Its most used form is: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary ...
We've been attending a church recently that always uses an ancient statement of belief (the Apostles' Creed) in its services. One line in it says something about Jesus descending into Hell after His death, and this confuses me. Why didn't He go to heaven after His death?

Stories. God Made You Alive With Christ. On the Saturday after Jesus was crucified, His followers must have felt utterly defeated.

The psalmist was right: “The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple” (Psalm 119:130). Our journey through life is filled with all kinds of pitfalls and temptations, and unless we allow our minds and hearts to be shaped by ...
A: Matthew 16:13-18 has been the focus of a great deal of theological discussion, especially concerning Jesus’ words to Peter, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church” (verse 18).

Josh Holland, Crusade Associate for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, shares some biblical insight about the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to work through us to be witnesses for Christ. The Bible tells us that Jesus didn’t immediately go to heaven after He ...
Another reason, I suspect, is because they were overwhelmed with disappointment by Jesus’ arrest. They had hoped He would overcome the power of the Roman government and establish a new kingdom, and now their hopes of this vanished. They were also filled with fear for their own future. It’s easy to condemn those disciples—but how often ...
