Credo – Week 2 | One Lord Jesus Christ

When everything feels like it’s slipping through your fingers—jobs, relationships, a fragile middle-class security—you can start living by grabbing: more stuff, more status, more control. That scramble leaves many people treating faith like another checklist to manage instead of a person to trust. This sermon names that anxious grasping and the emptiness it leaves behind. Drawing on an ancient creed and the hymn in Philippians, the message shows a surprising opposite of grasping: the God who becomes human, empties himself, and holds us by giving himself away. Rather than a moral program or a strategy for success, Jesus is presented as the one who reorders our lives by his self-giving—Lord in the most literal, rescuing sense. Hear how those old, carefully chosen words about Christ change what it looks like to stop clutching and start being held.
