Sermons - First Evangelical Lutheran Church | El Cajon, CA (LCMS)

Why confess the Nicene Creed instead of the Apostles’ Creed? On this Ash Wednesday, Pastor James Huenink begins a Lenten sermon series on the theology and history of the Nicene Creed—why it was written in AD 325, what problem it was meant to solve, and why it still matters for Christians today. At the Council of Nicaea, the Church confronted the false teaching of Arius, who claimed that Jesus was not truly God but a created being. The bishops gathered to defend what Scripture teaches: that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one God in three persons. Later, at the First Council of Constantinople, the Church clarified the full divinity and personhood of the Holy Spirit.
