There is no Them

Sep 10 2017 • Greg Boyd

The church is one of those rare organizations that exists primarily for the benefit of its non-members! Hospitality is one practical way that we demonstrate toward others the same type of other-oriented, self-sacrificial generosity and agape-love that God has shown to us. We seek to be a community that radically welcomes everyone, even those who could be perceived as enemies. In the Kingdom of God, there is no “them.”

There is no Them // Part Two

• Greg Boyd

Hospitality is the intentional inclusion of the stranger and “others” in our jobs, churches, neighborhoods, cities, and beyond. What exactly does this look like and why don’t we do this? In the second message in our “There Is No Them” series, Greg unpacks two Scripture passages that help to identify Jesus in the face of the strangers around us, and gives us practical tips on how to better represent Christ’s Kingdom in our world.

Topics: Community, Discipleship, Kingdom of God, Relationships


There is no Them // Part One

• Greg Boyd

Today Greg opens our two-part series called "There is no Them" with a message about the amazing consistency and unmistakable clarity we find in both the Old and New Testaments about our calling to welcome and embrace strangers into our lives and communities.

Topics: Calling, Discipleship

"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."
