Will the Real Jesus Stand Up
Do you or people you know ever wonder why Christians believe the Bible? What makes it more trust-worthy than any other religious book? No book that has been more attacked, analyzed and criticized than the Bible. Does it stand the test?
Dr. Boyd begins a three-part series on “Beliefs to build your life on.” |

Baptized into Christ
When we seek an answer to the question of who we are, we usually look inward. We assess our emotions, behavior, and thoughts. While that may give us true information about ourselves, its not the most important factor in determining who we are. |

Two Goats and a Savior
When God redeemed us, He set us free from slavery to sin. When God forgave us, He separated us from that sin. |

A Promise that cannot fail
Many believers struggle with assurance of salvation. But God has made to us this promise: if we have a heart that says yes to Him, we are assured of an inheritance. |

Putting Off the Old Self, Putting on the New
Once you receives Christ, the bible tells us that you are new creatures. The old, sinful self is instantly defeated by Christ's death on the cross. Although we are no longer captive to this old self, we still live as though we are. WE hold onto the things of our old sinful nature; This old self no longer has the power to hold us. |

Songs Hymns and Spiritual Songs
We all have had “mountain-top experiences” in life, and thank God for them, but Christianity is really more about the day-to-day life of faithfulness.
It is very difficult to feel truly “thankful” in a capitalist economy. We are conditioned to NEVER be satisfied with what we have. We need to come against this lie. |

The Son is UpWho is Jesus Christ?
Who was Jesus Christ? Why believe that He rose from the dead? This is a great message for those exploring the person of Jesus Christ. It helps bridge the gap for those who need a clear, logical understanding in order to follow Him. Faith doesn't come easy for many - we need good reasons to believe. If you are struggling with belief in God / Jesus Christ, or simply want a deeper understanding, I encourage you to listen to this message.

No Pain No Gain Resisting Sin
In America, we rarely hear the message that as Christians, we should EXPECT to suffer for our faith. If Christ was perfected by his obedience and sufferings, why should we expect to be spared suffering ourselves?
If you want to have more of God in your life, you will have to have less of You in your life. You cannot serve two masters. |
5/4/97 |
Repent
We all know that no one can truly serve two masters. We will be more loyal to one than the other. Repentance is the 180-degree turn we make when we commit to living for God instead of anything else. Repentance is not morbid self-condemnation; rather it is an intentional change of heart and mind. A decision to move in a completely new direction. |

Have You Had Your Shower Today
Some people decide NOT to become Christians because they don’t think they are good enough people. However, it is BECAUSE we are not good enough that we must rely on God’s grace toward us! Greg described the relationship between God declaring us good and our living this out. |

Christianity: A Marathon, Not a Sprint
Becoming a Christian means continually becoming more like Christ throughout our lives. We can never complete this goal before we die. That means there is no time for coasting; we must continually press on towards the goal. Running the race is painful sometimes, but don’t let that stop you. Faith is pressing on even when you don’t see the results you think you should in your life. Greg described how faith is like a marathon, not a sprint. |

Plugging Up the Drain
As Christians, we need to continually be growing. If we are not growing, we are certainly losing ground spiritually. There is no in between. Greg revealed how passion in life is rooted in walking more and more in obedience to God. |

The Need for Growing in the Faith
We often settle into comfortable routines in our lives, and we begin to take them for granted. It can be almost hypnotic. Greg addressed how these routines often drain the passion out our spiritual lives. |

Proof that Jesus was the Son of God
Who was Jesus? Was he a prophet? a good moral teacher? a lunatic? Greg takes a historical approach to the evidence to prove that Jesus was the Son of God.
