Evil and the 8 Second Interval

• Greg Boyd

We all know that the world is a very complicated place. We long for simplicity and clear answers to our questions, especially when bad things happen to us or those we love. Greg warned against giving simple answers to the question, “Why?”

Evil and Chaos

• 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.

It’s Not God’s fault

• Greg Boyd

When tragedy strikes, people of faith often ask “WHY did God do or even allow this!?” Greg argued that this is the wrong question and challenged the assumptions that lead us to ask, “Why, God?”

Healing Power of the Resurrection

• Greg Boyd

The apostle Paul leverages EVERYTHING—the whole truth of the Gospel—on the truth of the resurrection of Christ. Greg discussed the importance of the resurrection for bringing healing to a hurting world.

The Joy of Death

• 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.

Baptism of the Holy Spirit: Part 1

• Greg Boyd

The Bible teaches us to empty ourselves of the thoughts and concerns of this world for a very important reason. We are to be filled with God’s spirit—the Holy Spirit—instead. Greg discussed what the Bible means when it speaks of a “Baptism of the Holy Spirit.”

Celebration and Witness

• 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.

Cutting the New Covenant

• 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.

New Testament Covenant Vow

• 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.

Intimacy (Into Me See)

• Greg Boyd

Many of our relationships with others seem to lack understanding, integrity and a sense of common vision. This sermon offered some insight into why this is the case. Greg continued this teaching on understanding and living in biblical covenant.

"We have been podrishioners for several months. Our daughter, son-in-law and grandkids moved back to California after living in MN for 10 years. They attended Woodland Hills for about a year before they moved. Now we all go to the beach together on Thursdays, come home and have dinner together, then we watch last Sunday’s sermon together. It is a special day for our family."

– Dale and Patricia, from California
