Mars Hill Church: Mark Driscoll Audio

Luke: Jesus The Prophet

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 21:05:22 -0800

Jesus preaches in his hometown of Nazareth, but the people reject him. They would rather kill Jesus than kill their religion. He teaches from 1 Kings 17 and 2 Kings 5 to show that even religious people are as needy as a starving pagan widow and that their sin is as horrific as leprosy. We see in this passage at least eight ways we could be compelled to reject Jesus.

Luke: Jesus And The Holy Spirit

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 18:26:29 -0800

Jesus was a world-class, Spirit-filled preacher of Scripture. He traveled throughout the Galilean region, preaching in synagogues. In his hometown of Nazareth, he unrolled and read from the scroll of Isaiah, teaching that he is the fulfillment of Scripture. He takes care of the poor, the captives, the blind, and the oppressed. Jesus is our riches, freedom, sight, and liberation.

32 Hours: The Church In Haiti

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:35:51 -0800

Luke: Jesus Without Sin

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 11:14:37 -0800

Temptation is like bait on a hook. Satan will bait the hook with anything enticing enough to get you to bite, then he will reel you in to death. Jesus was tempted in every way by Satan, but never sinned. Jesus responded by quoting Scripture, that is, the sword of the Spirit, even after Satan tried to turn the sword against him. Pastor Mark shares ten temptation truths to help us resist the bait.

Luke: Jesus Is Man

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 19:17:36 -0800

Jesus’ genealogy shows us that God works faithfully from one generation to the next. God redeems messed up families because of his covenantal faithfulness to and love for ill-deserving people. David, Abraham, Noah, and Adam are mentioned in Jesus’ genealogy from Luke. Each points to Jesus, but Jesus is greater than all four. If we are born again in Jesus, we are added to his family line as well.

Proverbs: Marriage

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 11:33:24 -0800

Pastor Mark Driscoll preaches on the topic of marriage from the book of Proverbs.

Jesus Christ in Albuquerque: A Special Christmas Eve Sermon

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 18:59:00 -0800

This special Christmas Eve sermon by Pastor Mark Driscoll was recorded especially for the Mars Hill Albuquerque Campus. Pastor Mark frankly addresses the lie of paganism, which confuses the Creator with creation. At Christmastime, spiritual people may give lip service to Jesus without really knowing him. They are in deep darkness, but Jesus Christ, God with us, came as the light of the world.

Generous Update - 12.20.09

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 12:12:40 -0800

Pastor Mark Driscoll shares an update on the Generous campaign, where members, regular attendees and podcasters of Mars Hill Church are being encouraged to give above and beyond their regular giving to help the gospel go forward and to see lives transformed through further innovation, expansion and maintenance made possible by the giving from the Generous Campaign.

Luke: Jesus Is God

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 19:03:49 -0800

The crowds that came to John the Baptizer wondered if he was the Christ, but John humbly pointed to Jesus. In the end, Jesus will judge everyone, separating the wheat from the chaff. Though Jesus was sinless, he came down to be baptized by John, and the entire Trinity was present. The Holy Spirit descended like a dove and rested on Jesus; the Father spoke from heaven, to reveal that Jesus is God.

Luke: Repentance and Baptism

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 19:50:09 -0800

Pastor Mark preaches from the Jordan River, where John the Baptizer baptized many, including Jesus Christ. John preached a baptism of repentance to the religious people who came to hear him, whom he called a “brood of vipers.” John urged them to live a life of true repentance instead, which includes conviction, confession, repentance, and restitution. Baptism shows that repentance is made possible through Jesus—his life, death, burial, and resurrection.

Q&A From "The Birth Of Jesus Christ" Part 2

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:48:38 -0800

Pastor Mark answers questions taken at Mars Hill Ballard after the recent sermon from Luke 2:1-7 “The Birth of Jesus Christ”

Luke: Jesus And The Temple

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 08:30:20 -0800

Pastor Mark preaches on the southern steps of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem—on the same steps that Jesus himself would have walked. Jesus was first brought up the steps by his parents to be dedicated in the temple; as a boy, Jesus debated with scholars at the temple, and as a man he taught day after day in the temple. Still, Jesus promised to destroy, and did destroy, the temple because it had become an idol. We do not need the temple today because Jesus has fulfilled all of its functions.

Special: Luke Q&A Part 1

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:11:28 -0800

Pastor Mark answers questions taken at Mars Hill Ballard after the recent sermon from Luke 2:1-7 “The Birth of Jesus Christ”.

Luke: Christ the Lord

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 08:56:19 -0800

Pastor Mark Driscoll examines Luke 2, one of the most familiar passages of Scripture, where an angel announces the birth of Jesus, “Christ the Lord,” to shepherds in a field. The angel reveals how we are to see Jesus. We are not to insert him into a false ideology, such as atheism, deism, pantheism or panentheism, or theism; these offer no hope, no good news, and no savior. Rather, we are to praise Jesus as the Savior, Christ the Lord—good news for all the people—like the angels, Mary, and the shepherds did.

Luke: The Birth Of Jesus Christ

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:01:13 -0800

Pastor Mark Driscoll examines the birth of Jesus from Luke 2 in light of four categories: the historical (what God said and did), the theological (what that means), the biographical (how that changes us), and the doxological (how we worship). He answers seven common questions about the incarnation of Jesus Christ (that is, when God became flesh and entered into human history) and shares how we can have comfort and encouragement because Jesus is like us, Jesus is unlike us, and he came to make us like him.

