A Word From Greg
Heh peeps, the ReKnew Team had an AWESOME weekend hanging out together and dreaming big dreams about how God wants to use this ministry to further his will. I am SO blessed to be surrounded by some super-smart, super-creative and super-visionary folks!
The ReKnew Team as well as the leadership of Woodland Hills Church really feels a sense of urgency about spreading the Good News of a Jesus-looking God and a Jesus-looking kingdom. There is a very well-organized and well-funded movement out there that is aggressively putting forth a (to be frank) ugly, unloving, omni-controlling picture of God and an ugly, triumphalist picture of the Kingdom — neither of which look anything like the self-sacrificial God & kingdom that we find in Jesus. It’s time for those who have been captivated by the beauty of the true God revealed in Jesus to work-together to proclaim this vision!
Please keep ReKnew as well as Woodland Hills Church in prayer. And pray about how God wants to use YOU in this movement.
Stay tuned to ReKnew.org and whchurch.org. Good things are coming! A Jesus-looking movement is already on the rise! Join it!
Blessings,
Greg

The One True Source
In the weeks to come, I’d like to share some thoughts on each of the nine convictions (expressed in A ReKnew Manifesto) that ReKnew seeks to promote. The ReKnew team is convinced that this “Manifesto” articulates aspects of the Kingdom that were largely neglected or misconstrued in traditional Christianity, but that will characterize the new Kingdom…
When Our Images of God are Faulty
I’m fleshing out the third proclamation of the ReKnew Manifesto, which challenges us to rethink our conception of God. In the previous post I noted that, since our relationship with God is mediated through our mental picture of him, our image completely determines how we feel about God and what our relationship with him will…
Sermon Clip: Marshmallow Advent
In last weekend’s sermon, Greg tells us about Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s writings on advent, and how getting in touch with our emptiness through silence and solitude can lead to peace. This short clip explains advent and the advantages of delayed gratification. You can download the entire sermon as well as other sermon resources by visiting the…
Why Bart Ehrman Doesn’t Have to Ruin Your Christmas (Or Your Faith) Part 2

Reflections on the Supremacy of Christ (Part 1)
In my previous post I argued that the Bible tells a story in which the culminating event – the coming of Christ – reframes everything that preceded it. Though it is all inspired, not everything in it should carry equal weight for us. Rather, everything leading up to Christ, including the portraits of God, must…
Reflections on the Supremacy of Christ (Part 2)
Whereas most Christians place the revelation of God in Christ alongside of other portraits of God and end up with an amalgamated image of God, we at ReKnew encourage believers to base their understanding of God completely on Christ, and especially on Christ crucified. And we encourage disciples to work to reinterpret through the lens…
