The Apprentice Gathering-Greg Boyd

Cross Vision

What is your mental conception of God? Not what is your theology, but what goes on in your head when you think about God

How beautiful is your conception of God?  If your conception of God doesn’t seem too good to be true, your view might be too low.

Love is not just a verb God does, but also a noun about who God is.

Hebrews 1:1-3-The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and exact representation (character) of his being (essence)
All Scripture points to Jesus-John 5:39
1 Corinthians 15-everything in Scripture points to Jesus’ cross centered ministry

The Bible is divinely inspired.

How does the cross reveal the definitive revelation of Jesus?
On the surface, the cross is ugly but the cross is beautiful in its depth as we see it by faith

God loves us as we are so we can become who He wants us to be.
