2025 marks the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. On this weeks podcast we are sharing an Introduction to the Nicaean creed which has been prepared by the team at Knock Shrine in which Fr Martin Browne OSB gives an introduction to the history and context of the Council and its significance to all Christians right down to the present day. In part one we have a run through the up coming liturgical odds and ends for the week ahead including saints of the week and some notices around preparations for Advent. In part three as always we have our reflection on the Sunday gospel which is Luke's account of the Crucifixion which is the reading for the Solemnity of Christ the King.  1700th Anniversary of the Council of NicaeaOn May 20, the Christian world commemorated the 1700th anniversary of the opening of the first ecumenical council, held in Nicaea in 325, which has gone down in history primarily on account of the Creed, which brings together, defines, and proclaims the faith in salvation in Jesus Christ and in the One God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Later completed by the Council of Constantinople in 381, the Nicene Creed became in practice the identity card of the professed faith of the Church. This pivotal moment in the history of the Church still shapes what we believe, how we pray, and how we understand God today.As part of the commemoration, Knock Shrine has put together a series of videos exploring the Council and the parts of the creed. In this first episode, Fr Eugene Duffy and Fr Martin Brown OSB go through the history of the council and tease out its significance for the history of Christianity.Text us at +353 874668950 or email at comeandseeinspirtaions@gmail.com

As we begin to wrap up our Temple Talk series on the Nicene Creed, Pastor Olson talked about the meaning and significance of the phrase, "one baptism".

A brief pause in our Nicene Creed miniseries (fret not, it returns next week!) to talk about *clears throat, scary voice ensues* THE HOLIDAYS.Ok look: we agree. Jesus IS the reason for the season. We're on the precipice of tHe HoLiDaYs and all the madness therein. It's so easy to get sucked into the capitalist machine of Christmas and miss ... Christ. But so much of the energy around "Jesus is the Reason" also feels treacherously coded. How do we navigate this ourselves? And how do we teach our kids that Jesus is the reason, while keeping a sense of wonder and magic alive? How do we do so in a way that engenders respect for people of other faiths and none? We pose these questions with the wonderful Meredith Miller, expert in raising kids with a faith they don't need to heal from. More about Pastor Meredith: Website: https://meredithannemiller.comBook: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/meredith-miller/woven/9781546004356/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meredithannemiller/?hl=en+++Like what you hear?

The Christian church as described by the Nicene Creed is one, holy, universal, and apostolic. Do we live up to those descriptions? God has called us to stand out among the world and treat each other differently. We are meant to be united and unique.

2025 marks the 1700th Anniversary of the formulation of the Council of Nicaea, which was a theological council to address theological issues in the churches around the world. The Council delivered to us a formulation of the Nicene Creed which is a summary of the New Testament priorities about the Christian faith. Through various Biblical passages, we are going to consider the points of the Nicene Creed hoping to discover the essential uniting truths of the Christian faith in order to make life decisions based upon Christian convictions that may challenge cultural interpretations and assumptions.

Preacher: Darren McKinnis  John 17:20-23 "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one — 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.  Ephesians 4:2-6 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called ; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 

Speaker - Sam Romijn

We wrap up our study of the Nicene Creed, looking at the section that tells us about the Holy Spirit, and how it helped guide the teaching of the truth of Jesus.

