We Believe In | One God, the Father, the Almighty - Brent Parsley

from Promised Land Messages · host Promised Land Church

What does it really mean to believe in one God, and why does that matter for everyday life?In this episode, we explore the opening confession of the Nicene Creed: “We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.” While those words may sound familiar, they carry a radical claim, that God alone is sufficient, and that everything else in life is meant to flow from Him, not replace Him.This conversation looks at why ancient cultures believed you needed many gods to survive and why the Christian faith insisted that one God was enough. Along the way, we examine how modern forms of idolatry still shape our lives today, often showing up as misplaced trust in relationships, success, security, or control.This episode addresses big, honest questions many of us carry:Why do good things still leave us feeling empty?Why does life feel so heavy if God is supposed to be enough?What happens when we confuse the gifts of life with the true source?Rooted in Scripture and shaped by the historic Christian faith, this episode offers a hopeful invitation: you don’t have to carry the weight of being your own source or writing your own story.If you’re longing for clarity, peace, and a deeper trust in God, this conversation is for you.
