Election Eve: Keeping Perspective
• Dan Kent, Greg Boyd, Shawna Boren
Leading up to and throughout this election season, many of us have been experiencing a wide range of emotions—things like fear, anxiety and frustration. It can be easy to lose perspective, which is why on "Election Eve", we held a special service, all about keeping our eyes fixed on King Jesus and his Kingdom, no matter the outcome of the election. We want to remember who we belong to, where our citizenship is, and that our real hope is in Jesus—not in any particular candidate, political party or government.Topics: Kingdom of God
Did Jesus Need a Campaign Manager?
• Bill Doherty, Greg Boyd

Final Justice
• Greg Boyd
Greg speaks from the heart about the way that God judges, and how he uses all life circumstances to grow us, even though he does not cause those circumstances. When we honestly look at the difficulties of life, can we trust that God remains in them and meets us there, bringing good out of evil?Topics: End Times, Judgment, Presence of God
Poetic Justice
• Greg Boyd
The Bible speaks repeatedly about the judgment of God, including the final judgment that is coming. In this sermon, Greg addresses what God’s judgment means by explaining the concept of organic judgment in contrast with judicial judgment.Topics: End Times, Judgment, Repentance
The Joy of God’s Judgment
• Dan Kent
In John’s vision he sees the martyrs calling out for justice, asking how long will they have to wait for God to make things right. This speaks to our common longing for justice as we live in the space where Jesus has won the victory and overcome Satan, yet we wait on justice to be fully realized. This sermon shows how we live in this space.Topics: End Times, Faith, Justice
The Ancient Serpent
• Greg Boyd
In this sermon, Greg provides a defense for the existence of an evil intelligence, a being named Satan, and explains how Revelation conveys that he is the source and cause of all the violence, evil and destruction in the world. Through this, Greg argues that God has often been blamed for what Satan has actually done.Topics: Satan, Spiritual Warfare
Sinners in the Hands of an Angry Lamb
• Greg Boyd
This first sermon in this sub-series entitled “The Wrath of the Lamb” sets the stage for what is to come. Greg shows how the images in Revelation 6 have been traditionally interpreted as depicting God as a violent arbiter of wrath. However, he challenges these interpretations and introduces an alternative, which is more faithful to the text and to the revelation of God in Christ.Topics: Judgment, Non-Violence, Satan
A Clash of Mindsets
• Greg Boyd
In this final sermon for the Political Distortions series, Greg Boyd addresses the heart posture of humility, calling us to the mindset of living in love to the point that we take on the mind of Christ on the cross instead of the prideful-ascent mindset that characterizes Satan and those who are always pursuing a life of “more.”Topics: Humility, Identity in Christ, Politics
Verbal Pollution
• Greg Boyd
Jesus and the writers of the New Testament highlight the importance of how we use our words. In fact, the biblical parameters stand in stark contrast to the common ways of speaking about one another in modern life. As followers of Jesus, we are called to embrace an alternative way that is driven by love, not slander and gossip.Topics: Judgment, Love, Politics
"My almost-three-year-old asks every day if we can go to church. Thank you, Woodland Hills, and all the Heroes Gate volunteers for creating such a great environment for kids. My husband and I met at WH six years ago and now our son counts down the days until we get to go again. My heart could burst."
