In the Spring of 2010, Tyson Guthrie and I worked to create a 24 Day walkthrough of the Nicene Creed (technically the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed of 381). It was originally used as a daily devotional for the Work Crew at Young Life’s Southwind Camp and East Iowa Bible Camp. After fixing a handful of typos and smoothing out some layout issues, we decided to share it here. I’m sure there are plenty of unseen errors, but we hope that you take some time to work through one of Christianity’s great Creeds.

Our Hope for your time with the Nicene Creed
Your time with the Nicene Creed is not over. If you are able to finish it—if you are able to say “Amen,” then you will be living the faith we have been confessing for the last month, for the next month, and for every month after that until the Bridegroom returns. But we hope that a few things have happened in the last month.
- We hope that you grew to know the God who through His Son and by His Spirit has redeemed you.
- We hope you can impress your friends by using the word “consubstantial” in a sentence.
- We hope you discovered the value of sharing your faith, not just with those who don’t believe, but with the “we” that believe it together.
- We hope you memorized the Nicene Creed.
- We hope your Amen can be seen by a watching world who will see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven, through His Son, and by His Spirit.
- Tyson, Jon and the “We” of Christ’s Church
