-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Discipleship, Non-Violence, Politics, Faithfulness
- What is the real evidence of a disciple of Jesus? Too often today we are told that followers of Christ are marked by success, happiness and power. However, the Bible points to a different evidence, that of love that comes under others and serves.

Shrewd for the Kingdom11/30/08
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Generosity, Money, Faithfulness
- What does it mean to use material resources in a godly way? All of our money and “stuff” will pass away but the relationships we have with people have real eternal value. God wants us to use our resources to advance his Kingdom rather than our own.

The Return06/22/08
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – End Times, Fear, Faithfulness
- Many well-meaning Christians speculate about the end of the world and the return of Jesus. The problem is that most of these perspectives vary greatly and can cause a lot of fear and stress. But when we hear Jesus’ teaching about the end of the world, he focuses us in a direction that is quite different than many of today’s popular ideas.

Puppets and Dresses01/13/08
-
Speaker – Seth McCoy
- Topics – Salvation, Covenant, Faithfulness
- Is the good news of Jesus Christ really as good in your mind as it was in the mind of Jesus? God's dream for humanity is far more amazing than most of us realize. He wants to "marry" us, to invite us into his family and walk in radical love with us.

When God Reigns06/03/07
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Faith, Transformation, Faithfulness
- When we live inside God's "Reign", we are basically making the decision to agree with God's truth about reality in every area of our lives. This means that we define the development of our lives only around whatever God says about things like relationships, money, work, and recreation. Living in God's Reign assures a person that, as they grow spiritually, they are actively making Jesus the Lord of their lives.
Doing the Teachings of Jesus05/27/07
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Discipleship, Kingdom of God, Faithfulness
- Sound, wise teaching has no real effect in our lives if the teaching is not put into active, continuous practice. As we have seen throughout the “Sermon on the Plain” in Luke 6, Jesus lays out the demands and blessings of living as a disciple in the Kingdom of God. Jesus concludes his teaching with a challenge to his followers to embody his teachings and put them into living action.
Heart Reflections05/20/07
-
Speaker – Seth McCoy
- Topics – Discipleship, Identity in Christ, Faithfulness
- Just like a tree reveals either good or bad fruit, our lives reveal to others who we truly are. As followers of Christ, we are called to live a life that reveals the beauty of God. We learn from Jesus that true beauty and change only comes from the inside-out. As our hearts are turned and transformed in Christ, our words and actions bring forth beauty.
The Twelve04/01/07
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Controversial Issues, Discipleship, Faithfulness
- Jesus of Nazareth started a movement the likes of which the world has never seen. The Kingdom of God that was lived out in Jesus’ life and ministry has touched millions of people all over the world. What’s impressive is that Jesus began with just 12 chosen people.
Principles and Rules03/25/07
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Justice, Faithfulness
- Jesus has historically been seen as a powerful presence who bravely challenged the religious inconsistency and subtle oppression of his day. He sometimes broke serious religious rules that made some deeply question his actions. Some believed him to be just a troublemaker who had a disregard for God's rules for living. In reality, Jesus the Messiah was expanding the view of what God's life rules were really about.
The Temptation of Practical Goodness10/01/06
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Judgment, Power, Faithfulness, Temptation
- When people think about “temptation”, they often think about thoughts or behaviors that seem obviously evil or negative. Because of this idea, it is sometimes assumed that temptation is something that can be easily avoided. What people forget is that something does not have to be evil in order to be a temptation. Sometimes, there may be several options to choose from that seem good, but that pull us away from what God would want us to do.
A Life Interrupted12/18/05
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Sacrifice, God's Will, Faithfulness
- Are you willing to have your life interrupted by God? Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, had his life turned upside-down as he said “yes” to God’s plan for his life. Joseph can be considered to us, as followers of Christ, a hero of the Kingdom of God. He is a model for what it means to live in the Kingdom. Joseph was a person, who without any consideration for his own personal gain, without any regard for how it would cost him, gave up his own plans and dreams and followed what God was calling him to.
Is It Worth It?01/04/04
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Community, Blessings, Faithfulness
- In this first service of the year, Greg took a moment to reflect on what we are doing here. It is important to make an honest assessment of what progress we're making in advancing the kingdom of God. We inevitably face opposition in this world, but the task before us is worth the sacrifices that will need to be made.
