New Age Crash Course
In New Age philosophy, the ultimate authority for determining truth is personal experience. Demonic forces have the power to give people supernatural experiences (soul travel, channeling, crystal power, predicting the future, and many more). Because these experiences are so vivid and real, it’s hard to convince people that this way is not the way of truth. |

New Age Conclusion
Another of the basic teachings of the New Age movement is that of moral relativism. This is the belief that there are no hard and fast rules about right and wrong. |

You Only Go Around Once
Reincarnation is an idea gaining popularity in our society. Many people believe that the only fair way to explain the universe is that each person has an unlimited number of lifetimes to attain perfection. |

Feel Goodism
The idea that what you think largely determines your behavior is in fact a Biblical concept. The modern self-esteem movement teaches this also, but not in a Biblical context. |

Materialism
Capitalism has proven to be the most successful economic force in the world. The factors in that success are a mix of good and evil. |

In search of the Holy Grail
In the middle ages, a myth was started about the cup that Jesus drank from at the last supper. It was thought that if a person were to find this cup and drink from it, they would become immortal.
Today, people have many other things that they look to for getting life... |

The Rock that Rolled
The Easter sermon given at Woodland Hills Church in 1995.
Not everything that we believe is of equal importance. Dr. Boyd address what the Bible considers to be of First Importance! That is, the resurrection of Christ. All people seek meaning in their lives, but many fail to recognize the centrality and necessity of Christ’s resurrection to that search. |

Unholy Laughter
The Bible has a high call for us to consider when it comes to how we use words and communication with each other. We are to do all things for the building up of others.
Perhaps the most common sin in America today is greed...[which is] Collecting for ourselves what we should be offering to others. |

Sin Inquity and Racism
Our American individualism often prevents us from understanding covenants between people and God in the Old Testament. Dr. Boyd addresses one area, corporate sin and punishment, that challenges our modern sensibilities.
Whole groups of people are sometimes punished for the sins of an individual. Is there justice in this? Dr. Boyd discusses how a biblical understanding of covenant can help answer this question. |

The Radiant Savior
Many people today believe that moral and religious convictions are all relative. Dr. Boyd exposes the many problems with giving up on God as the one true Absolute.
In the Old Testament, God used prophets to speak the truth to God’s people. In the New Testament God used Jesus Christ to bring the truth. Christ is the one true absolute in the world. |

Who do You say that I AM?
Jesus asked Peter a question that we all must answer, “Who do you say that I am?”

The Four Loves
In the world of the New Testament, there were four different words for “Love.” Dr. Boyd highlights the importance of understanding the different forms of love and which types of love you should pursue in your various relationships. |

The Titanic
Most Christians are very aware that this world will not last forever. Even though we know this, we still live our lives as though this life is all there is. When you are on a sinking ship, how much money you have is of very little importance. The serious question is, "What will float?" Greg used the analogy of the Titanic to call our attention to the things that will truly endure forever! |

Superboy Leaps Into the Dark
Knowledge without wisdom is very dangerous. Greg addressed the consequences of our exponential growth in knowledge without a corresponding growth in godly wisdom. |

Timeless Truths and Cultural Packaging
A very important problem in the church today is understanding what in the Bible is an eternal principal and what is a culturally specific application of some principle. Greg offered three guidelines for distinguishing the timeless truths from the culturally relative applications. |

Bondage Beliefs and the Diabolic Double Bind, Part 1
As spiritual beings, we are responsible for our thoughts and actions. Don’t let the world tell you who you are! We are to take captive every thought and bring it under the authority of Jesus Christ. Greg challenged the church against conforming to the lies of the world. |
7/5/1998 |
Bondage Beliefs and the Diabolic Double Bind, Part 2
Spiritual health depends on our believing the truth that God has revealed to us. Spiritual sickness amounts to believing and then living in the lies that the world tells us about ourselves. Greg continued to discuss the path to freedom from bondage to false beliefs. |

Repent
A recent poll states that, in America, the number of people who think they are going to heaven is LARGER than the number of people who actually believe in heaven! Aside from being absurd, this indicates that we Americans generally think we are doing pretty good spiritually and morally and see little need to repent. Greg continued this discussion of what it will take if we expect to see a revival in America today. |
