Copyright November 7, 2021, by Rev. Bruce Goettsche We have argued that the death of Christ is a pivotal event in history because it was through the sacrifice of Christ that the debt for our sins is paid.

Where was Jesus between His death & resurrection? What did Jesus mean when He said, "today you will be with me in paradise?" Today, sermons on the ascension of Christ are plentiful, but sermons on the descent of Christ are few. Yet the Bible contains powerful & encouraging truths concerning the descent of Christ to paradise, to announce victory OVER the kingdom of darkness, & victory FOR the kingdom of God. This announcement of Christ's victory to Hades still speaks to the church on earth today!

There are so many flavors of Christianity. So many denominations, traditions, and emphases. And yet, the vast majority of Christians through history agree on the basic tenets of faith. They all can affirm the Apostle’s Creed, a short declaration composed a few generations after the Bible was finalized. For the next 3 months, we’ll explore the Creed, which can be comforting, challenging, confusing, and surprisingly practical.

Main Point: We believe in the holy catholic church; that is, that God creates and saves a church, that the church is universal, and that God has made and will make her holy.
