Men and Marriage (Part 3)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:00:00 -0800

Marriage is a covenant, not a contract. Every covenant—including the new covenant of salvation—has a head, who is ultimately responsible for the covenant. The husband is the covenant head of a marriage; he is responsible for his marriage, his wife, and his kids. Similarly, Christ took that which was not his fault—our sin—and he made it his responsibility on the cross. He is our covenant head.

Friend with Benefits (Part 2)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 03:00:00 -0800

God the Trinity is a friend and has friends, and he made us in his image and likeness for friendship with him and one another. Marriage is about friendship. How’s your friendship with Jesus? With your spouse?

New Marriage, Same Spouse (Part 1)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 19:00:00 -0800

Pastor Mark kicks off Real Marriage by sharing his and Grace’s marriage testimony, in which God has given them a new marriage with the same spouse. You can defeat Satan in your life and marriage by the blood of the Lamb (Rev. 12:11). Jesus died for sin so you can put your sin to death. Because of the blood of the Lamb, there’s a testimony. In a testimony, Jesus is the hero. What’s your testimony?

All Things to All People (Part 5)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:51:00 -0800

Pastor Mark visits 9 of 14 Mars Hill churches, seeing God’s work and asking what mission looks like for each. Being on mission means having the Father’s heart, then going to work with him. Just like the Apostle Paul, we become all things to all people, doing whatever we can to reach as many as possible. What does it mean to be a missionary—not just a Christian—in the city where God has placed you?

What does Jesus say about Christmas?

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:45:00 -0800

What does Jesus say about Christmas? We are invited to find out as we listen in on a conversation Jesus had with Nicodemus in John 3 and learn that Christmas is about God’s love, His only son Jesus and the gift of eternal life.

Christmas is all about Jesus

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:45:00 -0800

Jesus was born to adopt us as sons and daughters of God.

Good Tidings Of Great Joy

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:45:00 -0800

In Luke 2:10 an angel announced announced the birth of Jesus as “good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” The good news we celebrate at Christmas is of a God who was willing to enter this dark world as the Light of the World in order to overcome and defeat both the darkness in us and the darkness around us.

Receive Power (Part 4)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 19:50:00 -0800

Sinners assume they can’t change, religious people assume they can change themselves, and spiritual people want to change but open themselves to any force or power to do so. You do need to change and you do need another power to change you, but it must be the power of the Holy Spirit—which is what empowered Jesus’ life. Repent, receive the Holy Spirit, become a new person, and live a new life.

Where Are You? (Part 3)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 22:42:00 -0800

One of the core values of Mars Hill Church is complementarian relationships. Pastor Mark explores what this means practically by answering three important questions with Scripture, starting in the beginning: what is God’s intent for men and women (Genesis 1–3), what is God’s intent for men and women in the church (1 Timothy 2–3), and what is God’s intent for men and women in the home.

Of First Importance (Part 2)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 12:31:00 -0800

Pastor Mark preaches through 1 Corinthians 15:1–11 on gospel-centered theology, one of the core values of Mars Hill Church. Just as for Paul, our theological convictions lead to hard work empowered by the Holy Spirit. We believe that the gospel is most important, Jesus is alive and he saves from sin and religion, and God’s grace results in making disciples and planting churches.

God's Work, Our Witness (Part 1)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 20:30:00 -0800

This documentary gives a glimpse at the ups and downs of the early years of Mars Hill Church. It’s a story that includes didgeridoos during offering and one-dollar bills in the tithe—but more than that, it’s a story of how God was incredibly faithful to a group of people who had no idea what they were doing, except that they were committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ and to serving his church.

Kiss The Feet (Part 100)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 18:59:00 -0800

The resurrected Jesus teaches and commissions his disciples before he returns to heaven. Because Jesus is alive, because the Bible is true, and because we believe the gospel—the good news that Jesus died for sin and rose for salvation—we should witness and worship. Luke’s great biography of Jesus’ life closes with Jesus’ people worshiping him—literally kissing his nail-scarred feet.

