The Nicene Creed 12: What does catholic mean? Today we come to the end of our study of The Nicene Creed by considering the last three lines which deal with the nature of the church, baptism and the end of the age. What does it mean that the church is catholic? Also, do I have to be baptized to be saved? We’ll cover all that and more in today’s episode! Read the Nicene Creed along with us @ covenan...

The Nicene Creed 11: The Council of Constantinople As we near the end of our study of the Nicene Creed, we look at the second ecumenical church council, held in 381 in Constantinople. This council expanded the original creed to include a more robust section on the Holy Spirit and the church. Once again, though, the bishops who attended the council faced a heretical threat. This time it was not Ari...

The Nicene Creed 10: Filioque? Today we begin looking at the final section of the Creed which primarily deals with the Holy Spirit. We’ll consider not only what the creed says about the Spirit, but we will also try to make sense of the Latin word “filioque” which was added to the creed by the western church in the 6th century. Who is the Holy Spirit and where does He come from? Read the Nicene Cre...

The Nicene Creed 9: Coming Back From the Brink Following the rulings of the Council of Nicaea and the subsequent exile of prominent clergy, it would have appeared as if the Arian heresy was over and done with. However, the Arians not only returned from exile, many of them also returned to power within the church. This time, though, they had a powerful ally in the new Roman emperor. This week we ex...

The Nicene Creed 8: Actual Death As we complete our look at the center section of The Nicene Creed, dealing with the Son, we consider the creed's language surrounding the death of Christ. We also compare and contrast the words of Nicaea with the words of the older Apostles Creed. What we learn is that Jesus' death and resurrection are historically rooted and literal in nature. Read the Nicene Cree...

The Nicene Creed 7: The Church and the State What happens when a powerless, persecuted offshoot of Judaism gains power, prominence and freedom virtually overnight? Today, we explore how Christianity went from living in the shadows to being the official state religion of Rome. Read the Nicene Creed along with us @ covenantshreveport.org/creeds —- Join us as this Lent as we explore the historic Nice...

The Nicene Creed 6: He Came Down From Heaven The middle section of The Nicene Creed is all about Jesus...who he is, why he came and what he did. Today we continue our exploration by considering these critical factors of Jesus’ advent and comparing the words of the Creed to the words of Scripture.

The Nicene Creed 5: Who is Arius? Arius was a church leader in Alexandria, Egypt who sparked a major church controversy when he claimed that Jesus was a being that God the Father had created. This view is counter to orthodox trinitarianism and the Counsel of Nicaea was primarily formed to deal with the uproar. But, who was Arius? Where did he come from? What exactly did he teach? And why was/is it...

The Nicene Creed 4: The Only Begotten Son One of the biggest tasks in front of the counsel of Nicaea was in developing language to explain how the Father, Son and Spirit could all be one God and not three separate gods. This was primarily in response to the teaching of Arias, who believed that Jesus was a separate being created by God at a point in time. Today, as we look at the second section of...

The Nicene Creed 3: The Counsel of Nicaea The Counsel of Nicaea was the first ever gathering of the worldwide church. Convened by Roman emperor Constantine in 325 AD, the conference was primarily held to address a significant controversy that had come to the surface. Today we explore the state of the church and the conditions that ultimately led to the counsel being assembled. Read the Nicene Cree...
