Thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing me the honor of helping you learn God's word.

Pastor Mark Driscoll here from Real Faith.

Happy to report.

We're now seeing over a billion impressions a year staggering as God's word is going faster and further than ever.

I'm really excited to help you learn the scriptures, and if you would

do me a favor, click on the link below, or go to realfaith.com slash donate, give a gift of any amount,

and help me get Bible teaching to someone who needs it and hasn't yet heard it. Well, howdy to our

first vintage Jesus lecture. Very glad to have

you all with us. What I'm going to do is pray briefly because I need it. And then we'll get right to

work. Father God, thank you so much for an opportunity to get into the Bible and to talk about

Jesus. And God, that's amazing that we have a God who speaks to us and he has come to

meet with us. And so Holy Spirit, you wrote the scriptures and you're here to teach us. Help me to

teach, help us to learn and help us to love Jesus in whose name we pray. All God's people said,

amen. Well, welcome to it. This is a class format. And just to give you a brief

introduction, back in 2007, I had the honor of co-authoring a book called Vintage Jesus with Dr. Gary

Bershears. I'm in the midst of rewriting it to do a 15th anniversary edition. And these lectures

will be the precursor to that.

So there'll be 12 lectures.

We'll deal with one topic at a time.

Some of the content will be revisited.

Some of it's going to be brand new, and I hope you'll enjoy it.

And that being said, as we get into it, think of questions you might have at the end, and we'll do some Q&A at the end for as much time as we've got left together.
