A church without walls
Since about the 4th century, the Christian church has adopted the pagan idea that the church is to be made up of a religious professional and his audience. The professional (called father, reverend, etc.) does the religious stuff whilst the congregation sits back and enjoys the show. |

After the Order of Melchizedek, Part 1
One problem that the book of Hebrews addresses is whether the early Jewish Christians should keep the laws of the Old Covenant or not. Greg addressed the important difference between the priesthood of Jesus Christ and the Levitical priesthood. |

After the Order of Melchizedek, Part 2
Some people reject the Bible and the Christian faith because they say it is “too narrow.” God seems to be interested in only one small nation, Israel, which stems from the one individual, Abraham, and from all this comes the one savior, Jesus. What about all the other countries of the world both today and in the ancient times? Greg discussed the strategy God uses to reach the whole world. |

Dividing up the Plunder
When we forget that we live in the midst of a battlefield, our faith becomes merely religion. Whe we recognize that there is an Enemy who seeks to kill and destroy; our faith becomes the weapon of God’s victory! Salvation through Christ is not only for our personal sins, it is the power of God to defeat the enemy as well! |

Speaking the Truth in Love
No Christian should ever suffer alone. We are, by virtue of being members of the Body of Christ, members of one another! This means that we are called to share each others burdens.
God calls the church to be a place that is safe for wounded people. It is here that healing can be found and a new life begun! |

Revive Us OH LORD
Some things can be passed on from one generation to another. Faith and spiritual passion are not among them. Each generation, in fact each individual, must experience the power and presence of God for themselves. Greg discussed what a revival is and what we can do to be ready for God to “revive” us. |

The Unity of the Church
The Church seems to have lost the vision for being united as one in Christ. We fight over points of disagreement rather than cooperating for the sake of lost souls. It seems we value our own sense of “correctness” more than the souls that could be won if we worked together. Dr. Boyd calls the church back to a united vision of the Body of Christ for the sake of the lost. |

Godly Leadership Godly Submission
Christ’s command to submit to each other undermines any authoritarian claims for control. Our desire to “lord over one another” is a direct result of the Fall.
A central theme of the Gospel insists that, in the Church, there are to be NO claims to preference or power on the basis of race, gender, class or any other arbitrary distinctions. |
