We Believe in One God the Father Almighty — The Nicene Creed and Genesis 1

In this second episode of our Nicene Creed series, Pastor Ian Thompson explores the opening declaration of the Creed: “We believe in one God, the Father Almighty.” Rooted in the reading from Genesis 1, this sermon shows how the Bible reveals God as both sovereign Creator and loving Father, the One who brings order out of chaos and speaks light into the darkness.This teaching examines the Creed’s insistence on one God in a world filled with competing spiritualities, idols, and modern forms of self‑made religion. Drawing from Reformed theology and the biblical doctrine of creation, Pastor Ian explains how God’s almighty power is not cold or distant, but deeply personal, fatherly, and covenantal.Listeners will discover how Genesis 1 establishes the foundation for Christian faith:God alone creates, commands, and sustains all thingsGod reveals Himself as Father through His works and His WordGod’s almightiness is expressed in purpose, order, and goodnessThe Creed protects the Church from false views of God—ancient and modernThis sermon offers clarity, encouragement, and a firm grounding in historic Christian doctrine for believers seeking to understand why the Church confesses one God, the Father Almighty.
