Sermons in this series:
Overcoming Selfishness
• Cedrick Baker
This sermon challenges the pattern of selfishness as a contrast to the call to agape love. Through this teaching, we learn how selfishness undermines our call to be like Christ and practical ways we can address the selfishness that creeps into our lives.Topics: Community, Love, Sacrifice
A More Excellent Way
• Greg Boyd
Greg introduces a new series on love by examining the four Greek terms that are commonly translated as the English word “love,” thus clarifying what love is and what it means to love as God does. He then takes us through the first three verses of 1 Corinthians 13 to demonstrate why love is so crucial to our walk with God.Topics: Covenant, Faithfulness, Love
The Way of Generosity
• Dan Kent
God calls us to the way of generosity and Dan Kent shows how this call is much larger than a set of rules for how we use our money. It’s about recognizing the story of the world versus the story of God. To be shaped by the world’s story is to only see what we possess because there is no ultimate victorious ending. But to be shaped by God’s story is to see the grandeur of what God is doing and the culmination of all things, which dwarfs anything that we can store up for ourselves.Topics: Generosity, Greed, Transformation
The Way of Forgiveness
• Greg Boyd
Greg calls us into the Jesus way of forgiveness, contrasting it with the way of bitterness. He does this by explaining the parable of the unforgiving servant, as he helps us to see the inherent destructive forces that control our lives when we choose unforgiveness toward those who do us harm.Topics: Forgiveness, Relationships
The Way of Integrity
• Cedrick Baker
Cedrick Baker challenges us to walk in the way of integrity, living with our actions aligned with our beliefs. In this way of life our actions are not determined by what fits the situation, but by how our conscience determines what we will choose to do in the moment.Topics: Disciplines, Hypocrisy, Transformation
The Way of Empathy
• Dan Kent
In this sermon, Dan Kent challenges us to enter into the way of empathy, which he says is crucial to our ability to connect with others by sharing in their feelings. It is a way exemplified by Jesus as he entered into the common human condition so that he might know what we experience from the inside.Topics: Community, Presence of God, Relationships
The Way of Contentment
• Greg Boyd
God calls us to live in contentment, which comes in two forms. First, there is basic lifestyle contentment, where we are at peace when our basic needs are met and we are not driven to pursue unnecessary things. Second, there is radical contentment, where we are living without anxiety, when we are facing a situation that could cause it. In this sermon, Greg offers us direction in how we can grow in both kinds of contentment.Topics: Disciplines, Identity in Christ, Prayer
The Way of Gratitude
• Greg Boyd
This first sermon in our Walk the Way series addresses the importance of practicing gratitude and how it impacts our ability to receive God’s salvation. Greg Boyd looks at the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers, and how only one returned to express his gratitude to Jesus, and in doing so received something the other nine did not.Topics: Gratitude, Healing, Salvation
Meditating on the Word
• Greg Boyd
Greg wraps up our series on spiritual disciplines by showing us the importance of meditating on God’s word. He explains how God’s word is foundational to our formation and then concludes with specific actions that can help us get God’s word inside our very essence.Topics: Disciplines, Presence of God
