In the spirit of Jesus’ subversive intention, Greg shows us a way to be subversive with the Christmas culture of the western world.

To Have Or Not To Have10/18/09

  • Topics – Generosity, Pain & Suffering, Poverty

  • Speaker – Greg Boyd
     
  • Topics – Community, Generosity, Grace

Acting on the Truth01/18/09

  • Speaker – Greg Boyd
     
  • Topics – Discipleship, Generosity, Sacrifice
  • In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, the primary point is that information we have about God doesn’t do us any good if we don’t act on it. As Kingdom people, we must remember what this means for our own generosity.

Christmas Guilt12/14/08

  • Speaker – Greg Boyd
     
  • Topics – Generosity, Judgment, Money, Guilt
  • As Kingdom people, we always want to be aware of the dangers of consumerism and irresponsible spending. However, if we take on too much responsibility for fixing the world we can fall into guilt and become judgmental. Jesus modeled a balance between responsibility to those who are less fortunate, and the freedom we have to celebrate and share the good things that God has given us.

This Is What We Do12/07/08

  • Speaker – Sandra Unger
     
  • Topics – Generosity, Relationships, Sacrifice
  • Christians are called to live generously all year round – not just at Christmas time. Jesus models four distinctives that we are to imitate in our lives and in our communities. We can easily get caught in the flow of our culture so these distinctives are challenging for us, but they’re crucial for expanding God’s Kingdom.

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.

Rich Towards God06/01/08

  • Speaker – Greg Boyd
     
  • Topics – Generosity, Love, Politics
  • Many times the modern American church views God as a judge or lawyer and the main goal of the church is to enforce certain rules. While God is the ultimate judge, he is also madly in love with humanity and wants to see everyone restored. If we look at how God has been extravagantly rich towards us, we begin to see what it means for us to be rich towards God and others.
