Mars Hill New Sermon Series

So, I call Mars Hill Church in Ballard my home. I'm not an official member, because I am lazy and have no excuse. But, I do attend quite a bit, and listen to their sermons mostly. It is probably the only church I have ever been to that I really listen and understand what is going on. I love how Pastor Mark Driscoll is able to convey the Bible back to us, and not watering any of it down, and I really feel like his own understanding and interpretation is right on.

Well, the last couple of months, people have been able to email questions, any question about the Bible, the Church, etc, to Mars Hill. They were rounded up and put to vote [by visitors to Mars Hill's website] to pick the top 9 questions that Mark should speak sermons on. Last night was the first, and the topic was: Birth Control. It was intense and amazing. I really hope that they podcast the service I went to, which was 2 hours long, and had even been shortened a bit, because most of the people at my late service were single, college-type people, so Mark didn't go into as much detail on certain points. It should be up on the podcast mid-week, and I strongly suggest that you subscribe and/or download all the sermons that are coming up.

Another new thing that they did at our service, was allowed us, while Mark was speaking, to text a number from our cell phones with any question that we might have about what he's speaking on. At the end of the sermon, the questions were shown on a screen, and Mark, with no direct preparation, answered as many as he could. The first, 'Did you see the Seahawks game?' Hahaha. The rest were good questions, and he answered them well. But what an idea! Anonymously be able to directly as Mark something!

If you want to see what else he will be preaching on, check out this page:

All of the questions are listed, as well as the number of votes each question received. I'm really excited to hear the next ones, and am sad that I will be gone on tour for the next month, so I won't be able to attend the sermons. But I will be downloading!
