Did think you were here to kill time listening to Christian music until you go to heaven? We've got work to do.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Who you think you are is what compels you to do what you do!
Mark Driscoll
Image
Our identity is not in our joy, and our identity is not in our suffering. Our identity is in Christ, whether we have joy or are suffering.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Forgiveness is both a decision and a process.
Mark Driscoll
Image
On the Sabbath day, we are remembering that my relationship with God did not begin with what I've done, it is not sustained by what I do, and it is not guaranteed to the end by my effort or work. I'm saved from beginning to end by Jesus' work.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Everyone is sinning, so it's no longer rebellious to sin. You're just a conformist if you're drunk and naked driving around in a loud motorcycle smoking cigarrettes breaking commandments getting pregnant out of wedlock. Everyone's done that. That's so tired!
Mark Driscoll
Image
I'll preach anywhere. If it's a round trip ticket to preach in hell, I'll take it-as long as it's round trip.

Being single is not easy. But neither is being married. They are just difficult in different ways as God uses everything in our life to make us more like Jesus, who happened to live a perfect life while single.

I am not ashamed of the Gospel.
Mark Driscoll

The church was custom built by Jesus, and we are all works in progress. We do not expect people to get their sin in order before attending church any more than a hospital expects people to get healed before they show up.

Image
Fear is not always a sin but it always is an opportunity.
Mark Driscoll
Image
The Bible is not a book of principles to live by but rather a Person to live for.
Mark Driscoll
Image
You can't meet Jesus and not change. If you haven't changed, you haven't met the real Jesus.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Much of spirituality today is an effort to change God to suit us. But he's not going to become more like us, we need to become more like him.
Mark Driscoll
Image
Ultimately I think the difference between reading the Bible and studying it is making the connections between who Jesus is and what he's done.
Mark Driscoll
Image
So I decided to start a church, for three reasons. First, I hated going to church and wanted one I liked, so I thought I would just start my own. Second, God had spoken to me in one of those weird charismatic moments and told me to start a church. Third, I am scared of God and try to do what he says.

Past: Jesus saved us from the penalty of sin. Present: He saves us from the power of sin. Future: He will save us from the presence of sin.

Everyone has something to teach you if you are humble enough to learn.

There are some women who are a good time and there are some women who are a good legacy.

Any religious person who says he does not really need human friends because God is his Friend is calling God a liar because He's the One Who says we also need human friends.
