01/29/2006 - Bondage Beliefs and the Diabolic Double Bind - Part II
|
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.
|
|
01/22/2006 - Bondage Beliefs and the Diabolic Double Bind - Part I
|
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.

12/18/2005 - 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...

12/11/2005 - Grab The Goods - 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.
|
|
12/04/2005 - 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.
|
|
11/27/2005 - 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.
|
|
11/20/2005 - New Age Crash Course - Part II
|
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.
|
|
11/13/2005 - New Age Crash Course - Part I
|
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.

11/06/2005 - The Rock That Rolled
|
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.
|
|
10/23/2005 - Touched by an Angel - Part III
|
Many people have argued that Jesus was actually an angel or some other type of being that is less than fully God. There is a sound Biblical defense against this claim. In the 1990's people became increasingly interested in spiritual things of all sorts. As Christians this presents us with new opportunities as well as new obstacles to sharing our faith.
|
|
10/16/2005 - Touched by an Angel - Part II
|
PIf you are curious about angels and demons and what they have to do with God's good news for the world, this sermon is for you. Christians have authority over demonic forces. This means that we have nothing to fear, but outside of Christ, there is nothing that can be done to prevent spiritual attacks.
|
|
10/09/2005 - Touched by an Angel - Part I
|
People are more interested in angels today than they used to be. This means that the church needs to respond with sound teaching on what angels are and what role they play in the grand scheme of things.
|
|
10/02/2005 - Money and the Body of Christ
|
Money. America's heartbeat and lifeblood. Money is also one of the most suspicious areas of Church life in the eyes of the general public. Most churches still teach that you should give 10% of your income as an offering. Is this justified?
|
|
09/18/2005 - Will the Real Jesus Stand Up
|
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.
|
|
09/11/2005 - Is the Bible Credible?
|
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."
|
|
09/04/2005 - Divorce and Remarriage - Part 2
|
Churches have often been unwelcoming to people who have been divorced. We need to examine more closely what the Bible Does teach about divorce and other times when we fail.
|
|
08/28/2005 - Divorce and Remarriage - Part 1
|
We all believe that God has a plan for our lives. But often we are not obedient to God's calling. Does divorce or some other tragic failure in our lives make us "second class Christians?" The God of the Bible is the God of second chances and new beginnings! The hope and mercy of God is new every day.
|
|
08/07/2005 - Is All Truth Relative? Absolutely Not!
|
Relativism is the denial of an absolute by which we live our lives. We decide for ourselves what is right or wrong rather than conform to God's will for our lives. Greg confronted the lie behind this sort of thinking.
|
|
07/31/2005 - Husbands as Head of the Family
|
The Bible teaches that marriage partners are to Submit to one Another out of reverence for Christ. But the church has often taught something very different. The Bible Does teach us God's ideal for marriage, the question is whether the church has passed that message on to Christian families accurately.
|
|
07/24/2005 - Women in Ministry
|
What does the Bible have to say about women holding positions of authority in the body of Christ. Should women be allowed in ministry?
|
|
07/17/2005 - Homosexuality in The Bible
|
The Bible says that homosexuality is sin, but that doesn't justify any prejudice or judgment. We are called to extend love, grace, and acceptance to all sinners without compromising the truth.
|
|
07/10/2005 - Evil and the 8 Second Interval
|
We all know that the world is a very complicated place. We long for simplicity and clear answers to our questions, especially when bad things happen to us or those we love. Greg warned against giving simple answers to the question, "Why?"
|
|
07/03/2005 - Evil and Chaos in the World
|
When dealing with evil in the world, we have a choice to make. Will we ask the question "WHY" and seek to find out who is to blame? Or will we ask the question "HOW" and seek to cooperate with God in bringing good out of every evil situation? Greg addressed the problem of evil and chaos in the world.
