- 145Habakkuk #4 - From Routine to Real Relationship With GodAfter you have cried to God, freaked out a bit, and begged God what do you do when the future you were fearing becomes the life you are living? That is precisely the pain of Habakkuk. In the final chapter of his tear soaked book, we discover 3 things that God uses to move us from routine to real relationship – prayer, Bible study, and worship. In this very practical sermon, we will examine how to really pray, really study, and really worship by getting out of our routine relationship with God and entering into a real relationship with God. Some of us don’t do these 3 things, and others of us need to learn to do them in a fresh way to grow our faith.
- 146Satan, Demons, and ZombiesA special Halloween message by Pastor Mark Driscoll preached live at The Trinity Church on Sunday October 30, 2016.
- 147The Boy Who Is Lord #1 - The Truth About JesusThis week we begin our two-month holiday sermon series, The Boy Who is Lord. Together, we will explore the first two chapters of Luke. This week Pastor Mark introduces us to the Luke and the incredible historical research he undertook to uncover the truth about Jesus Christ.
- 148The Boy Who Is Lord #2 - The Silence BreaksThis week, as the historical details surrounding the entrance of God into human history as Jesus Christ unfolds, we are introduced to some rich personalities. Herod is the definition of pride and power. Elizabeth and Zechariah are the picture of humility and integrity. And, God works through natural means (the dice roll in Zechariah’s favor) and supernatural means (sending the angel Gabriel) to accomplish his will. All of this is to set the stage for the coming of John the Baptizer who leads the parade preparing the people for the coming of his cousin Jesus.
- 149The Boy Who Is Lord #3 - The Girl Who Raised GodThis week, we meet a young, poor, and rural engaged couple that were chosen by God to be the parents of Jesus Christ. We see a pattern in their life of receiving a word from God, bringing Jesus home, and accepting God’s will for our life especially when it varies from our dream for our life.
- 150The Boy Who Is Lord #4 - The Family ReunionThis week, we see Mary and Elizabeth meet for the first time as pregnant women. Mary is young, unmarried, and carrying Jesus in her womb. Her relative, Elizabeth, is old, married, and carrying John the Baptizer in her womb. Mary makes the roughly 100-mile journey to see Elizabeth, and upon meeting amazing things happen. John is filled with Spirit, as is his mother, and they worship the unborn Jesus. Furthermore, we see that Dr. Luke the author, guided by the Holy Spirit, clearly speaks of life beginning in the womb and God saving and calling people even from their mother’s womb.
- 151The Boy Who Is Lord #5 - Worshipping Instead of WorryingAs a single, pregnant, poor teenager from a small rural town who is betrothed to be married but a hundred miles away from home without any indication that her parents are involved in her life, Mary has a lot she could be worried about. But, rather than worrying, she spends her time worshipping. In so doing, she reminds herself who God is and why she can trust him for the future of herself and her unborn baby, Jesus. In so doing, she serves as an example for everyone in stressful, fearful, and anxious situations how to replace worrying with worshipping.
- 152The Boy Who Is Lord #6 - The Greatest Man Who Ever LivedAfter years of praying, weeping, and waiting, the elderly and barren Elizabeth rejoices at the birth of her son, John. His name means God is gracious and was chosen by the angel Gabriel. In response, John’s father Zechariah ends his nine months of muteness by blessing God in worship. The entire scene is one of great joy and life as the Holy Spirit fills Zechariah to prophecy over the life of his son who was chosen to prepare the way for the coming of Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God. A bit further into Luke’s gospel, and we hear Jesus saying that John was the greatest person (besides Himself) who has lived in the history of the world. His brief six months of public ministry literally changed the world because God’s power was at work in and through him.
- 153The Boy Who Is Lord #8 - The Glorious Announcement for an Unlikely AudienceAt the Trinity Church on Christmas Morning 2017, Pastor Mark Driscoll teaches us a sermon entitled, "The Glorious Announcement for an Unlikely Audience"
- 154My Old School Interview with R.C. SproulTheologian R.C. Sproul has recently passed away. Many years ago, I had the honor of sitting down to interview him about theology, his beloved wife, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the fact that he'd never been on the Internet, seen Facebook, or sent an email. We dug up the old interview and hope you enjoy it.
- 155John #1 - Start with Jesus to Understand GodWho knows you best? When Jesus walked the earth, he had a best friend named John. John was an eyewitness to Jesus entire ministry, and no one knew Jesus better than John. Long after Jesus had returned to heaven, the other disciples had all died, and the last eyewitnesses to Jesus’ were reaching the end of their life, John sat down to write about his best friend and Lord, Jesus Christ. At breakneck speed that strains human understanding, John starts by telling us that Jesus is our Eternal God, Creator God, Polarizing God, Savior God, Human God, Only God, and Relational God. Why? Because if you want to understand who God is you have to start with Jesus!
