Jesus Paid Our Debt

Last updated on: August 29, 2019 at 4:31 pm By Mark Driscoll

Romans 6:19-23 – I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is...

Coveting Invites the Demonic Into Your Desires

Last updated on: August 29, 2019 at 4:29 pm By Mark Driscoll

Matthew 27:18 – For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up. James 3:13-18 – Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there... Read more

Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?

Last updated on: October 9, 2019 at 8:26 pm By Mark Driscoll

This week’s question is from a reader with young children: “I’d like to know if Christians should celebrate Halloween? Is this appropriate for someone who is seeking God?” With much of its background in witchcraft and the occult, how should Christians interact with a holiday that it widely celebrated in the United States? Should you dress up for Halloween parties? Should your kid’s dress up for Halloween? Should you give out candy at your home? Pastor Mark explores this topic, including... Read more

Coveting Hurts Relationships

Last updated on: August 29, 2019 at 4:27 pm By Mark Driscoll

James 1:13-17 – Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming... Read more

Last updated on: August 29, 2019 at 4:25 pm By Mark Driscoll

1 Timothy 3:6-7 – He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil. James 4:6-7 – But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Pride is the counterfeit... Read more
