Winter’s a killer. When times are as hard as they are now, the added cost of keeping warm can force a family to choose between basic necessities and the power bill. When members of Jason Needham’s community group learned of a family in such a situation, they saw an opportunity to show Christ’s love in [...]
In Genesis 3:15, we see the first mention of the atonement where God proclaims of the seed of the woman, “he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” This is a contrast of the Cross of Christ and the suffering of Satan, ordained by God. In other words, Jesus crushed the head of Satan, as Satan bruised Christ’s heel. The bruised heel of Jesus happened at the Cross in contrast to the utter defeat of Satan at the Cross (1 John 3:8).
by Ryan Edwards Two Sundays ago in Ballard, those who arrived late risked having to stand through the service. Throughout the sanctuary, people repositioned themselves to accommodate all of the visitors who crowded the seats. Even Pastor Mark was sitting rather than preaching that week, leaving the pulpit to theologian Dr. John Piper, who preached live [...]
A friend linked me to this great article about “The Daddening of Video Games” by Stephen Totilo at kotaku.com, and it got me pondering the daddy issues (in the case of Bioshock 2, BIG Daddy issues) prevalent in culture. A while back I blogged on the emerging Daddy trend in movies and – as if there was any [...]

People have asked why is the church so interested in numbers and I always answer, “actually, we’re interested in Jesus and the numbers help give us insight into where people’s hearts are inline with Jesus.” So, yes we look at numbers, but we look at them so that we can continue to focus everyone to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. I could write on about the numbers that are hard to accept, but really what I want to speak about are the numbers that continue to reveal the obvious evidence of God’s grace at Mars Hill Bellevue.
For a long time, John Piper has meant a lot to me. It isn’t because he’s a great speaker or because he’s one of the greatest theologians of our day. It’s because he is continually and passionately pointing others to love and worship the God of the universe. In November of 2004, I heard John Piper [...]
How come I haven't heard anything about Re:Sound in a while?
It all boils down to the tension between music as a business and music as a corporate worship ministry rooted in the local church. To say these issues are complicated is an understatement, and we would seriously appreciate your prayer moving forward.
In the meantime we are excited to announce the release of Silent Night, a Mars Hill Christmas album, featuring my band Ex Nihilo. We recorded seven classic Christmas songs put to new arrangements about three years ago. Mars Hill has been enjoying this project, and we are anxious to share it with you. My band and I also went into the studio last month and recorded a new arrangement of “What Child Is This,” and we are giving this song away for free. Check out ReSound.org to link to the album, download the free bonus track, and learn more about the project.
Let me know what you think and if you have any questions on Facebook or Twitter.
Merry Christmas!!!
