New Age Q&A Night

Prayer Q&A Night

• Greg Boyd, Paul Eddy

Is prayer really that important? Does it really play a purpose in the grand scheme of things? Why does it seem like some prayers work while others don’t give us the results we want? If our prayers don’t seem to work, who is to blame? Greg and Paul tackle these and other questions during our Prayer Q&A from February 24, 2008.

Spiritual Warfare and Holy War Q&A

• Greg Boyd, Paul Eddy

In July of 2007, Greg did a short sermon series on spiritual warfare that concluded with a Q&A during our weekend services. Unfortunately, time ran out with many good questions left! This Q&A from December 2, 2007 continues the conversation with Greg, Paul Eddy (our Teaching Pastor) and Woodland Hills local missionary, Phil Friesen. The Q&A focused on spiritual warfare and related topics, including the issue of physical warfare and violence in the Old Testament.

Spiritual Warfare Q&A

• Greg Boyd, Paul Eddy

This last weekend concluded our sermon series on spiritual warfare, a topic that can be neglected or overly stressed in churches. As followers of Christ, it is important to recognize that there is a spiritual side to our world, in which principalities and powers are in opposition to the ways of God. In Christ, we can overcome and resist these influences both individually and collectively. To bring a biblically balanced approach to the topic, Greg Boyd (Senior Pastor) and Paul Eddy (Teaching Pastor) held a Q&A time to help answer questions from attenders. These audio files are a collection of all the questions and answers addressed during our three weekend services.

Topics: Pain & Suffering, Problem of Evil, Spiritual Warfare

Escaping the Matrix Conference

• Bobby Bodenhamer, Greg Boyd, Mike Davis

The Escaping The Matrix Conference took place on December 9-10, 2005, at Woodland Hills Church. The conference was based on the book Escaping the Matrix, by Greg Boyd and Al Larson, and was led by Greg, Mike Davis, from Ontario, CA and Bobby Bodenhamer, from Gastonia, NC. Like the characters in The Matrix movie trilogy, our minds can get hardwired to distortions that lie so deep within us that we aren't even aware of them. Whether it's habitual sin, thought patterns, damaged emotions or even phobias, we all know of something that is holding us back. At the Escaping the Matrix conference, Greg Boyd, Mike Davis and Bobby Bodenhamer bring together the biblical and neurological truths behind such struggles. Their practical examples and exercises will help you transform your thought processes to experience a deeper life in Christ. Are you prepared to escape the world's Matrix that controls you? Get ready to free your mind.

The Passion Movie Q&A

• Greg Boyd, Paul Eddy

After watching The Passion of the Christ, did you or an unbelieving friend leave the theater with unanswered questions? Perhaps you’re wondering, “Did that really happen? Who was Jesus? Why were his last hours so important that a movie star was willing to pay for the production of a film depicting them?” On March 16, 2004, Greg gave a presentation and answered audience questions about the claims of Jesus and the New Testament.
