Why the Nicene Creed Matters (And Why We’re Using It on Sundays) | Ash Wednesday Sermon
Why confess the Nicene Creed instead of the Apostles’ Creed?

At the Council of Nicaea, the Church confronted the false teaching of Arius, who claimed that Jesus was not truly God but a created being.

Later, at the First Council of Constantinople, the Church clarified the full divinity and personhood of the Holy Spirit.
