The Apostles Creed was born from the apostles teachings. It contains essential doctrines and beliefs that summarize the gospel and the foundation of our faith. The scriptural truths contained in the creed enable us to build our Christian lives on good theology  with the knowledge that our faith is rooted in truth and a rich history.  The lines of the creed arent mere words. They are the essence of what we confess and believe. Repeating the creed doesnt make disciples. Incantations dont transform us into better  more effective Christians. Creeds dont hold any authority apart from Scripture  but they do point outside themselves to the authoritative Word of God.  The Apostles Creed was traditionally used as a public confession before baptism. This confession of faith  given as a recitation of the creed  was understood as an act of turning away from previous pagan beliefs and fully accepting apostolic teaching. This profession identified new believers with the community of Christians.  This group study from Matt Chandler and The Village Church leads to greater clarity of our religion  greater symmetry and balance as a disciple  and a more profound sense of belonging in the kingdom of God.
