ReplyDeleteHi. I don't. I suspect Rob has them in his possession as they are no longer available at Mars Hill Church in Grandville, Michigan. At one time they were held there but you had to pay for his sermons. I have two observations as a past lay pastor-teacher from Calvary (Ed Dobson) who attended Mars for 20 years: 1) go to Rob's site and look for them there; 2) go to Rob's site and listen to his media series... there's a lot. And perhaps a third observation: I've spent many years interpreting what I learned from Rob and sorting out the morass of ideas he held. I say this kindly - for I loved his fervor and zeal (and it did not put me off as it did many Christians) - but it was an admixture of many things. He, like myself, was growing away from evangelical doctrine - but for Rob, it seems only part-way along with the addition of other 'isms and ideas. I haven't kept up with him since he left Mars but here, at this website, I have spent a number of years "reforming and updating" evangelical theology before moving away from it. It took awhile but I felt then, as I do now, that traditional Christianity needs a complete facelift... and that I have found in process philosophy and its derivative, process theology. As a result, everything Rob was exploring fell into place while avoiding the pitfalls he was wading through at that time (ex. Pete Rollins Radical Theology... Process is Radical without being atheistic: see Matthew Segall's dialogues with Pete on YouTube. They may have been former roomies I think). Anyway, Rob's fine but what I'm putting up here is a more rigorous expose of Christianity, where it has been, and where it needs to go. I may be saying the same thing as Rob generally, but process is fundamentally different in many ways. So I would suggest spending a lot more time here because process takes awhile to sink in. But once it does all will be a lot clearer. Thus my recent posts on Revelation (again) before moving on to other subjects. PS. Should you find anything let me know and I'll try to link them into my site here for others to listen to. Thanks.
