Stories of Poverty10/25/09
-
Speaker – Sandra Unger
- Topics – Poverty, Reconciliation, Relationships
- The Importance of Knowing Ernest: Sandra shares experiences and insights that have come from her family’s “unlikely” friendships with people on St. Paul’s East Side. In our movement toward the issue of poverty, it’s easy for the ‘haves’ to feel heroic for seeking to give to the ‘have-nots’. Through her relationship with Ernest, Sandra explains what can happen when we pursue relationships instead of responsibilities, or people instead of poverty.

Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Generosity, Pain & Suffering, Poverty
- Greg was careful to be clear that his challenge was primarily to those in the lower middle class of America and higher. However the principles apply to all of us: Don’t hoard the things of this world, but rather share generously with those who have less than we do.

God's Heart For The Poor10/11/09
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Topics – Poverty, Reconciliation, Spiritual Warfare
- We know that we are saved by God’s grace, not our own good deeds—but God still intends that we do good deeds. In fact, God saved us so that we can be restored to right relationship with God and all of creation. This restored relationship includes the activity (good works) that God has planned for each one of us.

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.

Speaker – Sandra Unger
- Topics – Greed, Poverty, Individualism
- No one wants to be told how to spend their money, but Jesus was not silent on the subject. He warned against greed and storing up treasures for ourselves while calling us to care for the poor and those who are less fortunate. His words may cause us discomfort, but they confront a very strong individualistic mindset that is just as prevalent in the church today as it is in secular culture.

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.
