Our One Foundation04/15/12
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Identity in Christ, Relationships, Simplicity
- We see a lot of Christians base their lives on different things. Some base them on wayward things, such as government, the economy, their own job, or their health—the things that are here one day and gone tomorrow. However, Jesus says that he is the one foundation. In this sermon, Greg talks about how we are to base our lives upon Jesus, and also shows how Woodland Hills has done this.

The Who and The Do07/18/11

Speaker – Greg Boyd

-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Identity in Christ, God's Will, Peace
- It can be difficult to understand God’s will. In this sermon, Greg talks about the foundations of understanding God’s will.

In Christ Our Permanent Residence05/29/11
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Identity in Christ, Kingdom of God, Nationalism
- As we start our new sermon series in Colossians, it is important to remember the foundations on which the early Church stood. Living in Christ, for the early Church, was the same as living at an address, and it had large implications for how they viewed themselves. In this sermon, Greg points out some of these implications and also gives a little history behind Paul’s letter to Colossae.

Subverting the Subversion12/26/10
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Identity in Christ, Kingdom of God, Satan
- The Devil has historically used a 1-2 punch to fight God. He usually starts by trying to snuff out the Kingdom of God, and if that doesn’t work, he tries to normalize the Kingdom of God. This normalization leads to a watered-down and mundane version of the Kingdom. God calls us to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness.

Speaker – Dwayne Polk

The Anti-"Inside-Outside" Revolution08/05/07
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Identity in Christ, Kingdom of God, Love
- The Kingdom of God is revealed in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. This Kingdom is about love and reconciliation; through Christ, being reconciled to God and being reconciled to one another. In Christ, there are no longer walls that separate or exclude, rather we are all united by Christ’s love. When Jesus heals the unclean lady mentioned in Luke 8:40-59, he is showing that no one, no matter what distinction has been made, is left on the “outside” of his love.
