Credo | The Son | 19 April 2026 | 10am

In this sermon, Shane Dirks explores the Nicene Creed alongside Hebrews 1 to explain the identity of Jesus as fully God and fully human. He outlines how the Creed was formed to guard against false teachings and emphasises that Jesus is “God from God, light from light,” eternally begotten and not created. The message highlights the significance of the incarnation—God becoming truly human—showing that Jesus both reveals God perfectly and understands human weakness. Shane explains that through Jesus’ death, resurrection, and ascension, humanity is reconciled to God, and access to Him is made possible without intermediaries. The sermon ultimately calls listeners to recognise that Jesus is central to knowing God and that who we believe Jesus to be shapes both our present faith and eternal future.

What difference does it make that Jesus can both reveal God and relate to human weakness? How do misunderstandings about Jesus (past or present) affect faith and salvation? In what ways does believing in Jesus change how you approach God personally? Three Things to Take Away Jesus is fully God and fully human, and this truth is essential to Christian faith. Through Jesus, we can truly know God and approach Him with confidence. What we believe about Jesus has eternal significance and shapes our relationship with God.
