Romans 1:1-7 Can Trust the Writings of the Apostles?

Romans 1:1-7 Can Trust the Writings of the Apostles?

Author: Dale Partridge April 9, 2022 Duration: 37:41
The Nicene Creed has been recited by millions of Christians. In fact, Christians still recite the creed all around the world. In the creed, there’s a line that says, “We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.” Now the word “catholic” here simply means universal, not Roman Catholic. That is, the creed states a belief in one church that is holy, universal, and apostolic. What does it mean to have an apostolic church? First and foremost, it means we believe in Gospel doctrine that’s built upon the writings of the twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. But what makes an Apostle? In addition, how can we trust the writings of these twelve Apostles? What validates their authority and how can we be sure that what they are writing is congruent with the teachings of Jesus? In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge confronts these questions as he delivers his sermon on Romans 1:1-7.

Dale Partridge sits down each week to tackle the complex questions that often linger in the minds of believers, moving beyond simple platitudes to explore the substance of faith. In Real Christianity, these aren't abstract debates; they're grounded, practical discussions addressing the theological puzzles and real-life pastoral situations that people actually face. Every episode is a concise, focused conversation, typically wrapping up in ten to fifteen minutes, making it a thoughtful companion for a daily commute or a quiet moment of reflection. You'll hear Dale draw from scripture and lived experience to provide clarity on topics that can feel confusing or overwhelming, all with the aim of making faith feel more accessible and deeply rooted. This podcast cuts through the noise, offering a space where curiosity meets conviction, and where difficult questions are met with thoughtful, biblically-informed perspectives. It’s for anyone seeking a more authentic and understood spiritual life, one honest conversation at a time.