In a world where spiritual claims come from every direction—podcasts, platforms, pulpits, and social feeds—it's becoming harder to discern what's truly biblical. Many ideas sound close to Christianity yet miss the mark in ways that quietly reshape what we believe about Jesus.If you've ever heard something that didn't sit right with you, you're not alone—and your instincts matter. And believe it or not… Christians were fighting these same battles 1,700 years ago.In this Candid reflection, Dr. Jonathan Youssef takes us back to one of the most defining moments in church history: the Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325). As the Council marks its 1,700th anniversary, Jonathan invites you into the story behind the Nicene Creed —a confession that has anchored generations of believers in the truth as heresy spread like wildfire.Learn how a single false idea about Jesus sparked a worldwide crisis, why the early Church gathered to defend the truth, and how the creed they forged continues to safeguard our faith today. This isn't dusty theology or ancient trivia. It's the foundation on which your understanding of Jesus' divinity, incarnation, resurrection, and His return still rests.Jonathan also guides you through the creed itself, and together, you'll rediscover why these ancient words still matter today.Vital Questions Answered by this Reflection:Why was the early Church gathered in Nicaea, and what was at stake?What was the Arian controversy, and why did it threaten the heart of the Gospel?How does the Nicene Creed boldly declare the eternal divinity of Jesus?Why does the creed still matter in a world of spiritual influencers and modern heresies?How does confessing ancient truth form a deeper, richer worship life today?Why is grounding your faith in who Jesus truly is the most urgent task of every believer?If You Enjoyed This Episode:Subscribe & Share:If this episode inspired you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with others.Follow Candid Conversations on social media:Instagram: @candidpodTikTok: @officiallycandidpodYouTube: @CandidPod 

The Nicene Creed is the definitive statement defining Christianity for most Christians, around the world, throughout most of time. Love it or hate it, the Creed binds us together. And since our entire project at And Also With You is reclaiming an ancient Christian faith for modern Christian life, we thought it time to dive deep into this Creed -- to show how this 1700 year old prayer holds up and how we are following it still today. And it opens with a banger: We believe in One God. But in... three persons? What does that mean, exactly? How does faith in the Trinity inform our life? Like, does it matter that we say this? (It clearly does, we say it a lot but ... why?) +++Like what you hear?

The Nicene Creed

Transcript:Hello, this is Pastor Don of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome The Kingdom Perspective. The year 2025 marks a hugely significant moment in the history of the Church. Seventeen hundred years earlier, Christian leaders from all over the Roman Empire met freely and openly for the first time to affirm the Scriptural and longstanding teaching of the Lordship of Jesus Christ. In the decade leading up to that moment, controversy had broken out in the church of Alexandria, Egypt. An influential leader named Arius began teaching that, though Jesus was divine, He was not on the same level as God the Father. He was merely the first created being who in turn created everything else.  This heresy contradicted the clear teaching of Scripture—namely that there is only one Creator God (Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6) and that Jesus was that Creator and, thus, worthy of worship (Colossians 1:15, John 1:1-3). In the summer of AD 325, these Christian leaders, many of whom bore scars of persecution for their fidelity to Christ, gathered and hammered out a public statement, faithfully articulating the teaching of the Apostles and, indeed, of Jesus Himself. They accurately reminded the church that the pre-incarnate Son of God is “begotten not made”—that He is “of the same essence” or nature as the Father (Hebrews 1:3; Phil 2:1-11), fully sharing in the very being of the Father. Thus, there are not multiple divine beings but only one. The Son is “true God from true God”. There are not a hierarchy of gods, but only One who exists eternally in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The impact of this clarification cannot be overestimated, for it provided a clear framework for a transformative way of looking at life and relationships, both in the church and in the world. And that's something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!”~Philippians 2:5-8 (NIV) “In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.”~ Hebrews 1:1-3 (NIV) The Nicene Creed of AD 325We believe in one God, the Father almighty,maker of all things visible and invisible; And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God,begotten from the Father, only-begotten,that is, from the essence of the Father,God from God, light from light,true God from true God, begotten not made,of one essence with the Father,through Whom all things came into being,things in heaven and things on earth,Who because of us men and because of our salvation came down,and became incarnate and became man, and suffered,and rose again on the third day, and ascended to the heavens,and will come to judge the living and dead, And in the Holy Spirit. But as for those who say, There was when He was not,and, Before being born He was not,and that He came into existence out of nothing,or who assert that the Son of God is of a different hypostasis or essence,or created, or is subject to alteration or change –these the catholic and apostolic Church anathematizes.

There are two major doctrines in this section of the creed: the ascension of Christ and the second coming of Christ.

