God sees everything you do. God knows the sacrifices you make, the ways you’re growing, the people you serve, the times you’re generous, and the impact you make. Read more
Let’s be honest, kids are a blessing and a burden, often wonderful and sometimes awful, and they do not come with a set of directions. If you are a parent (or grandparent, or caregiver), in a moment of frustration or futility you have likely asked yourself in some form or fashion, “What is the point of parenting?” or “How do I know if I’m doing a good or bad job with this child?” If only there was a bullseye for...

Pastor Mark Driscoll Colossians 2:6-15 In the tradition of epic ancient battles as depicted in movies like 300 along with The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings series, this section of Colossians reveals Jesus as a Warrior King who defeated Satan and Demons in a bloody battle. Through His victory, we have been set free from slavery to an awful king and kingdom of death, darkness, and despair. Furthermore, we have been welcomed by the wonderful King and Kingdom... Read more
With more songs sung to Him and books written regarding Him than anyone else who has ever lived, Jesus is the most admired man in all of history. But, God wants us to not only admire the life of Jesus, but also experience the same source of life-giving power that He did. The empowerment of Jesus through God the Holy Spirit is repeatedly stressed in the Gospel of Luke. There we find that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit... Read more
When considering taking a job, the first factor that usually grabs our attention is the pay. Good paying jobs are hard to come by and provide a security and standard of living that is hard to pass up. But, there are hidden costs in every job. The commute can be rough, the hours can be long, and the stress can be high. Some jobs also require a lot of travel. Anyone who has travelled much knows that flying is fraught... Read more
“…he is my lover, my friend.” – A wife speaking of her husband in Song of Songs 5:16 Looking back on our twenty-five years of marriage we can see how our relationship moved from being fun to being functional. Work largely consumed me. Grace was working full-time, and then after having our first child, stayed at home to take care of the home and our family which grew to include five children. We worked on most everything else first, and... Read more
Evil marches over good while brutal bullies are laughing and their victims are languishing. To make matters worse, the cultural corruption has overtaken the government, court system, and lawmen who were supposed to serve as the dike holding back the flood of evil. Sound familiar? History is a cul-de-sac every generation drives around. Tucked in the Old Testament is a little book called Habakkuk. It’s written by a guy facing the same troubles as today and rather than ranting, he... Read more
In our culture today, there are three marriage killers: casual dating, cohabitation, and contractual thinking. In this sermon, those errors are corrected with the biblical concept of covenant. What does it mean to have a covenant relationship with God? What does it mean to have a covenantal relationship with other people, especially a spouse? This sermon reveals that our entire culture has a flawed and faulty view of marriage and needs a complete overhaul for marriages to flourish. Read more
“…Be filled with the Spirit.” Ephesians 5:18 Jesus grew from infancy to adulthood, lived among a family, worked a job, ate meals, increased His knowledge through learning, told jokes, attended funerals, had male and female friends, celebrated holidays, went to parties, loved His mom, felt the pain of betrayal and lies told about Him, and experienced the full range of human emotions from stress to astonishment, joy, compassion, and sorrow. Furthermore, Jesus experienced the same sorts of trials and temptations... Read more
