The Apostles' Creed declares truths that transcend time and space, uniting all of Christ’s saints from past, present, and future.

 

 

In the early- to mid-1950s, Herman Hoeksema delivered a series of radio sermons on each of the articles of the Apostles’ Creed, thereby presenting and explaining all of the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith. This collection of those sermons is therefore an excellent introduction to a Reformed understanding of the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith.

 

 

But the sermons in this book are more than theological expositions of the doctrines of the Apostles’ Creed. Hoeksema offers insightful, practical applications that flow from the truths of the Creed. Both the Creed’s doctrines and practical implications are crucially important—not only to the individual Christian—but also to the church as a whole. By expounding the Apostles’ Creed, Hoeksema demonstrates that its truths are not empty propositions but living declarations pointing to the Christian’s only hope and comfort in life and death—the triune God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

What others are saying about the book:

"The sermons are pastoral, and they pull the reader into the basics of what a person should believe if they are a Christian. He quotes relevant scripture, and his love of the Creed, the Bible, and the people of God is apparent. This title is relevant for anyone wanting to study the Apostles’ Creed in particular, or for any believer who wants to better understand what they believe." Rebecca Huffman Givens, Covenant Theological Seminary

 

 

"As God’s people we embrace the teachings of the Apostles’ Creed. We embrace these teachings because we believe them. However, we believers can easily fall into the practice of treating the Creed as only a simple statement, a statement which we do not think about too deeply. We do not seek to understand the depths of its riches. Consequently, we do not grow in our faith. This fine volume on the Apostles’ Creed, replete with many Scripture references, will cause our faith and understanding of biblical truth to grow." Jerome Julien, emeritus minister in the United Reformed Churches in North America

 

 

"Straight-forward, doctrinally tight, unwavering Reformed emphasis." Ben House (The Heavy-Laden Bookshelf)

 

 

"Hoeksema’s robust defense of Reformed doctrines, particularly the sovereignty of God and salvation by grace alone, is strongly evident throughout the book. He challenges modern theological trends that he views as diverging from orthodox Reformed faith, such as Arminianism and liberalism, and reaffirms the authority of Scripture and the centrality of Christ in God’s eternal plan. This commitment to doctrinal purity is balanced by a pastoral concern, encouraging faithfulness and godliness. I Believe is a treasure trove of doctrinal, biblical, and practical wisdom. Herman Hoeksema’s sermons not only provide a clear exposition of the Creed but also offer practical applications relevant to contemporary Christian life." —Marc Daniel Rivera (KristiyaKnow)

 

 

Herman Hoeksema (HH) (1886-1965) was a prolific writer who pastored churches in western Michigan. He was ordained into the ministry in the Christian Reformed Church in 1915. He is considered one of the founding "fathers" of the Protestant Reformed Churches in America. He taught in the Seminary of the Protestant Reformed Churches from its founding and until his retirement in 1964.

Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: Medium, Style: 4-Pack
This dog squeak ball has been a big hit in my home and keeps my dog entertained for long periods of time. The squeaker really grabs their attention and encourages play, tapping into their natural instincts to chase and fetch. My dog especially loves how it bounces and squeaks, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor play. It’s lightweight and easy for them to carry around, even for quick games of fetch in the yard. In terms of durability, it has held up pretty well so far. The squeaker may not last forever with heavy use, but the ball itself still stays in good shape. Overall, it’s a fun, engaging toy that keeps my dog active and happy.

budget friendly for dogs who lose balls in the creek
Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: Medium, Style: 4-Pack
Not great quality, but works for our needs. I have a ball crazy lab. She loves for me to throw a ball using the Chuck-it Ball Launcher. We do this in our wide back yard that butts up to a creek. At some point during her run and fetch, she will take a quick detour right into the creek. She nearly always still has the ball, but once in awhile it is lost. Not wanting to chance it on more pricy (and more durable) balls, I get these or something like these. They dont cost much, yet they do the job. I' not upset if one gets sacrificed to the creek waters and mud. Since the balls end up getting wet often, they will kinda fall apart over time (chasing, kicking, throwing, retrieving, dog saliva etc). But she doesn't chew on them. Glad she doesnt as tennis balls arent good on teeth, but even if it was ok, the balls probably would be breached easily. SO get these if you are like me and want a ball that does the job but arent a total financial loss if get lost or destroyed. For indoor play we and by we I mean our 3 dogs demand that we use the rubbery max glow chuck-it ball. And will ignore this style ball. Yes, I am well trained. lol

These balls SUCK! External squeakers, minimal bounce and blue that is too dark.
Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: X-Small, Style: 8-Pack
We have 2 little dogs in our home - a 1.5 year old Pomsky, and a 9 year old Pekingese. My Peke has shown no interest in tennis balls for years, until today! Imagine my excitement! Until she promptly destroyed the first squeaker on one of the blue balls. When I removed it, she began peeling the logos off the ball, and then started tearing the fuzz off! My dog has never destroyed any toy in her life, so this was shocking! Then the Pomsky decided that she wanted to play fetch with the new balls - she has Golden Retriever energy - and decided to destroy a squeaker in the midst of playing! She also wasn't nearly as interested in these tennis balls as her other tennis balls that she inherited from my Peke. 1. STUPID design, with the squeakers sticking out of the balls (the don't sit flush), so they are asking to get chewed or pulled out by any dog, even elderly 10 lb dogs! And a 9 lb young adult. 2. They are difficult to squeak compared to their Kong tennis balls, hence why the Pomsky wasn't interested for long. 3. They don't bounce as much as the Kong tennis balls, either, which made them less than exciting for the athletic and agile Pomsky. Meh. We wanted to get the smallest tennis balls we could get (1.5 inch) because neither dog will play with the 2 inch or bigger ones, but we also wanted to get colors they could easily see! The Pomsky clearly prefers the yellow balls to any other color (red, orange, green, darker blue, watermelon design), so we wanted to get like a bright blue or turquoise couple of balls to appeal to them! Well, my senior Peke liked the blue ones the most, but also liked the red and orange. Pomsky didn't like the blue ones. I think they're too dark of a blue to be easily seen in our home afternoons and evenings in the winter. We love Outward Hound toys in our house, but these were an expensive FLOP. They are the right size, but WHY did they put the squeakers so visible and appealing to dogs? I've never seen the squeaker in the Kong tennis balls. My advice is that Kong seems to make the best tennis balls for toy breeds, in the 1.5" size. Outward Hound dropped the ball here... no pun intended. The blue is darker than the photos depict (may be better in natural sunlight outdoors), the squeakers are external, and they barely bounce at all. Our next step will be to get the pressurized bright blue tennis balls from another brand, in hopes that the bounce and visibility will outweigh the lack of squeakiness. If those don't work, I guess we'll stick to the classic neon yellow Kong tennis balls! At my local Target, they only have multicolor packs of them, and the dark blue, red and green get completely ignored. *Dogs can only see shades of blues, yellows and black, grey and white. While some dogs may not seem to care about color, our Pomsky clearly does. :(

My Dog Loves Them
Color: Multi Squeaker Balls, Size: Small, Style: 8-Pack
These cute little squeaky balls are the perfect size for my Shih Tzu. She loves to chew on them and make them squeak all the time, so they are durable. I would purchase them again.
