christian as opposed to merely Jewish, is summed up in the knowledge of the Fatherhood of God. “Father” is the Christian name for God. – J.I. Packer2 Corinthians 5:19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them.  Romans 8:15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”Behold, ponder, contemplate—be astonished, smitten and speechless “at the great love the Father has lavished on us. (1 John 3:1)How can you apply the truth that God is your Father?1. Pray like a child, not a performer.2. Love the family you've been adopted into.3. Start your day with the Trinity.

John and Ron take the next step in their series on the creeds by looking at the Chalcedonian definition. Nicaea definitively answered some questions, but it left others wide open. How do the human and divine natures combine in Jesus Christ? How do Christians talk about that? That's where Chalcedon picks [...] The post The Creeds, pt 4: Chalcedon appeared first on Orthodocs.faith.

What's a Christian, anyway? In our 2025 political environment, terms like evangelical begin to lose the meaning they once held, or they require further refinement and definition. Glenn Packiam's new book brings a fresh perspective to this conversation. It turns out the answer lies in the Nicene Creed. This year, the Nicene Creed turns 1,700 years old. This ancient work, built from Scripture and the public life of the ancient church, is often considered part of a “dead” spirituality, especially in traditions which put an emphasis on individual experiences with God. However, Russell and Glenn unpack the depth of personal and congregational meaning within the creed and discuss its power to redefine what Christian means in an environment where the term is constantly changing.  Resources mentioned in this episode or recommended by the guest include: What's a Christian, Anyway?
