I Believe in Jesus Christ

Alfred Norris

Eastern Christadelphian Bible School (1995)

This 1995 series offers a heartfelt and intellectually honest exploration of the foundational convictions of the Christian faith. With warmth, clarity, and a touch of wit, Bro. Alfred Norris walks listeners through the key affirmations of belief—beginning with the authority of Scripture and moving through the identity, mission, and promises of Jesus Christ. Each session peels back layers of tradition and assumption, inviting listeners to examine what they truly believe and why. Anchored in Scripture yet refreshingly candid, this series encourages a deeper, more personal commitment to the gospel and the God who gave it.

I Believe in the Holy Scriptures and in One God

This opening lecture grounds the entire series in the authority of the Bible as God's inspired Word and the essential unity of God. The speaker challenges assumptions, clarifies terms like "believe," and sets the tone for the rest of the talks by exploring how belief must go beyond intellectual assent to wholehearted commitment.

I Believe in Jesus Christ, Virgin Born and Crucified

Here, the humanity of Jesus Christ comes into sharp focus. This class traces Jesus’ unique birth, sinless life, and sacrificial death, emphasizing how these truths shape a believer’s understanding of salvation, obedience, and hope. It underscores the cost and the love inherent in God’s redemptive plan.

I Believe in Jesus Christ, Risen and Ascended

This talk moves from the crucifixion to the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, exploring the significance of an empty tomb and a living Lord. The resurrection is not just a historical claim, but a transformative truth that demands response—fueling hope, reshaping priorities, and anchoring faith in a real, reigning Christ.

I Believe in Jesus Christ, Returning to Judge

With urgency and scriptural depth, Bro. Norris explores the promise of Christ’s return—not merely as a doctrinal point, but as a defining reality for believers. The message challenges listeners to live in light of coming judgment and to anticipate the return of a righteous, merciful King.

I Believe in the Kingdom of God

This class unpacks the hope of a restored, future kingdom on earth under Christ’s rule. Bro. Norris thoughtfully addresses common misconceptions—about heaven, earthly kingdoms, and personal spirituality—while affirming the biblical vision of a tangible, just, and everlasting kingdom. The kingdom of God is presented as both a historical reality and a future certainty.

I Believe in Baptism and the Family of God

The final session considers baptism not as a ritual or rite of passage, but as a profound act of repentance, faith, and commitment. Bro. Norris reflects on the meaning and purpose of baptism, urging listeners to see it as entrance into the family of God—built not on inherited tradition, but on personal conviction and response to grace.
