We believe in God ...

12 Sep 2024 • From Bishop Richard Jackson

In this week's video, Bishop Richard begins the first of several forays into the Apostles' Creed.  He says: 'The creeds are the culmination of a work of discernment between right and wrong understandings of God.'  

'The Apostles' Creed starts with the glorious affirmation: I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.  Behind everything is the personal God....  Not only is God personal and therefore the fundamental thing about being human is relational, but he is the creator: he lies behind everything.'

'By nature of God’s authorship, we have purpose and know we are loved.  This is not an arid, dogmatic assertion, simply for theological discussion.  We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.  Because He is, we are.  Life has meaning, purpose and significance.  This is the reality that is a foundation for life...'.
