In this message from our Apostles’ Creed series, Bishop of Wollongong Peter Hayward explores what it means to confess: “He ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.”

At a special confirmation service, Bishop Peter reminds us that turning to Christ is not simply acknowledging a historical figure, but trusting in the risen Lord who intercedes for us right now. His ascension is cosmic in significance — Jesus has finished his saving work, yet he remains actively involved in our lives.

Even in the face of personal struggles, global uncertainty, and the unknown of Christ’s return, we can live with purpose and joy because the final word is victory in Jesus.

📖 Bible Passage: 1 Peter 1:3–8
🎙️ Speaker: Bishop Peter Hayward
📌 Series: The Apostles’ Creed

On the third day He rose again — and that changes everything.

In this sermon from The Apostles’ Creed series, Ethan teaches from 1 Corinthians 15:1–23 and explores why Christians can be confident in the resurrection of Jesus. Paul insists that if Christ has not been raised, our faith is in vain — but because He has risen, we have true and eternal hope.

This hope means storms don’t overwhelm us, death has lost its sting, and we can stand firm in the promise that God is making all things new.

He Suffered Under Pontius Pilate | The Apostles’ Creed

In this sermon, Tim unpacks one of the most sobering lines of the Apostles’ Creed: “He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended to the dead.”

Drawing from Matthew 27:11–54, Tim explores:

• Why Jesus’ death is significant — the reality of his true humanity and what it means for our salvation.
• What Jesus’ death accomplished — redemption, reconciliation, justification, holiness, victory, and more.
• How we now live — as a suffering people, as forgiven and free people, and as heralds of God’s kingdom.

The Creed reminds us that this is our story. Just as ANZAC Day shapes our national memory, the death and resurrection of Jesus shape our Christian identity.
