The Core Issue
• Greg Boyd
To love our enemy, we must understand two core issues. First, we can only love when we are allowing Christ to meet our core needs. Secondly, all people share the same basic core needs, but they fall into the trap of trying to meet them in false ways.Topics: Identity in Christ, Love
Learning to Love Your Enemy
• Cedrick Baker
Jesus’ teaching style draws you in with something you “think” you know, and then just turns it on its head. He was literally challenging the common thinking of the day.Topics: Peace, Reconciliation, Relationships
Imitating Indiscriminate Love
• Greg Boyd
Jesus taught us to love our enemies. While central to everything he taught, the church has long evaded its straight-forward implications. What then are we to do with his words?Topics: Love, Nationalism, Non-Violence
Jesus’ Third Way Response to Evil
• Greg Boyd
How do we respond to evil? There are three options: We can respond in kind, we can cower to it, or we can opt for Jesus’ third option. This sermon explores the third option and challenges us to combat the evil of our world by offering an unexpected response.Topics: Non-Violence, Peace
Future People
• Meghan Good
God’s complete Kingdom that is coming in the future overlaps with the present reality of the world. In the midst of this overlap, we are called to live out the future in the present life that in reality, falls short of God’s Kingdom vision.
The Kingdom of Heaven is Like… A Sunday Night Dress Up Meal?
• Leanne Friesen
When we pray “as it is in heaven,” what does this actually mean? What are the characteristics of heaven? This sermon addresses this question by identifying the Kingdom as radically forgiving, radically welcoming and radically peaceful.Topics: Forgiveness, Kingdom of God, Peace
We Are the Church
• Hank Johnson
The Kingdom of God is the present realization of God’s fully redeemed future, and the coming of the Spirit upon the church is the primary means for seeing the present Kingdom come.Topics: Holy Spirit, Kingdom of God
God, Sex and Family

Reality Over Legalities
• Greg Boyd
Jesus’ words about divorce appears to provide a technical reason for justifying the breaking of the marriage covenant. Is this what this passage really means, or is there something more significant that Jesus was saying? This sermon provides an unexpected answer to this question.Topics: Divorce, Love, Marriage
