One Example of Why Bible Teaching Matters

Last updated on: October 12, 2017 at 8:01 am By Mark Driscoll

Five days a week, we send out Daily Devotions to those who sign up [SIGN UP HERE]. Our prayer is that people will be loved and served through the Bible teaching we give away. Sometimes, people send us an email back letting us know how the Lord used the Bible teaching in their life. We really appreciate these encouraging responses and one this week was so encouraging we wanted to share it with you. For context, the Daily Devotions were addressing... Read more

Can Prayer Really Move a Mountain?

Last updated on: October 12, 2017 at 8:01 am By Mark Driscoll

Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is... Read more

Did People in the Old Testament Expect Jesus to Come and Die for Their Sin?

Last updated on: October 12, 2017 at 8:01 am By Mark Driscoll

I recently had a new Christian from a home that was culturally but not religiously Jewish ask me if the people in the Old Testament expected Jesus to come and die for their sin. The rest of this blog is what I shared with him in our brief conversation as he only had a few minutes to talk. The Bible clearly foreshadowed that Jesus would come as Servant and Messiah who would die for our sins. Perhaps the clearest Old... Read more

Is the Bible Anti-Jewish?

Last updated on: October 12, 2017 at 8:01 am By Mark Driscoll

“So that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.” Matthew 23:35 In this passage Jesus issues one of his strongest indictments in the Gospels, telling the scribes and Pharisees that upon them will “come all the righteous blood shed on earth.” This verse is controversial as it brings harsh judgment upon Jewish...

You Are Invited to Pastors School

Each had wisdom where I needed to learn, and were kind enough to let me follow them around to observe and listen. As a... Read more

How Did Jesus Teach the Bible?

Last updated on: October 12, 2017 at 8:01 am By Mark Driscoll

Imagine you were in a coma and awoke after many years. What’s the first thing you would do? Whatever that thing is, it would reveal your passions, your pleasures, and your priorities. If you picked up the phone and called a pizza company, that would tell us something about you. If you ran home and hugged your mom, that would tell us something about you.
