State of the Union Address01/10/99
Living the Covenant01/17/99
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- The word “covenant” is rarely used today, but in ancient times it was a common social structure that all respected. Most people understand what a contract is, but few today understand the word “covenant.” The Bible assumes that we know about covenants and intend to keep them. Greg taught on understanding and living in biblical covenant.
Intimacy (Into Me See)02/07/99
New Testament Covenant Vow02/14/99
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- One of the very few remaining covenants that we honor today is marriage. In this covenant we make promises to each other and mesh our identity with that of our spouse. The relationship God wants with you is of the same sort. God has made promises to you and offers us the opportunity to be identified with him in Christ. Greg continued this teaching on understanding and living in biblical covenant.
Cutting the New Covenant02/21/99
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- In the Old Testament, an animal was sacrificed as a sign of the seriousness of a covenant. In the New Testament, God’s own Son is sacrificed instead of us even though we are the ones who have been unfaithful in our relationship with God. Greg continued his teaching on understanding and living in biblical covenant.
Celebration and Witness02/28/99
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Covenants always have people who bear witness to them. These witnesses hold the people involved accountable and support the covenant. As Christians we are both participants in our own covenant with God and witnesses to the covenants of other believers as well. Greg continued his teaching on understanding and living in biblical covenant.
The Joy of Death03/28/99
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- The Bible teaches us that no one can serve two masters. We will despise one and serve the other.
The Christian message is that we must die in order to live. We must set aside our own way of doing life and take up Christ’s way. Greg described what it means to stop serving ourselves and start serving God with our whole lives.
It's Not God's fault04/25/99
Evil and Chaos05/02/99
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- When dealing with evil in the world, we have a choice to make. Will we ask the question “WHY” and seek to find out who is to blame? Or will we ask the question “HOW” and seek to cooperate with God in bringing good out of every evil situation? Greg addressed the problem of evil and chaos in the world.

Faith in the Balance07/11/99
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Many heroes of faith named in Hebrews 11 did not receive the promises God gave them during their own earthly lifetimes. We too, must understand that faith is ultimately concerned with the next life more than this present age. Greg continued to describe the role of faith in the life of the believer.
For God's Sake, Love God07/25/99
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- Christians should consider whether they would continue to serve and love God even if they were not blessed in this life for doing so. What if we were punished for our faith in this life? Would we love God openly then? Greg continued to describe the role of faith in the life of the believer.
How Can We Win the War?08/08/99
The Faith of Noah08/29/99
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- The only explanation for why Noah built the ark is because his faith enabled him to expect the unexpected. Any rational person operating on common knowledge, would have though he was crazy! Noah’s faith caused him to expect the unexpected, but that is not all. It motivated ACTION. He actually went ahead and built an Ark even though it did not seem reasonable to the natural mind. Greg continued to describe the role of faith in the life of the believer.

Biblical Principles of Stewardship12/05/99
-
Speaker – Greg Boyd
- It may surprise you to know that greed is actually the sin spoken of most frequently in the Bible. We rarely hear this from the pulpit because we are all so guilty of this in America. Greg addressed this serious spiritual problem that we face as Americans and discussed how stewardship is one aspect of discipleship that many Christians struggle with.
