Celebrating a Subversive King11/28/10
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Generosity, Identity in Christ, Money, Politics, Sacrifice, Humility
- Jesus was born a subversive King. He was born to show the world the true Kingdom and the True God, and in so doing, showed the world how the Roman kingdom was false. In the spirit of Jesus’ subversive intention, Greg shows us a way to be subversive with the Christmas culture of the western world.

Seeing What God Sees10/04/09
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Judgment, Poverty, Humility
- When we ask the simple question, “What does the Lord require?” we get a clear answer from Scripture. There are many passages we could turn to for a response, but one of the most concise is Micah 6:8. Act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God.

I am a Hypocrite07/19/09
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Kingdom of God, Repentance, Humility, Hypocrisy
- Jesus and his followers had very different ideas about what would happen when Jesus finally got to Jerusalem. These differences were so serious that everyone abandoned Jesus when his path took him to the cross. It may be tempting to judge Jesus’ followers as short-sighted hypocrites, but Greg challenges us with the question of whether we really would do differently under similar circumstances.

It's Time to Get Low03/22/09
-
Speaker – Dwayne Polk
- Topics – Transformation, Humility
- Spiritually speaking, the attitude we have when we work to advance God's Kingdom is far more important than the work we actually do. If we do the "right things" but don't don’t imitate Jesus in our attitude we don't reflect the Kingdom of God the way we could. Humility, gentleness and bearing each others' burdens are basic to serving one another in Christ-like love.

Shocking Humility and Extravagant Grace03/08/09
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Grace, Judgment, Humility
- When we hear sermons, often we apply them to someone else. It is always easier to see and try to fix other people’s faults than it is our own. It is common to do this when we read Bible stories. One of the functions of Jesus’ parables is to free us from this self-serving favoritism and force us to look in the mirror.

The Kingdom: It's Really Upside Down10/05/08
-
Speakers – Greg Boyd, Scott Boren
- Topics – Kingdom of God, Relationships, Humility
- God's unique way of growing his kingdom isn't what we may expect from a king. In fact, many times he flips our expectations completely upside down. In a conversation with the Pharisees in Luke 14, Jesus demonstrates this beautiful uniqueness and reveals the impact it can have on how we relate to each other in our everyday activities.

Leadership with a Limp05/06/07
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Identity in Christ, Leadership, Humility
- A "bottom feeder" is a type of fish that eats just about anything it finds at the bottom of a body of water. Greg uses this term to represent a way of living where a person attempts to get life from things outside of themselves. Even church leaders can fall into a religious type of "bottom feeding" where they get life from the people they serve. In Luke 6:39-42, Jesus talks about just this type of thing when he speaks about the blindness and hypocrisy of some of the religious leaders. Greg describes an alternative to "bottom feeding"--"leading with a limp", where we humbly take our own weaknesses into account as we lead others.
Blessings to the Messy04/15/07
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Kingdom of God, Blessings, Humility
- This weekend, we started our 6 week church-wide adventure entitled “The Beautiful Mess." The title may seem a little different, but it's very representative of how the Kingdom of God interacts with our lives. When a new way of living begins to reveal itself, it can bring beauty into our "normal" messes of life by actually "messing up" our so-called ordinary ways of thinking. It is just this idea that grounds Jesus' "Sermon on the Plain". With this Sermon, Jesus not only presented the very blueprint of Kingdom life, but he also did so by telling shocking truths that seemed somewhat upside-down from what may have been thought of as "normal" living.
Fishing with Jesus02/11/07
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Forgiveness, Repentance, Humility
- Jesus desires to be a part of every area in our lives. Following God is not a spiritual exercise or ritual that is relegated only to church. Rather, it is a relationship that consists of giving to God everything about us, and being obedient to God’s calling and direction in our lives.
The Power of Weakness01/22/06
-
Speaker – Brenda Salter-McNeil
- Topics – Reconciliation, Power, Humility
- God’s kingdom is paradoxical. The paradox is displayed in how God uses our weaknesses to make us strong. In spite of our weaknesses, God uses us to bring about His kingdom. The things in our lives that we see as weaknesses or stumbling blocks are actually opportunities for God to reveal to us his power and strength in us and through us.
