Baptisms are coming up again this Sunday. It is really a work of the Holy Spirit that compels a believer to be baptized. Through baptism we are expressing that our old life has passed and we are born again in Spirit (John 3:5-6). In the above video Henry explains how the impact of Christ’s sacrifice [...]

I rejoice to hear that Christ has run away with your young love, and that you are, so early in the morning, matched with such a Lord; for a young man is often a dressed lodging for the devil to dwell in. Be humble and thankful for grace, and judge it not so much by weight, as by its truth. Christ will not cast water on your smoking coal; he never yet put out a dim candle that was light-ed at the Sun of Righteousness.
I recommend to you prayer and watching over the sins of your youth; for I know that missive letters go between the devil and young blood. Satan has a friend at court in the heart of youth; and there pride, luxury, lust, revenge, and forgetfulness of God are hired as his agents. Happy is your soul if Christ man the house, and take the keys himself, and command all (as it suits him full well to rule all wherever he is). Keep and entertain Christ well; cherish his grace; blow upon your own coal, and let him tutor you.
Now, for myself, know that I am fully agreed with my Lord. Christ has put the Father and me in each other’s arms. Many a sweet bargain he made before, and he has made this among the rest. I reign, as king, over my crosses; I will not flatter a temptation, nor give the devil a good word; I defy hell’s iron gates. God has passed over my quarreling against him at my entry here, and now he feeds and feasts with me. Praise, praise with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Mars Hill Church, We’re two weeks in as a church and I can’t tell you how excited I am for what God has been doing. It was an incredible sight to see the men in the church pray over their wives, fiances, and significant others – many for the first time. I could hear some women around [...]
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. (1 Corinthians 13:11 ESV) What does it mean to be a man? Is it about the car you drive, the job you have, or the clothes [...]
From the January 22 sermon “Friend with Benefits,” preached by Pastor Mark Driscoll: God the Trinity is a friend and has friends, and he made us in his image and likeness for friendship with him and one another. Marriage is about friendship. Your spouse is to be your “lover and friend” (Song 5:16); in other [...]

by Pastor Donovan Medina My wife’s name is Molly, and I still remember the first time I saw her. She was walking in a large crowd. She stood out taller and more beautiful than all who stood around her. However, there was one slight problem. She was walking with her boyfriend. So, with much self-control, I [...]
Every Sunday, we have over 300 children come through our doors to worship Jesus with over 80 volunteers every Sunday at Mars Hill Ballard. Our mission at Mars Hill Church is to make disciples that make disciples, and that starts at a very young age. In this video, David Ginn, the Deacon of Mars Hill [...]
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. ” Genesis 2:24 Tonight, with ten inches of snow on the ground and a list in his hand, my husband, Jon, set out for supplies. Granted, we needed milk for the kids, but his biggest [...]

In the holiday season it can be troubling for some of us who have lost loved ones. The season can bring joy as well as memories from loved ones who are no longer with us. I pray this may serve as some comfort to you during this season. One of my favorite pastors once said that [...]
