Mark Driscoll was asked this question during question time in his sermon on “dating”. If you are a single man – watch the clip below to see his answer. If you are a single woman – watch it. If you are married – watch it so you can encourage your friends!
Driscoll says that the most under-represented demographic in churches are men in the 18-34 age bracket. Mars Hill Church invest much of their energy into reaching these men. In a culture and context where young “men” spend on average 2.5 hours on video games per day – it’s time to man up!
The sermon is very good – check it out on the Mars Hill Church website (it also has links on how to do it in iTunes)
Here are some more clips from the sermon and question time:
- Too young to date? (sweet answer – bolder than I’ve ever been with teenagers!!)
- Am I ready to date?
- Mars Hill Men Die
- Hook Up, Shack Up, Break Up
- The Bubble Suit
It was a good message. This topic is surely a must for our churches in Aus.
My daughter is only 2 and I’m already thinking about dating!!
BTW, my psator is Steve Reimer – he says he’s a mate of yours.
i think it was very good and agree that it’s a topic that we ought not just deal with in youth groups!!
i can remember hearing stuff on sexual immorality, marriage etc… but nothing on dating.
Steve’s a good guy. glad you can be part of church with him. How is it going?
