Downloads The Cross and the Sword was a sermon series Greg Boyd preached in 2004. It was the basis for his book, The Myth of a Christian Nation. Downloadable audio files for the series are available here.     In this sermon from August 2006, Greg revisits the theme of The Cross and the Sword, focusing specifically on the truth that the Kingdom of God always looks like the beauty of Christ. He also mentions the impact that the New York Times article has had and how God has been using that exposure for his glory.
