Hillsong Church London logo (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Ephesians 1:1 “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God , To the saints who are in Ephesus , and are faithful in Christ Jesus” ( v. 1 ). The biblical doctrine of the church can be found summarized in the Nicene Creed , which confesses belief in “ one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church .” Hillsong Australia released a new DVD entitled: No Other Name with one particular song entitled: The Creed. This song put the words of the creed to an amzing tune.  The church cannot be truly one unless it is united in the truth.

All who believe the Gospel are one in Christ Jesus the Lord. Hillsong seeks to break that divide. Holiness is the second attribute of the church d...

Carl delivered a message about the church 's humble beginnings and the importance of remaining close to God through life's highs and lows.

Sometimes when you don't know the journey, people can look at certain moments and say that they want that but they don't understand that our pastors , all they've done their whole lives is chase the shepherd ," said Lentz. His message was given days after Hillsong announced a new film "Let Hope Rise," which will document the international rise of the church's Hillsong UNITED worship band, is currently in the works. Lentz's message was solely focused on Psalm 23 but he also addressed the speculation that people oftentimes make when pastors and ...