- 156John #2 - Start with Jesus to Understand YourselfHow do we really come to understand ourselves? That question, perhaps more than any other, dominates our thinking as we use personality tests and other tools to discover the mystery that is me. There is a man named John the Baptizer whom Jesus called the greatest man who has ever lived. People tried to figure out who John was, and he said that the only way to really understand oneself is to first understand Jesus. In that day, like ours, many people were making the mistake of looking at themselves too much and looking at Jesus too little. If you want to understand who you are, the first thing you need to understand is who Jesus is.
- 157John #3 - Start with Jesus to Understand God's Will for Your LifeHow do you discover God’s will for your life? Jesus first disciples had jobs they worked and a life course they had plotted. All of that changed, however, when Jesus came along and asked them to follow Him. The same is true for Jesus’ followers today. By understanding who Jesus is and what life in relationship with Him looks like, you too can begin to uncover God’s will for your life and walk with Jesus.
- 158John #4 - Start with Jesus to Understand God's KingdomDo you ever wonder what eternity will be like? Have the cartoonish images of diaper wearing chubby baby cherubs sitting on fluffy clouds playing harps forever got you less than excited for eternity? The truth is that Jesus’ miracles revealed His eternal Kingdom. His first miracle was making wine at a wedding party which will likely upend a lot of what you have wrongly been told heaven will be like.
- 159John #5 - Religious People Need JesusJesus showed up at the Temple, got angry, made a whip, and started sending money flying and people running? Why? Because the religious leaders did not care about worship, Jesus, or relationships. This week Jesus the Lamb turns into Jesus the Lion for some good reasons we will study together.
- 160John #6 - Spiritual People Need JesusWhat happens when a theology professor sits down to have a deep conversation with Jesus? They end up having a late-night mental boxing match about what it means to be “born again”. Jesus tells the Bible scholar that, in effect, you can memorize books of the Bible, tithe generously to the Lord, live a moral life, believe in God, and sit in church every week until you die and have your funeral in a church and still go to hell if you are not born again by the Holy Spirit. Prepare for a brain cramp in this sermon…
- 161John #7 - Successful People Need JesusThis is a face-melting sermon about the repentance of sin, humility in ministry, Kingdom of God as the only alternative to the dumpster fire that is culture, and the wrath of God which is meted out by Jesus Christ as the King of both Heaven and Hell!
- 162John #8 - Miserable People Need JesusIn one of the most moving and loving scenes in the whole Bible, Jesus sits down with a rejected and dejected woman. In one conversation, her life changes from miserable to wonderful and God wants to sit down and do the same for you!
- 163John #9 - Sick People Need JesusWith a little boy on his deathbed, his daddy hears that Jesus is traveling nearby and jumps on a horse riding as fast as he can, hoping for a miracle. Frantic, the father begs Jesus to heal his son. Jesus promises that the boy will be healed, and in faith the father heads home to see his boy healed. This is Jesus’ first healing miracle in John’s gospel and in this sermon Pastor Mark answers the most common questions about healing.
- 164John #10 - Do You Want To Be Healed?Have you ever felt wrecked, broken, and stuck? One man who had been crippled for thirty-eight years felt the same way. Jesus healed him, and then tells us that one day He will heal all who believe in Him! You too need the hope, help, and healing that only Jesus can give.
- 165John #11 - 5 Witnesses to JesusA man had been an invalid for thirty-eight years until Jesus healed him. Upset that Jesus healed on the Sabbath and commanded the man to carry his mat, the religious leaders began what became a few years of persecution that culminated at the cross. In the Bible, it is common to require two or three witnesses to establish a fact (e.g. Deut. 19:15). In defending Himself, Jesus brought forth no less than five witnesses that we examine in detail that proved that Jesus is God! - Jesus healed a man crippled for 38 years - Religious upset Jesus A). healed on the Sabbath B). pick up his mat & walk - The man sent the religious leaders to Jesus & they began “persecuting” - Religious spirit – judgmental, unteachable, domineering, non-relational, critic not a coach - 2-3 witnesses (Dt 19:15)
- 166John #12 - Jesus Feeds the Five ThousandWhat happens when a little boy hands his lunch box to Jesus? He multiplies it to feed a multitude. Learn more about our King Jesus and His Kingdom today in one of most beloved Bible stories of all time.
- 167Jesus Is Alive - Easter 2018Easter 2018 message by Pastor Mark Driscoll preached live at The Trinity Church on Sunday April 1, 2018.
- 168John #13 - Jesus Walks on WaterLife is filled with storms – financial, physical, emotional, spiritual, relational etc. In a storm, you become exhausted and overwhelmed. In just such a storm, Jesus walked on water to bring His peace and presence to His people. In response, Peter took a step of faith and also walked on water until fear began to sink him. Learn to find Jesus in your storm and walk by faith rather than sink into fear.
