In addition to sermon audio and video files, many of our sermons have other resources available like extended summaries and study guides. Our archive dates back to 1992 and all resources are free to download and distribute. Most sermons are by our Senior Pastor, Greg Boyd.

Motherhood of God

• Greg Boyd

One of the most common images of God in the Bible is that of God as our “heavenly Father.” It is important to note, however, that God is also portrayed as “Mother” and we as God’s children. Greg discussed how God used this image of “Mother” to heal some profound wounds from his own childhood.

No Pain, No Gain: Resisting Sin

• Greg Boyd

In America, we rarely hear the message that as Christians we should expect to suffer for our faith. If Christ was perfected by his obedience and sufferings, why should we expect to be spared suffering ourselves?

Thy Kingdom Come

• Greg Boyd

Missions and evangelism are not things that we add to our otherwise Christian lives. No, outreach grows naturally out of our being children of the King. We are to be prepared to engage with the world as the Lord leads us.

Thy Will Be Done

• Greg Boyd

The Bible teaches that Christ was perfected through suffering. Christ’s obedience to God in this way has made possible our salvation even though we have disobeyed.

The Throne of Grace

• Greg Boyd

Jesus suffered and was tempted in every way, and he understands our struggles. Because of Christ we can be confident that God knows us from the inside out. For this reason we can approach God as one who understands and will be gracious. Judgment does not produce transformation in a person’s life. Instead, God extends grace and forgiveness for our sin. Then God personally shows us the way to go.

The Division of Soul and Spirit

• Greg Boyd

The Bible has a lot to say about how the heart and mind of a believer can be transformed! Greg examined what this might mean as we think about our spiritual and emotional health.

Entering God’s Rest

• Greg Boyd

God intended us to rest periodically from our work. When we fail to do that, we lose perspective and forget who we are in Christ. When we lose perspective on what God is calling us to do, it makes sense to take time and rest in the Lord. Often God uses that opportunity to refresh the vision that God has for our lives. Greg discussed the command to rest as presented in the Letter to the Hebrews.

Taking the Land of the Giants, Part 2

• Greg Boyd

Many Christians are not aware that Jesus was actually unable to do miracles in his hometown. Mark chapter 6 alerts us to an important connection between faith and transformation. We have all heard it said that “faith without works is dead.” But perhaps it is still not clear how our faith and our actions are to be related to one another. Faith is not simply a belief of the mind, it is a passion of the heart that drives us forward in obedience.

"So many thanks for your wonderful messages and all you give to the world around you. I'm retired in Ecuador with no churches so really appreciate your online presence. So many Christians discourage questions, so this is refreshing, as are the Q&A sessions."
