Defragmenting Love11/14/10
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Community, Fear, Relationships, Transformation, Simplicity, Individualism
- All of us long for deep contact with God and with others. Yet, fear of judgment and having no space in our lives to develop deep contact hinder us when trying to find deep contact with others. God wants us to know that we need not fear judgment to make space in our lives for contact with Him and others.

Mary, Did You Know?12/24/08
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Fear, God's Will, Calling
- One of the best ways to draw out the meaning of Christmas is to look at the experience of Mary. Saying “yes” to God meant she would have to pay a tremendous price, but she was willing. Will we do the same with our lives? We are called to accept that doing God’s will is greater than any fears we might have.
Daredevil of Love08/03/08
-
Speaker – Dwayne Polk
- Topics – Fear, Power
- We are called to live as daredevils, but most of us are bound by fears of some kind. God didn’t make us to be timid people who are dependent on worldly things; we are meant to be free from fear and complete in love. He wants to set us free so that we have the confidence to be daredevils.

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.

Trusting Dad06/15/08
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Faith, Fear, Kingdom of God, Love
- So many of us have a messed up view of God. We don’t understand how our Father in heaven loves us beyond imagination. Because we lack a clear picture of God’s love, we cling to this world and all of its concerns. Our lives can get consumed by worry. But when we see the reality of God’s love, this world's problems are small by comparison.

Ravens and Wildflowers06/08/08
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Fear, Joy, Peace
- As a society, we’re extremely worried. Concern about countless issues pervades our lives: our relationships, our kids, terror attacks, global warming, pandemics, the economy, living the American Dream – if we’re not careful, this worry can consume us. Jesus provides us with the Kingdom alternative to worrying, and it’s surprisingly related to birds and flowers.

No Fear03/23/08
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Evangelism, Fear, Resurrection
- Time is ticking away. Being alive in this world means that we are moving toward death, and to some degree that makes most of us afraid. That fear can drive us to many different sources of worldly security, but the good news (the Easter news!) is that no one needs to live in fear.

Just Do It06/25/06
-
Speaker – Brenda Salter-McNeil
- Topics – Faith, Fear
- There comes a time in everyone's life where the wine runs out, when the excitement ends, life turns out to be less than you thought it would be or your accomplishments feel empty. Based on John 2:1-11, the questions that were raised are, "What will you do?" "Where do you go?" and "Who do you turn to?" Mary shows us that in a crisis the person you want there and to whom you turn is Jesus.
The Foundation of Wisdom06/11/06
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Fear, Transformation
- Jesus is the perfect, sinless human being who models what human existence in God's kingdom should look like. He demonstrates a life of increasing growth and learning in the ways of God. Jesus lived a life where he learned from his life experiences and gained insights into what life is really all about...all to God's glory. As we live like Jesus, we are to have lives where we, too, increase in growing in wisdom.
Holding the Hope02/05/06
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Fear, Hope
- In our world today, we are exposed to so many things that can cause us to be worried or anxious. Yet, in Christ we have hope that this life is not all that there is. In Christ we can have hope and know that he can bring peace into our lives, even in the midst of living within a terrifying and hopeless world. As believers in Christ, we have God’s Holy Spirit dwelling within us to help us live out Christ’s hope to those who fear in this world. Like Simeon, we know that God keeps his promises, and that he has revealed his son, Jesus, to redeem all humanity and to give us peace.
Fear Not - It's Good News01/15/06
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Fear, Identity in Christ, Salvation
- Like the shepherds whom the angel of the Lord spoke to, God wants us to know that we do not need to be afraid of Him. His character in the person of Jesus Christ displays His love for us. The message of His love is good news! Out of this abundant relationship with Jesus, comes a desire to share this good news with others.
Fearing the Untamed God11/06/05
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Creation, Fear, Presence of God
- We read in different parts of the Bible that we are to fear God, but what does that mean? Many people live in a state of constant fear that God will reject them or cause them harm if they act or think in certain ways. This is not what the Bible means by fearing God. But fearing God doesn't mean nothing. In our culture, God has become so common that he is no longer sacred. People act without any regard for what God thinks. What then is a proper understanding? It is true that God did become one of us, taking on human flesh. But if all we see is the intimate God, he becomes too "nice" and too "tamed" to be worthy of worship.
Kingdom Fearlessness11/07/04
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Fear, Kingdom of God
- This message was about the rampant fear pumping through the veins of our society. Even though America is one of the safest countries in the world, we have more fear than most other nations! But as followers of Christ, we are instructed not to worry (Matt. 6:25, 32-33, etc.). Instead, we have received a spirit of adoption, not slavery. We are God’s children, so there is no need to fear anything in this world. If our hearts and treasure are with the kingdom of God, then we should live without fear of anything in this world.
