Every marriage has fears, foxes, and friends. Fears can break trust and intimacy, foxes are the seemingly small sins that sneak into a marriage and create disunity, and friends need to be there to hold a marriage in accountability and help each spouse love one another and Jesus more. 

Marriages crumble often because the husband and wife don?t communicate or take care of each other. In the Song of Songs, God gives us principles for married couples that will help keep them faithful to each other and satisfied with one another. Pastor Mark Driscoll preaches on some of these principles in The Peasant Princess: A Love Story from the Song of Songs. 

In the first sermon of the series, Pastor Mark Driscoll gives an introduction detailing the sexual sin that saturates our culture. Sex can be viewed as either a god, as gross, or a gift. The Bible teaches us that sex is a gift that is to be stewarded wisely. 

In John 17 we find Jesus praying that his people would find joy in the Spirit, mission to do His work, and unity to show His glory. This is a sermon that breaks down the petty differences that we focus on, and refocuses us on the all consuming glory of Christ. If we all look toward Christ for our lives?we will get joy, be compelled to mission, and be unified through our common passion. 

With the cross approaching, Jesus pauses in John 17 to pray his longest prayer in all of the Scriptures. Therein, we are privileged to listen to the inner dialogue of the Trinity as God the Son speaks to God the Father. This prayer is packed with deep theological and practical implications, such as faithfulness in trial, God?s goodness, the World, the elect, joy, and much more.

When Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, he was at the hardest point of his earthly life. In anguish, pain, and desperation we see God the Son pray to God the Father asking that God would take away the suffering he was about to experience, and ended his prayer with an essential phrase that every Christian must understand? ?not my will, but yours, be done?. We can pray and ask our Father for the things we desire, but at the end of the day we must understand that His will is what?s best for our joy and His glory. 

God is our Father. He?s our Dad. One thing that separates Christians from other religions is the fact that we believe God to be a loving Dad who we can pray to anytime and anywhere. Jesus talks about how we should pray with the Lord?s prayer, which Pastor Mark teaches us about in this sermon. 

Jesus' prayer life is the perfect example for us. Who, when, where and for whom did Jesus pray? Pastor Mark Driscoll teaches on how Jesus used prayer all through His life, and how we can model our own prayers after His.

Everyone is a worshiper. We all have people or things that we love, sacrifice for, and are our number one affection. The main question each person should answer is this?Do you worship created things, or the Creator? God deserves to be worshiped. He created everyone and everything. Our place as the creation is to worship our Creator.

Included here are some of the best questions and answers thus far in the Q&A series. 

At the literal crux of human history, Christ hangs on a tree. Jesus' death for our sins has become in some cases so commonplace that we miss the brutality of it, and at the same time we forget how it perfectly demonstrates the love of God for us. Pastor Mark Driscoll teaches about the Cross, including some aspects of what Jesus' death accomplished in this sermon from Doctrine - What Christians Should Believe. 

Should Christians wear crosses as a symbol of their covenant with God? Does the fact that Christians are in covenant with Jesus mean that we can sin all we want and be forgiven? Pastor Mark Driscoll answers these questions that were sent in during his sermon on Covenant during Doctrine - What Christians Should Believe. 

Jesus Christ came on a rescue mission to save us. He came to live the life that we couldn't and die the death we should.
