In this third episode of our Nicene Creed series, Pastor Ian Thompson continues exploring the Creed’s opening declarations by focusing on the phrase: “Maker of heaven and earth.” Building on the foundation laid in Genesis 1, this sermon examines what it means for Christians to confess that God is not only Father and Almighty, but also the Creator of all things visible and invisible.

This teaching highlights how the biblical doctrine of creation shapes the entire Christian worldview. Pastor Ian shows how Scripture presents creation as purposeful, ordered, and good—an expression of God’s wisdom, power, and fatherly care. The sermon also addresses modern challenges to the doctrine of creation, including materialism, naturalism, and the loss of meaning in contemporary culture.

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of:

• Why the Creed insists that God alone is the Creator
• How creation reveals God’s character, glory, and covenant love
• The difference between biblical creation and secular origin stories
• How the doctrine of creation anchors Christian identity and hope
• Why the Church must continue to confess God as Maker in every generation

This episode offers a rich, accessible, and theologically grounded exploration of the God who speaks worlds into being and sustains them by His Word.
