Spring is in the air—but it often feels like we’re living in the middle of a blizzard.

There’s so much noise, so many voices swirling around us, it can be hard to know which way is forward. In his book A Hidden Wholeness, Parker Palmer shares a story about Midwest farmers who would prepare for sudden, blinding snowstorms by tying a rope from their back door to their barn. That rope was their lifeline—without it, they could easily get lost just steps from home. Many didn’t make it back, not because they were far, but because they lost their grip.

That story resonates deeply in our current moment. It’s easy to feel disoriented by all that’s happening around us. But the early followers of Jesus knew they needed a rope—a way to hold fast to what matters most. One of those ropes handed down through history is the Nicene Creed, a powerful declaration of what Christians believe. It’s not just words—it’s a guide that leads us home.

This Sunday, as we continue celebrating the season of Eastertide, we’re launching a brand-new series: Sound Doctrine: Defining Christian in a Noisy World.

We’ll be looking at this powerful Creed drawn from the Bible from passages like Ephesians 4:1–6. Paul offers a compelling vision of unity and truth in the midst of chaos to provide an anchor. Our world is hungry for the joy, peace, and hope found in Christ—but the gospel is only believable if we proclaim and embody it.
