Pray For Us

by Pastor Mark Driscoll on Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

“I have so much business I cannot get on without spending three hours daily in prayer.” —Martin Luther
“Pray for us.” This simple phrase appears throughout the Bible as God’s leaders ask their people to intercede on their behalf. We too would encourage you to pray for us. Specifically, we would appreciate prayers of repentance, praise, [...]



Nightline Interview on Idolatry

by Pastor Mark Driscoll on Thursday, August 6th, 2009

The kind folks at ABC’s Nightline made their third trip to Mars Hill yesterday. The first time they came out we talked about how Jesus has blessed Mars Hill. The second time got interesting because we opened our doors to host a public debate about the existence of Satan that included Deepak Chopra. This time Nightline [...]



Free eBook for all the dads

by Pastor Mark Driscoll on Sunday, June 21st, 2009

For my fellow “poppa daddies” I wanted to make available a free PDF copy of my new book Pastor Dad. It’s a short book, based upon a sermon I preached some years ago, that I hope is of benefit to dads and the children God has entrusted to their care. It includes some stories about [...]

Our relationship with Logos Bible Software continues to develop, and they have recently added a new feature to their website which will give all Mars Hill attendees 25 percent off on their base products.

The Driscolls are Going to Albuquerque

by Pastor Mark Driscoll on Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

My wife Grace and I made our first trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico, many years ago when we had just one young child. It was during the hot air balloon season; the city was filled with visitors, and the sky was filled with colors. We absolutely loved the city as it had a cool, young, [...]



How to Preach in Different Time Zones Simultaneously

by Pastor Mark Driscoll on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Change is the only constant at Mars Hill Church. And we’ve got another change coming as we prepare to go from seven to one hundred campuses in the next decade.
Our first out-of-state campus will be in another time zone (official announcement coming soon), which has precipitated a change in our sermon delivery method. Beginning [...]



Enjoying God’s Easter Grace

by Pastor Mark Driscoll on Sunday, April 12th, 2009

An unedited day end Easter blog from Pastor Mark
The first Easter we enjoyed as Mars Hill church was in 1996. We were in core group phase of our church plant and I was twenty-five years of age. We were meeting only at nights as we could not find or afford a Sunday morning location. Our [...]



God’s Grace Is Everywhere

by Pastor Mark Driscoll on Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

The past few weeks we have seen incredible and continual evidences of God’s grace at Mars Hill Church. We have made budget the past month, which is amazing considering the economic climate we are in and the fact that many of our people are young in both age and faith. We have seen our attendance [...]



ABC Debate on Satan Tonight

by Pastor Mark Driscoll on Friday, March 20th, 2009

Tonight (Friday, March 20), the Ballard Campus of Mars Hill Church will be hosting a debate I am participating in on the existence of Satan. On my side, arguing that Satan does exist, is my Christian sister Annie Lobert, who works to free women from sexual abuse and slavery. On the other side, arguing that [...]



Testimonies About Submitting to Authority

by Pastor Mark Driscoll on Thursday, February 26th, 2009

On Sunday, February 22, I preached on Submission to Authority from 1 Peter 2:13–17.
In the sermon I stressed the point that when it comes to texts such as these, where submitting to ungodly authority is mentioned, the examples preached are often too theoretical, philosophical, and hypothetical to be practical. So using The City (our [...]

Is Polygamy Biblical?

In light of the Raymond Jessop and Yearning For Zion cult, Pastor Mark addressed the question of whether or not polygamy is Biblical.
Various cults, aberrant sects, and perverts make the case that the Bible does mention polygamy and so it is biblically acceptable. However, they fail to acknowledge that the Bible speaks of human sin [...]

CHANGED BY JESUS - October 14th, 2009

“I didn’t care anymore”

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, [...]
