Here is an extended snippet where Driscoll gives a smackdown to ‘Boys who can shave’ – that is – they have failed to make the step from child to man. Some of you may be put off by Driscoll’s hyperbolic rhetoric or even think he’s clutching at straws in making this point from this passage [...]
09.24Filfthy Roman Sponge
I watched Mark Driscoll’s first sermon in the new Mars Hill 3 year series on Luke’s Gospel. Driscoll basically set the context from Luke 1:1-4 for the book of Luke and the rest of the series to come. The final 5 minutes of the sermon were particularly moving:
“It is finished”
EDIT: My friend, Marty, has left [...]
Here’s a new free eBook from Mark Driscoll, Pastor Dad. “Every dad is a pastor. The important thing is that he is caring for his flock well. This book by Pastor Mark Driscoll looks at the ways that a father can raise his children well.” I just became a dad, I’ve had a quick skim, [...]
02.16We Are A Movement
This is an encouraging lecture that Mark Driscoll gave at a recent Acts 29 Bootcamp. It’s interesting to hear the progression from Movement > Organisation > Institution > Museum. There are great insights into the vision of Acts 29 and how they are contending and contextualising the gospel.
Most exciting is seeing something of what God’s [...]

09.11Church Planting
I’ve been a bit discouraged by the number of nit-picking blog posts and comments during the last couple of weeks since Mark Driscoll’s visit to Australia. While the negative response of a number is discouraging, there is so much that’s encouraging!!
In the last couple of weeks I’ve spoken to so many people who are fired-up [...]
Burn Your Plastic Jesus saw 10,000 peeps on Wednesday night at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. Mark Driscoll spent a big chunk of time doing the smack down on 7 false views on Jesus, and then showed from the Bible the Real Jesus.
There was a great buzz around the gathering and MD rocked the suburbs better [...]
Mark Driscoll spoke yesterday afternoon at Moore Theological College. He spoke on Gospel Proclamation (1 Corinthains 9:16-18) and Gospel Contextualisation (1 Corinthians 9:19-22). It was GOLD! He didn’t pull any punches in his critique of Sydney Anglican/ Moore College culture, yet he was forthright in his praise of the commitment the College and Diocese has [...]
08.27Sick of Religion?
Last night was the second night of Driscoll on the Coast. Jon Baldwin, Mike McCarthy and Nicole Walkinshaw did a great job with music. Mark Driscoll spoke on Sick of Religion? The talk on Monday night was for Christians and this talk was a suitable one to bring friends to hear.
He spoke with great humour [...]

I’m looking forward to Mark Driscoll’s visit to Australia in August 2008. Driscoll speaks about Jesus more than most preachers and I’m thankful to God for the way He has worked through him in Seattle and more broadly through the internet.
I’ve been getting a stack of people landing on my site (see bottom for the [...]
