Mark Driscoll

This Sunday, June 14th, by God’s grace and enabled by technology, I will be simultaneously preaching four sermons in eight locations scattered across two states. As I prepared these various sermons it dawned on me what a truly amazing day we live in for the proclamation of the gospel. At Mars Hill Ballard in Seattle, the four services there will be watching a video playback of a sermon on 2 Peter 2:1-10a, titled "Doctrine from False Teachers (Part 1)." At the other six Mars Hill campuses scattered in and around Seattle they will be watching a video playback of the sermon on 2 Peter 1:16-21, titled "Doctrine from True Teachers," captured the previous Sunday at Mars Hill Ballard. Simultaneously, I will be preaching two sermons live at the Crystal Cathedral in Southern California on Jesus as God and Jesus on the Cross (summarized from the book Death by Love), to be played back on television to millions of people around the world on the “Hour of Power” show. Additionally, these four sermons will also be online for viewing by tens of thousands of additional people. To consider the amazing multiplication effects of technology on the preaching of the Scriptures is mind-boggling and humbling. In it all, the words of 1 Corinthians 9:22-23 ring ever true, saying, “I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.” Please pray that I serve well, by God’s grace making much of Jesus. Please do also pray that God uses this combination of big opportunities to regenerate people as the Holy Spirit applies the gospel of Jesus Christ to them.
