     | 3,352 views

    There are three Ecumenical Creeds which were constructed in the early days of the Church, to communicate Scriptural truth and combat errors. We can use them as tools for evangelism.

    The purpose and value of the Athanasian Creed: ‘all truth’ John 16 v. 13 We are here today because we believe certain things about God and Jesus. If we did not believe them we would be in a different place, a different church. If we did not believe any of them we wouldn’t be in ...read more

    When you read and study the bible you can have the confidence you are studying the very Word of God. The Bible is about a person, Jesus Christ the Messiah and Savior of the world. The Word, Jesus, became flesh and dwelt among us.