How Jesus Taught the Bible (Part 99)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 21:20:00 -0800

Jesus’ first priority after he physically rose from death was to teach people the Scriptures that are all about him. Just like the men walking to Emmaus, we are all spiritually blind until God opens our eyes. We see six ways in which all of the Old Testament is connected to Jesus: events, titles, prophecies, Christophanies, types, and like service. The book that God wrote is all about Jesus.

God's Work, Our Witness - Teaser Trailer (Part 0)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 12:30:00 -0800

Fifteen years ago, Pastor Mark Driscoll and Grace planted Mars Hill Church in their Wallingford living room. Today, over 12,000 people come each Sunday to ten churches in two states—with four more churches launching January 15. In our next sermon series, “God’s Work, Our Witness,” we’ll celebrate what God has done here, is doing, and will do in the years to come.

Jesus’ Burial and Resurrection (Part 98)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 19:29:00 -0800

Pastor Mark preaches at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem, the site that could be where Jesus was buried, temporarily. No one knows exactly where Jesus was buried—because he’s not there. Nobody is in Jesus’ tomb. He is alive; this fact is the bedrock of the Christian faith. Without the resurrection of Jesus, Christianity does not exist. If Jesus is dead, we are dead; if Jesus is alive, we are alive.

Jesus’ Crucifixion and Death (Part 97)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 20:21:00 -0800

Nothing is as important as this: Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. Jesus was brutally murdered by us, but also for us. On the cross he became our substitute, our sin was imputed to him, and he became cursed, which was more difficult to bear than even his physical suffering. Like those who were present on that day, you can respond in passive unbelief, active unbelief, or belief.

Jesus on Trial (Part 96)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:41:00 -0700

Mars Hill Elders preach through Luke 23:1-25 about Jesus on Trial, continuing our series on Luke’s Gospel: Investigating The Man Who Is God

Ministry Marriages

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 16:39:00 -0700

In this special episode we bring you Pastor Mark Driscoll’s session, “Ministry Marriages,” from the NewSpring Leadership Conference, held at NewSpring Church in Anderson, South Carolina, in September 2011. He shares true stories of renowned ministers and missionaries, painting a heartbreaking picture of what it looks like when marriage and family are sacrificed in worship to the idol of ministry.

Jesus, the Son of God (Part 95)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 21:17:00 -0700

Jesus is arrested, blindfolded, beaten, and blasphemed. He’s asked a series of questions, all of which boil down to one issue: is he the only God? Knowing that he will be crucified, Jesus declares himself to be the only God in three ways: he says he is the Christ, the Son of Man, and the Son of God. Some of you have been told Jesus never said he was God. He did. That’s why he was put to death.

Jesus and Judas (Part 94)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 16:07:00 -0700

On Mars Hill’s fifteenth birthday, we examine a sobering text of Scripture and lessons to learn from the life of Judas. Judas was no victim. Judas’ desire was to betray Jesus, and Satan came and empowered that desire. The Bible doesn’t tell us why Judas did what he did; “Could I do the same?” Each of us must humbly, soberly pray for God’s grace to not be a Judas.

Thor

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 09:48:00 -0700

A heavenly father. A prideful son. Two sons are examined in this summer blockbuster, hammering home deep Esau in the Bible. Thor examines how we relate to ourselves, others, and our truths about jealousy and pride that have existed long before even Jacob and fathers. Join Pastor James as we see how this narrative measures up against the true story of which we all share a part.

Jesus Sweats Blood (Part 93)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 20:16:00 -0700

Jesus is in absolute agony, sweating blood, as he prays honestly with the Father. Every sin is like a drop into a cup. We pour the sin in. God, at the end of this life, pours out commensurate wrath. Yet Jesus submits his will to the Father’s; he exchanges places with us on the cross and drinks every single drop of cup of the wrath of God. The cross is where the love of God is most clearly seen.

