  • Speaker – Greg Boyd
     
  • Topics – Heaven, Resurrection, Creation Care
  • When Jesus was resurrected, he was not in some far away place. In fact, Jesus kept pointing out to his disciples that he was flesh and blood.

  • Speaker – Greg Boyd
     
  • Topics – End Times, Heaven, Creation Care
  • As Christians, we often give a lot of attention to passages in the Bible that refer to Jesus’ return, but often only to speculate about the end of the world. Instead, we should use these teachings to reflect on how we live here and now. One specific application of this principle is making daily decisions that honor God’s creation.
