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”

The second best book to read | Jesus All About Life
The best book to read is the Bible. Hands down. But I think I’ve recently discovered the best book, after the Bible, to read. Over the last 10+ years I’ve been recommending books to teenagers, to help them get to know who Jesus is and what it means to follow him. My top three were the John Dickson trilogy for teenagers: A Sneaking Suspicion; A Hell of a Life; and Hanging in There. Now, don’t get me wrong – JD’s books still rock the suburbs, seriously. But they are starting to date and we need more good books that will help to introduce young people to the real life that is found only in Jesus.
Introducing, Jesus All About Life by Murray Smith. This book is now my number 1 recommendation to teenagers (closely followed by JD’s trio). It’s brilliant! Murray, one of the Pastor’s at Kirkplace Church, is a really smart dude. So he knows his gear. Yet he writes in an informal and teenage friendly style, without trying to be a teenager!

Moore College Open Day 2009
Moore College is the best theological school I’ve been to. Thinking about studying at a Bible college? Come along to the Spring Carnival and Open Day this Saturday (26th September, 930am-230pm). Check out the digs, ask questions, meet some peeps.
Jesus: Connections for Life
Jesus. All about Life – it has started and it’s gaining momentum. Later this week the month-long television campaign will begin. Christians in the Media have produced a study guide and accompanying DVD that “tackles Jesus’ answer to each of the issues raised by the TV commercial”.
Jesus: Connections for Life will prove to be a useful tool. Christians can be better equipped to know how to respond to questions their friends may have in response to the TV commercials. Likewise, the material could be used in a small group or lounge room of friends interested in hearing more about Jesus. The short responses in the booklet are readable and to the point. There are real life stories at the beginning of each session on the DVDs. The talks from Revelation are clear, engaging and effective in presenting Jesus as the one who offers everlasting life through his death and resurrection. Dominic Steele gives the following talks:
- Talk 1: Jesus is the Living One
- Talk 2: Jesus knows us and offers us life
- Talk 3: Life is all about Jesus
- Talk 4: Jesus All About Life
Get hold of this material – sooner rather than later – to make the most of JAAL campaign.
Who the heck is Jesus??? Start here: Saviour + King
Stay tuned for more JAAL coverage… Next: The 2nd best book to read
Visual Twitter 01
dmdc has previously featured two regular photographic posts: friday foto + snapshot. What’s next? Wait for it. Visual Twitter. Here’s the deal: every week or two (or three) I’ll post a collage of pictures that I have uploaded via twitter. Kinda like a visual summary of the tweets from that week(s). Not a visual learner? Follow all the action in text.
