Sermon Clip: Love: It’s All About the Cross
In this sermon clip, Greg Boyd talks about how Colossians 3:14 and the definition of love.

Confronting Divine Determinism
Part of the fallen human condition inclines us to shirk our moral responsibility and accept that everything is predetermined, whether by God, the gods, fate, or blind chance.
