Join Matt Chandler for 12 days answering this question as we walk through a historic creed of the Christian faith.

The Bible reading each day should take about 30 minutes.

These days, it is commonly believed that all religions are more or less the same. The idea of a unique Saviour is not popular. Yet the Bible teaches that Jesus is unique.
