Speaker – Sandra Unger
- Topics – Disciplines, Simplicity, Presence of God
- A GPS system will show us our exact location at any given time, and for certain phones, it is a little blue dot. However, just because we are physically somewhere does not mean that we are present in the situation. In this sermon, Sandra shows us some of the common distractions to being present and a distinct truth about why we are so busy.

Above The Clouds02/19/12
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Disciplines, Hope, Presence of God
- Clouds can bring rain and refreshment to the Earth. But they also can block out the Sun, and they represent ominous things in our life. These “dark clouds” in our life block out the energy and glory of Christ in our lives. When we rise above the clouds in this life, we realize that we should always dwell in the serenity of Christ.

Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Disciplines, Problem of Evil, Sin
- We all have habitual sins that seem to plague us around every turn. Whether it’s gossip, lust, greed, or envy, we all falter in one place or another. Instead of wishing for deliverance, God asks us to work at our sins in order to become the people he created us to be.

Revolting Against Normal11/23/08
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Community, Disciplines, Presence of God
- Most of the time we try to fit Jesus into our culturally-accepted view of God, and the early Christians did the same thing. But Jesus doesn’t fit into our categories. As Kingdom people, we’re meant to follow Jesus’ example and revolt against what’s normal in our culture. Three disciplines that can help us are practicing God’s presence, fasting and community.

Remembering the Forgotten Beauty10/22/06
-
Speaker – Dwayne Polk
- Topics – Disciplines, Identity in Christ, Presence of God
- When we look are our hectic lives, we can sense the pain and despair that we often feel...but we never stop to think about what has really caused the problem of our shattered beauty. One important problem is that we have forgotten beauty related to the Center of the Kingdom, the Lord Jesus Christ. God wants us to create "spaces for God" so that we can experience the matchless beauty of Jesus in our daily lives, and then, see our own beauty!
Beyond Drive-Thru Christianity04/30/06
-
Speaker – Scott Boren
- Topics – Disciplines, Prayer
- Prayer was a way of life for Anna. She prayed with patience and an expectation that God would come through. We, however, live in a fast-food society that tells us to “have it our way” with little investment and immediate gratification. Prayer is not a fast-food, drive-thru experience. Rather, just like a three course meal, it takes time and patience to develop a meaningful relationship with Jesus. There are three basic courses to a good meal with him.
Kingdom Secrecy03/26/06
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Discipleship, Disciplines
- Anna was a widow who spent most of her life in the temple fasting, worshipping and praying to God in solitude. Through the world’s eyes, she was not considered important, visible or successful. However, in God’s Kingdom, she was considered a hero and a success. Anna’s life is a testimony for us as believers, because she was exactly where God called her to be. She was obedient and faithful to the calling God specifically gave her.
Kingdom Single Mindedness10/03/04
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Discipleship, Disciplines, Kingdom of God, Love
- Willing just one thing, the love of God, is our only task. Our hearts are pure and our minds are sound when we overcome the double-mindedness that we unconsciously live in by submitting to God (James 4:7). Greg called our attention to how our minds are caught up in routines that produce behavior that is harmful to ourselves and others. Working toward kingdom single mindedness moment by moment will focus our energy where it should be: on the love of God for us and on loving ourselves and others because of it.
Feeding the Inner Self01/11/04
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Discipleship, Disciplines, Sacrifice
- It takes discipline and self-sacrifice on the part of individuals for us as a whole to become "a community of spiritually empowered people" as stated in our church vision. As spiritual people, we are called to think more about the eternal consequences of our words and deeds.