The Nicene Creed is *the* definitive statement of faith for what Christianity is for most Christians, around the world, throughout most of time. Love it or hate it, the Creed binds us together. And since our entire project at And Also With You is reclaiming an ancient Christian faith for modern Christian life, we thought it time to dive deep into this Creed -- to show how this 1700 year old prayer holds up and how we are following it still today. But the fact that we HAVE a creed (other religions don't really do this) and that is came from these series of big ol' committee meetings is actually a really fascinating thing to unpack, for for our first of twelve episodes exploring the Creed, we're delighted to welcome Dr. Hannah Black, Ph.D. to orient us to the Creed as a historical and spiritual document. More about Dr. Hannah Black, Ph.D.: Dr. Hannah Black earned her PhD in Divinity from the University of Cambridge in 2023, with her doctoral dissertation entitled “Gregory of Nyssa's Soteriological Imaginary as a Resource for Nonviolent Soteriology.” Dr. Black's doctoral research will be published as a book in the near future, which will focus on how Gregory of Nyssa's use of biblical imagery can be used to build upon feminist and womanist critiques of violent atonement theology. Dr. Black is also contracted with St. Vladimir's Press to produce a Popular Patristics Series translation of seven short works by Gregory of Nyssa surrounding the theme of the life of virtue.At the University of Cambridge, Dr. Black was the Decani Scholar of Clare College Chapel, where she served as a lay leader in the Church of England. She was also editor of the divinity graduate journal Noesis and founder Women in Divinity. She currently serves on the leadership teams of Theologia and the Feminist Theology Network.Dr. Black has taught at the University of Cambridge, Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, and Yale Divinity School. Her teaching has included the subjects of early Christianity, theology and literature, systematic theology, Greek, and Anglican and Episcopalian history.

We believe in one God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. 

In John chapter 5, Jesus makes one of His most astonishing claims — that God is His Father and that He shares in God's divine authority. In this conversation, Pastor Bill Van Kirk hosts Pastors Jack Guerra and Garet Meyer for a rich discussion about how Jesus' words would have been heard by His original audience, what “Son of Man” from Daniel 7 really means, and how the Trinity reveals both unity and distinction within God.They also reflect on why the Nicene Creed — written over 1,600 years ago — remains a vital declaration of faith for the church today.

For Us and Our Salvation: The Controversy, Content & Comfort of the Nicene Creed Pastor Spencer Snow   Sunday School class recording from November 2, 2025; 9:00am (class 5 of 12)   Class Schedule: 1.  I Believe 2. Father Almighty 3. Only Begotten 4. Same Substance 5. He Came Down 6. He Was Crucified 7. He Ascended 8. Holy Spirit 9. Filioque 10. One Church, One Baptism 11. Resurrection and Life 12. Amen  

The Nicene Creed is an "extra-scriptural" yet foundational document of the Christian faith. In this sermon, Pastor Scott Lambert weaves together history, theology, Scripture, and grace to enhance our understanding of the circumstances surrounding the crafting of this statement of faith and the value it brought to the early church as well as the church today.

Preacher: Kathy Maskell 1 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. Romans 6:4–5 (NIV) "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his." "When Jesus rose, it wasn't just a happy ending—it was the first day of new creation. The powers of sin, death, and empire were defeated from the inside out. Colossians 2:13–15 (NIV) When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Revelation 21:3–5 (NIV): "And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.' He who was seated on the throne said, 'I am making everything new!'"

2025 marks the 1700th Anniversary of the formulation of the Council of Nicaea, which was a theological council to address theological issues in the churches around the world. The Council delivered to us a formulation of the Nicene Creed which is a summary of the New Testament priorities about the Christian faith. Through various Biblical passages, we are going to consider the points of the Nicene Creed hoping to discover the essential uniting truths of the Christian faith in order to make life decisions based upon Christian convictions that may challenge cultural interpretations and assumptions.

What does it really mean to be Catholic?Fr. Matt Lowry walks us through the Nicene Creed and the four marks of the Church — one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic — in a way that's both simple and profound.His reflection invites us to see not just what we profess, but who we belong to: a Church united in love, holiness, and truth.

In this episode, we discuss Pope Leo XIV's first Magisterial document, an Apostolic Exhortation titled "Dilexi te," which focuses on the Roman Catholic Church's mandate to care for the poor. We highlight the theological concerns the document presents for an evangelical reader. We also briefly discuss our recent trip to Istanbul for a conference that commemorated the 1700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed.Support the show

The creed reminds us that Jesus was (and is) truly human. The Son of God assumed a human nature to redeem it.

