We’re beginning Advent by returning to the center of Christian belief: the Nicene Creed. In a world full of noise, opinions, and spiritual confusion, the Creed serves as a rope that guides us back to truth—just as it has for the Church for 1700 years.

This week, Evan unpacks the opening line: “We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth.” Looking to the Shema in Deuteronomy 6, we explore why God gave His people a creed in the first place—how it forms our loyalty, shapes our daily habits, guards us from forgetfulness, and anchors us in the true God rather than the many “other gods” competing for our worship.

As we enter Advent, we’re invited to REMEMBER God’s goodness, REPEAT the Creed as a practice, and RETURN to wholehearted obedience. Join us as we move toward Christmas by confessing the faith that leads us to Jesus, the Light from Light.
