			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may not know this, but being image bearers of God means that we are spiritual by nature.</p>
<p>Through Jesus, God has given us the opportunity to be made spiritually alive. Jesus calls himself “the bread of life” (John 6:35). He says that he is “the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:5). And in John 11:25, he tells Martha that he is “the resurrection and the life.” Jesus makes it clear throughout scripture that he is our source of life, our lifeline.</p>
<p>A common misunderstanding is that spiritual death means that there is no spiritual activity at all. But because Jesus is life, the biblical picture of death is not a lack of activity; it’s not being connected to and related to him.</p>
<p>When we are disconnected or unrelated to Jesus, our only options are artificial life support systems. When we look for life in other places, we are setting ourselves up completely for demonic masquerades that appear to be life-giving, but will devour in the end (1 Corinthians 11:14; 1 Peter 5:8).</p>
<p>It is critical that we don’t settle merely for spirituality as our mark of being related to Jesus. We must be connected to him as our sole source of life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://ballard.marshillchurch.org/files/2010/02/prepmarriage_leadership_meeting.jpg" alt="Leadership Interest Meeting" /><br />
At Mars Hill, we highly value what the Bible says about marriage. At the Ballard Campus, hundreds of couples either are interested in pursuing marriage or actually get married each year, and the numbers continue to rise. The marriage ministry exists to teach, equip and support engaged and newlywed couples to begin well in their marriages with the ultimate goal being for them to finish well one day as they pass the torch of faith onto the next generation. </p>
<p>This is of utmost importance as the newlywed couples of Mars Hill are the future leaders of the church. As we continue to boldly proclaim the Gospel in this city, the church will need to invest in engaged and newlywed couples and help generate a new tier of leaders. A healthy, Biblical marriage is a very real and tangible opportunity to share the Gospel with our world, city and culture, and the vision and goal is that thousands of people will come to know Christ as our married couples represent Jesus well to them. </p>
<p>We are not looking for perfectly married couples to lead in this ministry. What we are looking for are husbands and wives who can willingly and confidently declare and demonstrate that the covenantal love, grace, and forgiveness of Jesus that has made a difference in their lives and will continue to have a profound impact in their marriage and mission for the duration of their lifetime together. If that sounds like you and your spouse, prayerfully consider how you can serve in this ministry.</p>
<p>To be considered for leadership you and your spouse will need to be Mars Hill members (or pursuing membership) who are involved in community at the Ballard Campus and married at least one year. There will be an informational meeting on <strong>Sunday, March 7</strong>, from <strong>1:30-3:00</strong> in the <strong>Paradox</strong>. Please join Pastor Phil and his wife Jen, as they will further explain opportunities to serve in the premarital and newlywed ministry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My first week as campus pastor and I’ve already had two conversations about what we are going to do for Good Friday and Easter. </p>
<p>Really?</p>
<p>How about next Wednesday when all our mid-week programming fires up: Children’s Ministry, Proxy (Student ministry), Redemption Night, Spiritual Disciplines? That’s what I should write about right now…right? </p>
<p>But those conversations have caused me to start praying that God would bring an incredible harvest during Easter; that hundreds of people would find Jesus as their savior; that many would declare Jesus as their Lord by being baptized.</p>
<p>So, I thought I should invite you to join me.  Join me in asking God for a great Easter harvest.  Join me in asking God to give you open doors to invite your neighbors, friends and family.  Join me in asking the Holy Spirit to create a hunger and thirst for righteousness, and that hundreds of conversations would happen the week after Easter in houses and coffee shops, on jogging trails and in gyms.  Let’s ask Jesus to grace us by joining him on mission to gospel our city.</p>
<p>Oh, and it really would be great to see you this Wednesday, January 20th, as we begin our midweek programming.</p>
