I'll Love You Forever
Beautiful message of God's perfect parent-like love for us - his children. Greg likens our relationship with God to an adolescent's relationship with a parent. Kids are often absorbed with themselves, and make a lot of silly mistakes without thinking. They are defiant, and often don't understand the big picture or consequences. Parents love them anyway - a moving message. |

Getting in on the Secret
A mystery is some unknown, something hidden. Wisdom means being able to see into something that is otherwise hidden.
God's will, which is centered in Christ, is a mystery to the world. It is hidden from those who don't know Him. |

Meek is not weak
Why is Jesus always portrayed as a wimpy, quiet, soft man with a distant look in His eye? "Meek," from the original Greek, means "tame (i.e. not a wild animal)". Taming a wild animal doesn't make it any less of an animal. It doesn't take away the animal's strength or abilities; it gives the animal "control," and the ability to live in harmony with its surroundings. This analogy stands true for us, also. Being meek has nothing to do with being weak. On the contrary, it takes often takes more strength to remain meek in some situations, than to simply blow up. |

Worship: Putting the Creator First
Very inspiring and motivating talk about worshipping God as creator, and seeing Him in creation. What does it mean to truly worship with our whole being? How can we worship, when things are going horribly in our lives? What place does worship have in a believer's life? You don't worship ONLY when you feel the presence of God. It's WHEN you worship, that you often experience the presence of God. |

Holy Exposure!
The unfathomable strangeness and holiness of God!!! What is it like to be "in the light"?! Great message on the awesomeness of God - gave me goosebumps. |

The Glorious Bride
The value that you place on something is directly proportionate to how much you are willing to sacrifice for it. Christ shows how much he values his bride, the Church, by how much he was willing to give for it. |

Follow The Pygmy
If God is for us, who can be against us? And we know that God is indeed for us. It is God’s strength in us, and not our own competence that makes us effective for the Kingdom of God! |

What is Your Picture of God
The image that we have in our minds of God radically shapes how we think about God and more importantly, how we relate to God. What does your picture of God look like?
The place where God is most fully revealed is in the person of God’s own Son, Jesus Christ. When we grasp the truth about Christ, we can have confidence that we are drawing near to a true and accurate picture of God. |

Craving Perichoresis
No one can fully comprehend the mystery of Jesus Christ. God became a human being so that we might become reconciled with God! Dr. Boyd describes some of the ways that the Bible communicates this profound truth. |
1/12/97 |
The Trinity and Redemption
The mysterious reality of God as “three in one” is not found only in the New Testament! Even in the descriptions of the tabernacle we see indications that God is a community in which we are meant to participate. Greg explored how the three persons of God are involved in human redemption. |
4/5/98 |
The Glory of God and the Wonder of the Stars
God is transcendent, all-powerful and glorious! But God is also patient, loving, and has drawn near to us. Often we emphasize one of these aspects of God and neglect the other. Greg discussed the importance of understanding both the power and love of God. |
6/7/98 |
Sovereignty in Love
As Christians, we believe that God is all-powerful, but perhaps we don’t all agree on what true power really looks like. Greg challenged the worldly notion of power understood in terms of control. |

The Lord's Loving Discipline
Rarely do we hear sermons about God disciplining us today, but God promises to do this. Greg considered what it means that God uses suffering to discipline us. |
