And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. (1 Cor 2:1-5)

Here we recapped God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, and Scripture, and then moved on to briefly address creation and humanity.
It's important to distinguish between what Christians hold in the closed hand (must believe) and what we hold in the open hand (may believe).
In the closed hand are that God made all things visible and invisibe, that he is Lord over all things, and that humans are made in God's image with dignity and value, both male and female, made for partnership.
In the open hand are questions like, "How long were the days of Gensis 1?", or "How old is the earth?" or "Is complementarianism or egalitarianism the more biblical view?" On these matters, we hold our own conviction while not despising other believers whose beliefs differ from ours.

For many believers, the cross has been explained as Jesus dying to pay God a debt we owed for our sins. Is this explanation how the early church fathers understood the cross?

“Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.” (Phil 4:6-7 MSG)
