Good morning, Community Grace Church Family. As we continue to look closely at a statement of Christian faith we are calling The Creed, we are constantly asking “is this biblical”. Today let’s look at the part of the Apostles Creed that reads… “I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth; and in Jesus Christ his only begotten Son our Lord.”

Colossians 1.16-17 —all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 

Charis Fellowship: We declare that Jesus Christ, the incarnate Word of God as revealed in the Bible, the written Word of God, is the only Savior and Lord.
