Not Merely a Symbol: Baptism and Forgiveness

August 2, 2026

This week in Anchored: The Creed for a Confused World, we confess “the forgiveness of sins” and “one Baptism for the remission of sins.” Baptism is not merely a symbol of our commitment. It is God’s promise joined to water and the Word, delivering Christ’s forgiveness, life, and salvation to sinners. Today’s Message: Not Merely a Symbol: Baptism and Forgiveness Series: Anchored: The Creed for a Confused World Scripture: Ezekiel 36:24-28; Acts 2:37-39; Matthew 28:16-20 Online Check-in: https://oursaviorsway.churchcenter.com/check-ins Online Giving: https://oursaviorsway.churchcenter.com/giving


Not My Own Strength: The Holy Spirit and Faith

July 19, 2026

This week in Anchored: The Creed for a Confused World, we confess the Holy Spirit as “the Lord and giver of life.” Faith is not something we generate by our own reason, strength, emotion, or effort. The Holy Spirit calls us by the Gospel, gathers us into the Church, enlightens us with His gifts, and keeps us in the true faith. Today’s Message: Not My Own Strength: The Holy Spirit and Faith Series: Anchored: The Creed for a Confused World Scripture: Ezekiel 37:1-6; 1 Corinthians 12:1-6; Luke 11:9-13


Not Defeated: Cross, Descent, Resurrection, Reign

July 12, 2026

This week in Anchored: The Creed for a Confused World, we address one of the most misunderstood lines of the Apostles’ Creed: “He descended into hell.” Christ’s descent is not unfinished suffering after the cross. It is the proclamation of His victory. The crucified Jesus is not defeated. He has suffered, died, descended in triumph, risen bodily, ascended, and reigns as Lord. Today’s Message: Not Defeated: Cross, Descent, Resurrection, Reign Series: Anchored: The Creed for a Confused World Scripture: Isaiah 53:4-6; 1 Peter 3:18-22; Luke 24:44-53

Not a Lesser god: Jesus, True God

June 28, 2026

This week in Anchored: The Creed for a Confused World, we hear why the Nicene Creed speaks so carefully about Jesus Christ: “God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God.” Jesus is not merely a teacher, prophet, moral example, or highest creature. He is true God from eternity, and only true God can fully save. Today’s Message: Not a Lesser god: Jesus, True God Series: Anchored: The Creed for a Confused World Scripture: Daniel 7:13-14; Hebrews 1:1-4; Matthew 22:41-46
