Enlightenment of the Apostles’ Creed in an Age of Counterfeits
The Apostles’ Creed was born from the apostles’ teachings. It contains essential doctrines and beliefs that summarize the gospel and the foundation of our faith. The scriptural truths contained in the creed enable us to build our Christian lives on good theology, so that our faith is rooted in truth and a rich history. Traditionally used as a public confession before baptism, the creed was understood as an act of turning away from previous pagan beliefs, fully accepting apostolic teaching and identifying new believers with the faith community.
The purpose of this course is to dive deeply into what Christians believe, why we believe it, and how to apply our beliefs in a life of informed, active, and practicing discipleship through an in-depth examination of the primary tenets of Christianity. As the essence of what we confess and believe, it points to the authoritative Word of God, leading to greater clarity on our Christian faith and a more profound sense of belonging in the kingdom of God.
