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.

Non Competitive Suffering

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.
