Well howdy, Pastor Mark Driscoll here, thank you for letting me help you learn God's word.

And if you want to learn more, go to Mark Driscoll.org.

I've got a weekly newsletter answering your questions, daily devotions, blogs that are Bible teaching in their

orientation and a small mountain of sermons going through lots of books of the

Bible. So join me at Mark Friskel.org and will help you learn even more of God's

word.

It is really fun to be here. I love you. I love your church and I'm really really honored and excited to be here and we are

live streaming back to the Trinity Church our home church back in Scottsdale Arizona

so how to eat to my kids that are watching back in Arizona we We're glad to do church and life with you

today and I'm here for four reasons all based in love. I love Jesus so I'm

really happy to open the Bible and talk about Jesus. Number two I love love

love, love James River Church. I've had the honor of being here many times over many years

Every time I come the church is growing more people are meeting Jesus more lives are being changed more campuses are being open more leaders are being changed, more campuses are being open,

more leaders are being raised up, and what you guys are doing,

for example with the preschool ministry is incredible

and I just want to honor God and I want to thank you for your faithfulness and

and this is just a great place and I'm honored to be here.

Thirdly, I am really someone who deeply loves the Lindel family. I love you guys.

We, I didn't grow up in a Christian home, I didn't see a family do ministry together, God's saved,

my mom, my dad, all my siblings, God's done a wonderful thing in our family,

but I brought my wife Grace because we love, respect, honor,