Jesus, Tough and Tender (Part 92)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 19:14:00 -0700

On his way to the cross, the Scriptures give Jesus confidence, courage, and clarity. When life gets hard, go to the book that God wrote. God wants us to receive and consider the whole book (or tota sola Scriptura), and to connect all of it to Jesus. Jesus does this when he recalls Isaiah 52–53—written 700 years prior—and shows how it promised his coming, his crucifixion, and his resurrection.

Jesus and Peter (Part 91)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 20:28:00 -0700

Jesus knows who will fail him, and when, where, and how. He knows that all of us will fail him, even the best among us—including Peter, the senior leader of Jesus’ disciples. After Peter fails Jesus, he weeps bitterly and repents quickly, as should we. The good news is Jesus fails no one. He restores his friendship with Peter and then encourages him to tell his story in order to strengthen others.

What does it mean to be a disciple?

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 10:54:00 -0700

What does it mean to be a disciple? Has the word lost its meaning on us since we say it so often? Do we spend time thinking on it deeply and understanding it practically? From pastor Bill Clem’s upcoming book Disciple we learn that disciple means getting your identity from Jesus.

Jesus and True Greatness (Part 90)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 19:04:00 -0700

Jesus’ disciples argue over who is the greatest, but Jesus doesn’t rebuke their desire, he redirects it. He redeems the pursuit of greatness, showing the difference between worldly and godly greatness. True, godly greatness is simply service. Are you selfish or a servant? When we live a life that glorifies God and serves others, we receive joy in this life and eternal rewards in the life to come.

X-Men: First Class

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 12:24:00 -0700

Pastor James Harleman explores the narrative and themes of “X-Men: First Class” and their intersection with the narratives of scripture and theology.

The Adjustment Bureau

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 12:22:00 -0700

Pastor James Harleman explores the narrative and themes of “The Adjustment Bureau” and their intersection with the narratives of scripture and theology.

Asking and Abiding

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 12:16:00 -0700

Pastor James looks at the many facets of prayer life, an old hymn by Joseph Scriven, and how we neglect and even scriptural defend our pitiable state of prayer instead of enjoying a rich, abundant life of prayer with our God.

Elephant Room - Love The Gospel vs. Share The Gospel

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:37:00 -0700

In this special episode we break from Luke to bring you content from the Elephant Room, or “the conversations you never thought you’d hear” between seven influential pastors. This conversation—from March 2011, moderated by Pastor James MacDonald of Harvest Bible Chapel, Chicago—addresses loving the gospel vs. sharing the gospel.

Jesus and the Last Supper (Part 89)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 18:30:00 -0700

Jesus celebrates his Last Supper with the disciples, and we see Communion is about Jesus. When you see things from Jesus’ perspective, you realize that his plan is better than yours, his Word is more reliable than yours, and his love is bigger than yours. He’s eager to share this meal with us because he loves us with a love that’s spelled out in blood, a love that we remember with bread and cup.

Jesus and the Pharisees

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 11:18:00 -0700

Jesus and the Pharisees, a woman and her tears, the scandal and the grace.

The "One-Another" of the Gospel

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:47:00 -0700

Reflecting on the past year and looking forward to the year ahead at Mars Hill Church , Pastor Tim Gaydos delivers a startling message on the “one-another” of the gospel. Through the writer of Hebrews, God provides us with the fuel of true community in the gospel. He then directs us to what that looks practically as we walk out our salvation in Jesus.

Confronting Eastside Culture

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:45:00 -0700

The big idea is that churches can take conform to the culture of their community rather than confronting it. The Church of Laodicea became complacent and comfortable like her city rather than being conformed into people who think, feel, speak and act like Jesus. The solution to their problem was closeness to Jesus.

