Topic: Judgment
Non Competitive Suffering02/12/12
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Judgment, Pain & Suffering, Sacrifice
- For the past few weeks, we’ve been talking about sharing in Christ’s suffering. While suffering, it can be easy to judge ourselves or others based on how much they suffer. Being connected to God’s plan for your life is the best way to stay away from this type of judgment.

Brotherly Loathe06/06/10
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Judgment, Love, Covenant
- In the story of the prodigal son, the focus is typically on the younger son who runs away and squanders his father’s wealth frivolously. His sin is as obvious as his disobedience. The elder son is also relating badly to his father, but in a more subtle way.

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.

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.

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.

Confronted By Upside Down11/16/08
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Grace, Judgment, Justice
- There are two sons in the parable of the Prodigal Son, and in this passage we find out how the older son responds when the younger son returns home. He’s judgmental of his brother, but it’s easy to understand why because his reaction stems from a sense of justice that we all share. However, the Kingdom of God challenges us to avoid judgments and instead, extend God’s grace to others.

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.
The Outsider's Kingdom01/07/07
The Temptation of Practical Goodness10/01/06
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Judgment, Power, Faithfulness, Temptation
- When people think about “temptation”, they often think about thoughts or behaviors that seem obviously evil or negative. Because of this idea, it is sometimes assumed that temptation is something that can be easily avoided. What people forget is that something does not have to be evil in order to be a temptation. Sometimes, there may be several options to choose from that seem good, but that pull us away from what God would want us to do.
The Incarnational Community12/26/04
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Community, Judgment, Love, Sacrifice
- Central to Greg’s message today was that the incarnation was not simply a historical act that ended at Christ’s ascension. It goes MUCH further than that! The Church IS the Body of Christ - we are the hands, the feet, the ambassadors, the temple, the Body through which God works. Therefore, we must share Christ’s attitude summed up by this phrase: be present, in love, without judgment.
