Ghost Behind The Wheel10/17/10
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Healing, Transformation, Simplicity

The Ghost Of Christmas12/20/09

Speaker – Greg Boyd

Giving the Gift of Gratitude02/01/09
-
Speaker – Dwayne Polk
- Topics – Faith, Healing, Gratitude
- Jesus spent much of his time healing and performing miracles, and Luke tells the account of the healing of ten lepers – and the one who came back to thank Jesus. However, there was more healing needed than simply the physical reversal of leprosy, and this story reminds us some important principles about gratitude.

Speaking the Kingdom08/10/08
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Healing, Spiritual Warfare, Power
- Our passage this week shows Jesus healing a crippled woman. Jesus and his disciples regularly healed the sick and the lame and cast out demons by taking authority over the situation "in Jesus' name." This challenges us to consider the power and authority our own words and actions have in our daily lives.

The Fire God06/29/08
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Healing, Hell, Love, Salvation
- God is a FIRE. To all who are open to him, God’s presence is a fire of love, salvation, healing and purification. To all who are not, God’s presence is experienced as a fire of destruction. Jesus reminds and warns us to build our lives on him; depending upon where our hearts are, God’s fiery and holy love either saves and purifies us, or it destroys.

Inside-Out04/20/08
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Healing, Pain & Suffering, Poverty, Transformation
- How does true spiritual change occur? Sometimes we focus on the outside and try to change ourselves through what we do. But we don’t become clean by paying attention to external “religious” behaviors. In this sermon we’re challenged with the example of generosity to the poor and learn that becoming clean is an “inside-out” process, where we allow the Spirit of God to transform us on the inside so that our outside behavior lines up with his Kingdom.

When God Doesn't Make Sense02/17/08
-
Speaker – Scott Abbott
- Topics – Faith, Healing, Prayer, Problem of Evil, Sin, God's Will
- As a person with muscular dystrophy, Scott has countless personal experiences that illustrate the principles that Greg taught about in the previous two sermons. Scott has personally wrestled with questions about why some prayers are answered and others are not – most fundamentally related to why he himself hasn’t been healed.

Daily Bread, Daily Forgiveness01/06/08
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Forgiveness, Healing, Prayer
- In the next part of the Lord's Prayer, Jesus teaches that prayer is about daily dependence on God to meet our needs, even though most people in our self-sufficient world do not think this way. We also discover the crucial role that forgiveness plays in our lives and the surprising freedom it can bring.

The Compassion That Heals06/10/07
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Controversial Issues, Healing, Pain & Suffering
- God chooses to engage us in all of our pain, division, and confusion to help us be healed. In Luke 7:11-17, Jesus demonstrates both the miraculous power and loving heart of God as he brings a widow's only son back from the dead. Just like Jesus had tremendous compassion on the widow, we can also seek to show God's compassion to help bring healing to others.
A Community of Healers02/25/07
-
Speaker – Annie Perdue-Olson
- Topics – Community, Faith, Healing
- There are a number of popular songs that mention the importance and need for a caring community. Songs like "Stand by Me" or "You've Got a Friend” mention relying upon each other in a time of need. They also demonstrate how good things can happen to individuals who "get a little help from their friends." In the Luke 5:17-26 passage, we see an account of Jesus healing someone, and a clear example of a caring community that desired to help bring healing and wholeness to their friend.
Praying the Leper's Prayer02/18/07
-
Speaker – Sandra Unger
- Topics – Healing, Judgment, Relationships
- Lepers in Jesus’ day were considered to be completely “untouchable” by mainstream society. They were excluded from the company of other “healthy people” and were forced to live alone or in leprous communities. Jesus, however, had no such limitations. When the leprous man came to Him to be healed, Jesus reached out to the man, touched him and made him well. In doing this, Jesus shows us how we are to minister to others.
Kingdom Healing01/28/07
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Healing, Kingdom of God, Blessings
- The Good News Jesus came to proclaim to humanity was for all people and for all areas of our lives. He came to heal and set free the poor, the oppressed, the blind, the captives and prisoners of judgment. Jesus applied Kingdom liberation to every form of oppression. Jesus sets a pattern of speaking the truth in love and then following through with action. He does not just talk about the Kingdom. He acts upon it.
According to Your Faith01/01/06
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Faith, Healing
- As believers in Jesus Christ, we are a part of a community who lives by faith. Faith is defined in the book of Hebrews (11:1) as the substance of things hoped for, the conviction/assurance of things not seen. By faith, we believe that God desires to build His Kingdom in us and through us. He wants to rule in every aspect of our lives. This includes our hearts, minds, and relationships. But, it also includes our bodies. Faith involves believing that God can restore and bring healing.
Pray Until Something Happens05/01/05
-
Speaker – Brenda Salter-McNeil
- Topics – Healing, Prayer
- Rev. Brenda's message today was entitled: Operation Push: Pray Until Something Happens, and was based on John 5:1-19. As stated in verse 19, "the Son can do nothing on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing." Jesus walked with his spiritual eyes open in order to see what the Father was doing. He knew he had to stop and say what he could see. That is why Jesus was accurate in prayer. He only said what he could see. He only did what he could see God was doing.
The Wounded Healer06/20/04
-
Speaker – Dwayne Polk
- Topics – Healing, Love, Pain & Suffering
- Our wounds (emotional, physical, psychological, spiritual) in no way disqualify us from ministry. In fact, God often uses our healing experiences to assist others who are suffering from similar wounds. Dwayne affirmed this truth for us by appealing to its scriptural basis and by sharing a personal experience as a wounded healer.
