Crowns Not Crutches

Following the Little Lamb

• Greg Boyd

In this sermon, Greg examines the symbolism of the second and third horses who are told to come forth and show themselves for who they are. The second horse is given the title of societal conflict and the third is the horse of economic distress.

The Horse of Perpetual Ascent

• Greg Boyd

In this sermon, Greg expounds on the first broken seal and what it symbolizes. Here we read about the white horse that seeks to ascend through conquering. Some have taught that this represents the rule of Christ, but actually it is the ancient serpent who is merely a Christlike figure.

Topics: Conflict, Love, Peace


Election Eve: Keeping Perspective

• Dan Kent, Greg Boyd, Shawna Boren

Leading up to and throughout this election season, many of us have been experiencing a wide range of emotions—things like fear, anxiety and frustration. It can be easy to lose perspective, which is why on "Election Eve", we held a special service, all about keeping our eyes fixed on King Jesus and his Kingdom, no matter the outcome of the election. We want to remember who we belong to, where our citizenship is, and that our real hope is in Jesus—not in any particular candidate, political party or government.

Topics: Kingdom of God


Final Justice

• Greg Boyd

Greg speaks from the heart about the way that God judges, and how he uses all life circumstances to grow us, even though he does not cause those circumstances. When we honestly look at the difficulties of life, can we trust that God remains in them and meets us there, bringing good out of evil?

Topics: End Times, Judgment, Presence of God


Poetic Justice

• Greg Boyd

The Bible speaks repeatedly about the judgment of God, including the final judgment that is coming. In this sermon, Greg addresses what God’s judgment means by explaining the concept of organic judgment in contrast with judicial judgment.

Topics: End Times, Judgment, Repentance


The Joy of God’s Judgment

• Dan Kent

In John’s vision he sees the martyrs calling out for justice, asking how long will they have to wait for God to make things right. This speaks to our common longing for justice as we live in the space where Jesus has won the victory and overcome Satan, yet we wait on justice to be fully realized. This sermon shows how we live in this space.

Topics: End Times, Faith, Justice

"My almost-three-year-old asks every day if we can go to church. Thank you, Woodland Hills, and all the Heroes Gate volunteers for creating such a great environment for kids. My husband and I met at WH six years ago and now our son counts down the days until we get to go again. My heart could burst."
