Highlights from the Mars Hill blogosphere.

From Resurgence and Acts 29

• Pastors from around the country gathered in Raleigh this week for Boot Camp. Resurgence posted tweets sent during Pastor Mark’s opening session.
• Steve Timmis posted some thoughts on evangelism (scarier than basejumping, or cute as a puppy?).
• Who is Steve Timmis? Read Pastor Scott Thomas’ three-part interview and find out.
• Listen to audio from Pastor Mark’s visit to Illinois last month, and read what he has to say about Sabbath.
• Pastor Jamie Munson offers six guidelines for the guys who work behind the scenes: executive pastors.

From the campuses

• Pastor Bubba Jennings shared a few anecdotes this week: a conversation about sexual sin and some encouraging stories from the Ballard campus staff.
• Bill Murray made a cameo appearance on the Lake City blog, and campus pastor James Harleman’s sermon about the life of John the Baptizer was posted this week as well.
• The West Seattle campus interviewed James Armstrong, frontman for Brothers of the Empty Tomb (a Mars Hill worship band unique for its ripping blues solos and Marvin Gaye covers).
• Pastor Steve Tompkins posted an update about Mars Hill Shoreline’s campaign to raise funds for a new location.

And more…

• Notes from last Sunday’s sermon: Temptation and Sin.