Just in time for Halloween, we're talking about the spookiest thing of all: HELL. Or better yet - a belief in hell. Christianity's obsession with hell has us missing out on love, freedom, connection, and justice without punishment. We're joined today by bestselling author Brian Recker to talk about hell, how we unravel its chokehold on our faith, and what life can look like free from this fear.  Brian's book Hell Bent is here!Lizzie's book (which we also talk about in this episode) is here! We have one more fun seasonal episode next week before we kick off the much-anticipated miniseries on the Nicene Creed on November 10th! MORE ABOUT BRIAN + HELL BENT:A former evangelical pastor explains why we can stop worrying about hell and start focusing on love.There is a black hole at the center of Christian spirituality: the doctrine of hell. No matter how hard we try to believe in a loving God, the fear of eternal torment always lurks at the back of our minds, warping our sense of what love means. Worse still, many churches act as if the point of Christianity is not to follow Jesus but to secure a get-out-of-hell-free card—and to “save” everyone you know by converting them to your religion. For many of us, the whole story of Christianity has punishment at the very center. But does the Bible really say we're going to hell if we don't do or believe the “right” things?In this taboo-shattering book, former evangelical pastor Brian Recker takes an honest look at scripture and reveals what has been true all along: Hell isn't real, and God's universal love is radically inclusive, in this life and the next. By removing punishment from Christianity's center, Recker boldly reimagines the core questions of faith, such as why Jesus lived and died, and what it means to be “saved.” It's time to rediscover spirituality as Jesus taught it: loving God, and loving our neighbors as ourselves. Whether you're Christian, exvangelical, or anywhere along a deconstruction journey, Hell Bent is the perfect resource to help you replace fear and church hurt with healing and peace. +++Like what you hear?

Equipping Hour | Creeds and Confessions | Nicene Creed by OrlandoGrace

Who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven. If you have been with us the last few weeks in our exploration of the Nicene Creed, you might be asking, “Does all of this really matter?” We have discussed some pretty deep theological ideas. Seems like a lot to think about. Doesn’t doctrine like this divide? We might think that unity is more important than doctrinal clarity. But the bishops at Nicaea knew that the very truth of salvation was at stake. Jesus came into the world to save sinners. God sent Jesus to be born to a virgin mother, live as a man, die at the hands of Pilate, be buried in a real tomb, and then rise again for this purpose, to rescue people. Paul proclaimed this salvation in his preaching, reminding people that Jesus did for us what we could not do for ourselves. And there is salvation no where else and in no other name. To mistake Jesus’ identity and mission is to miss salvation. Furthermore, to have the right doctrine of Jesus, yet fail to authentically believe, is equally damning. Our salvation is the reason Jesus came. Our invitation is to believe the good news and be rescued.

Andy Barefoot concludes our series called We Believe, looking at the final part of the Nicene Creed and 'the hope of the world to come'. Sunday October 26th, 2025.

How does the Nicene Creed unite believers from East and West? This episode of The Missions Podcast—in collaboration with Cedar Crest Bible Fellowship Church's Captivate & Conform podcast—features Dr. Don Fairbairn, a theologian and former missionary to Soviet Georgia. The conversation explores the intersection of missions, theology, and church history, particularly how the Nicene Creed and patristic theology offer transcultural insight for modern missiology. Dr. Fairbairn shares his journey from seminary to the mission field and how his time in Eastern Europe reshaped his academic focus on Eastern Orthodoxy and early church thought. He emphasizes that the early church's theology was already multilingual and multicultural, forged by African and Asian theologians rather than Europeans—a reminder that Christianity's foundations are inherently global. Fairbairn advocates for retrieving the transcultural truths of the Nicene Creed and a deeper understanding of the relational nature of salvation. Key Topics: The transcultural and multilingual origins of the Nicene Creed Differences between Eastern Orthodox and Western (Protestant) theology The concept of divine acceptance vs. human striving for God How patristic theology informs modern missiology The importance of understanding the Trinity in global missions Do you love The Missions Podcast?
