The History of Halloween Revisted

by Mars Hill Church on Thursday, October 29th, 2009

This is a post from the Lake City campus pastor, James Harleman, that originally appeared on the Lake City blog.
Let’s just confess: I like to dress up. As a drama geek in high school and an actor in college theater, it was inevitable. My wife and I even met in a production of Brigadoon, so [...]



New Free Additions to the Media Library

by Mars Hill Church on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

4.4 million. That’s the number of sermon downloads from Mars Hill Church’s website last year.
12,000. That’s how many downloads per day that 4.4 million breaks down to.
Each of those numbers is a person. A man in Sydney who watches the sermons with his wife. A young woman in Iowa who listens to the podcasts on [...]

Abortion Testimony: God Can Redeem Any Situation

by Mars Hill Church on Monday, October 19th, 2009

Pastor Mark’s sermon from this last week was about Mary and Elizabeth’s miraculous conceptions and how the Bible views the gift of life. He covered the contentious and heartbreaking topic of abortion from a Biblical and pastoral angle. That is one of the reasons we preach expositionally through the Scriptures; you can’t avoid the difficult [...]



“I didn’t care anymore”

by Mars Hill Church on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Changed By Jesus #54
By a female teenager at the Ballard campus
I was raised going to church every Sunday. I thought I was a Christian because I was really good at following rules and thought I was an expert on Jesus. But the personal, life-changing relationship wasn’t there.
This seemed to work for me in middle school, [...]



“I Am Not Defeated”

by Mars Hill Church on Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

This is a special guest post by Olympia member Sarah McConnell who lost her husband, Andrew, in Afghanistan last month. We grieve with Sarah, but we also celebrate with her.

“Who have you become?”

Changed By Jesus #58
By Joyce Smith, Ballard campus
Chaotic Destruction
Before becoming a Christian, I was a party girl. I was big into coke, and I’d drink like there was no tomorrow. I’d often go out seeking male attention by dressing the part of the girl who would sleep with someone on the first date.
When I finally [...]



“What did she have that I didn’t?”

by Mars Hill Church on Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Changed by Jesus #58
By Rachelle Richardson, Bellevue campus

Jesus 101
I was the typical 19-year-old at Washington State University thinking about my next class, my latest crush, and getting into the coolest sorority. I felt empty and unsettled. I had no concept that I had a Father in heaven who was plotting a rescue for my life.
Providentially, [...]