Luke: The Birth of John the Baptizer

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 17:29:53 -0800

Besides Jesus, John the Baptizer was the greatest man to ever live. We can learn from seven aspects of his greatness—including that he was a Spirit-filled evangelist who humbly prepared the way for Jesus. He avoided adolescence and thus is a great example of what it means to be a real man. Real men are creators and cultivators, not childish consumers, cowards, or complainers.

Luke: Mary's Song

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:03:40 -0700

Mary sings a song of praise to God, and in it lists at least 17 attributes of God and echoes a multitude of Old Testament Scriptures—even though she was likely illiterate. From her song, we are encouraged to replace worrying and coveting with worshiping, and replace anxiety with history. Even though Mary has plenty to worry about, she worships God because God has “done great things for [her].”

Luke: Mary and Elizabeth

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 18:42:02 -0700

Pregnant Mary walks many miles to visit pregnant Elizabeth so they can share in each other’s joy and be in community together. The baby in Elizabeth’s womb, John the Baptizer, leaps for joy when he hears Mary’s greeting, and Elizabeth prophesies that Mary is blessed. Thus, we see that a baby in the womb is indeed a baby, that children are a blessing from God, and that abortion is murder. We all, through sin, have bloody hands as murderers of Jesus, but he offers his nail-scarred hands—life for life—to save us. He died in our place for our sin, and the proper response is faith and worship, as exemplified by Mary, Elizabeth, and John.

Happy Birthday Mars Hill: Special 13th Anniversary

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 17:57:58 -0700

In conjunction with the Luke series, this special sermon, filmed on the real Mars Hill in Athens, aired at all campuses on October 11, 2009, the thirteenth anniversary of Mars Hill Church. Pastor Mark preaches from Acts 17:16–34, where Paul addresses the men of Athens, contextualizing and contending for the gospel of Jesus Christ and striking at the heart of their rampant idolatry, which in many ways is mirrored by our own culture today.

Luke: Jesus' Birth Prophesied

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:53:38 -0700

This week we meet Mary, the mother of Jesus. She was a teenager from a small town; a virgin, pledged to be married to Joseph. The angel Gabriel showed up and told Mary that she found favor, or grace, with God. She would conceive and give birth to the Son of God, for nothing is impossible with God. Mary responded in faith, “I am the servant of the Lord,” and thus is our great example of faith.

Luke: John the Baptizer's Birth Prophesied

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 20:20:08 -0700

John the Baptizer’s birth was prophesied in Malachi 3:1; 4:5–6. Then, after 400 years of silence, during the time of Herod “the great,” in the city of Jerusalem, at the Temple, we meet Zechariah, a priest, and his wife, Elizabeth. They were old, barren, poor, and righteous. Zechariah wasn’t a big deal; he was no one from nowhere doing, in the sight of the world, nothing. He was finally picked to go inside the Temple and burn incense, representing our prayers to God. While inside, the angel Gabriel appeared to Zechariah and told him that his prayer was answered and he would have a son who would be great. The baby, John (meaning “God is gracious”), is named by God and filled with the Spirit from his mother’s womb. But Zechariah did not believe the angel, so he was made mute. The couple returned home, Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she stayed home, praising God for taking away her reproach, or shame and disgrace, among the people.

Luke: Eyewitness to Jesus

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 22:07:11 -0700

Proverbs: Planning

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 15:59:24 -0700

God is sovereign—he is in control of every person, every thing, and every outcome that ever has been or ever will be. Yet, Proverbs has much to say about planning for the future. We should plan open-handedly, meaning make plans that honor God yet be willing to change when God calls you to something else.

Perseverance Until the New Creation

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 21:56:54 -0700

We are all worshipers we either worship God and enjoy him, or we worship the things he’s created—this is idolatry. Most people don’t realize that they worship things like cars, clothes, kids, sports, hobbies, and houses—but they do. They make sacrifices for them and find their identity in them. This sermon helps remind us all that besides Jesus, everything else is kindling.

Trial: Perseverance Until Jesus Returns

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 17:55:12 -0700

The second coming of Jesus Christ will bring an end to sin and sinners and establish a new heaven and new earth, although no one knows the day or the hour at which he will return. Pastor Mark Driscoll cautions us to beware of anyone who claims to know the exact time when Jesus will return and encourages us to persevere in our faith, because God is eternal, patient and sovereign.

Trial: Perseverance Until Judgment

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 16:03:10 -0700

Perseverance makes the last day the most important day. If you love Jesus, read the Bible, and live a life that is obedient to Scripture out of love for him, scoffers will come. Ultimately Christianity hinges on the fact that Jesus lived, died, rose and i

In warning Christians against false teachers, Peter notes that they are often bold. This means that they are very confident, pushy, and certain that they are right and that other people are wrong. What Peter is teaching is that someone can be sincere, confident, convincing, bold, and still wrong and a false teacher.

Trial: Suffering to Worship

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 03:58:59 -0700

Trials come in many shapes and sizes—but they are not all the same. Some suffer like Jesus and have their faith tested and proven. Others suffer because they’ve sinned and they are just seeing the fruit of their wrong doing.

Trial: Suffering to Serve

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:34:03 -0700

Trial: Trial and Jesus

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 04:56:40 -0800

Trials can be extraordinarily painful. The answer isn’t positive thinking or trying harder—the answer is to realize that your life is short and eternity is long. God is so much greater than your problems that you must place your hope in him.

Trial: Trial and Sin

podcast@marshillchurch.org (Pastor Mark Driscoll) — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 06:02:58 -0800