Elephant Room - Culture in the Church vs. Church in the Culture

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 23:01:00 -0700

The Parable of the Fig Tree (Part 88)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 16:08:00 -0700

After Jesus predicts signs that his kingdom is coming, he challenges his disciples (and us) to wake up and be alert. When we are weighed down by the cares of this life, we miss Jesus and his kingdom. But when we withdraw in prayer, worship the Giver, and steward our resources for the kingdom, eagerly anticipating Jesus’ return, we see how he advances his kingdom through us.

Repossess 2010

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 15:48:00 -0700

In this special episode, we take a break from our Luke sermon series to bring you a talk Pastor Mark gave to middle school and high school students at Repossess, a youth event held at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, in September 2010. In this talk, he unpacks who Jesus is and what Jesus did for every person, and challenges his listeners to decide who their God is.

The Times of the Gentiles (Part 87)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 19:35:00 -0700

Jesus knows the future (foreknowledge), tells the future (prophecy), and orchestrates the future (sovereignty). He tells us there are three epochs in human history: Judaism, the times of the Gentiles, and his return. Jesus promised the temple would be destroyed, it happened. Jesus promised people from all nations would be saved, it’s happening. Jesus promised he would return, it will happen.

True Grit

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 11:11:00 -0700

Pastor James explores how True Grit explores various narrative themes of suffering, justice, and grace, and what our foundation is in a broken world.

The Worst Tragedies Can Be the Best Opportunities (Part 86)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 18:26:00 -0700

Jesus requires us to wear bifocals when he speaks of events that were near to his day and far off. He prophesies that the temple will be destroyed, false teachers will arise, and sin and persecution will continue. So what do we do? Jesus tells us: Make the most of every opportunity. At the cross, the worst tragedy in the history of the world became the best opportunity for the hope of the world.

Q&A from Resurgence: Our Fathers & Our Future

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 10:05:00 -0700

In this special episode, we take a break from our regular Luke sermon series to bring you footage of a Q&A panel, moderated by Pastor Justin Holcomb, that took place in Orlando this year, in which Pastors Mark Driscoll, RC Sproul, Tullian Tchividjian, and Matt Chandler field questions about the four distinctives of the new movement in Christianity, and the relation between the law and the gospel.

Four Points of the Movement

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 19:57:00 -0700

For this special episode, we take a break from our Luke sermon series to bring you a talk Pastor Mark Driscoll gave at a Resurgence conference in Orlando, Florida earlier this year. In this talk, he addresses the four theological distinctives of the current global movement in Christianity: Reformed theology, complementarian relationships, Spirit-filled lives, and missional churches.

The Father of a Murdered Son (Part 82)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 23:09:00 -0700

In this intense parable of the wicked tenants, Jesus gives us a look at what it’s like for God to deal with us. God made this world. It’s his vineyard, and he has allowed us to steward and cultivate it and be fruitful as tenants. Yet, when it comes time to collect our dues to him, we beat his messengers and then, wanting the inheritance for ourselves, murder the beloved son he sent.

Angry Jesus Cleanses the Temple (Part 81)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 19:38:00 -0700

The temple was intended to be the center of worship and teaching for the Israelites, but corruption had taken over. The religious leaders were not honoring God, but instead were taking advantage of the poor, not practicing hospitality, and pocketing money for themselves. So Jesus, in righteous anger, drove the dishonest businessmen out. We learn from Jesus how to have a godly, righteous anger.

Jesus Christ Is Lord, King, and Savior (Part 80)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 21:10:00 -0700

Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a colt, just as Zechariah prophesied, as a humble prince to take his bride, the church. But as he surveys the city, he weeps for it. This should be our heart, as well, as the Holy Spirit breaks our heart for the cities in which we live.

Investing for Jesus (Part 79)

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Mars Hill Church Seattle) — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 13:58:00 -0700

In this parable, a nobleman gives ten of his servants one mina each to engage in business with while he goes away to receive a kingdom. Those who steward their mina well are entrusted with cities to oversee; those who don’t have theirs taken away. Similarly, Jesus is a King with a kingdom, and we have the opportunity to be faithful servants of Jesus’ kingdom while we await his second coming.
