Considering The Even More
  • Speaker – Steve Wiens

  • Life can throw difficult situations our way. Marriage struggles, road rage, or in Mary's case, being an unmarried virgin pregnant with the Savior of the world. How do we handle those situations?

The Bridezilla of Christ
  • Speaker – Greg Boyd

Filling the Hysterema01/22/12

Filling the Hysterema
  • Speaker – Greg Boyd
     
  • Topics – Kingdom of God, Sacrifice, Power
  • In our culture, showing vulnerability or neediness is often seen as a weakness. Since God is all-powerful (not weak), he must not be vulnerable or need others, right? Greg suggests that if we step back from our cultural assumptions about power and weakness we may see that God's vulnerability is actually one of his greatest displays of power.

Continuing The Work Of Christ02/05/12

Continuing The Work Of Christ
  • Speaker – Greg Boyd
     
  • Topics – Discipleship, Sacrifice, Blessings
  • For some Christians, the goal of salvation is escape from Hell. In Colossians, Paul talks about the glorious riches that are available to us in the here and now. And while being in Heaven is a great part of our relationship with God, it is not even close to the fullness that Jesus brings to our lives.

Non Competitive Suffering02/12/12

Non Competitive Suffering
  • 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.

Above The Clouds02/19/12

Above The Clouds
  • Speaker – Greg Boyd
     
  • Topics – Disciplines, Hope, Presence of God
  • Clouds can bring rain and refreshment to the Earth. But they also can block out the Sun, and they represent ominous things in our life. These “dark clouds” in our life block out the energy and glory of Christ in our lives. When we rise above the clouds in this life, we realize that we should always dwell in the serenity of Christ.
