The angel reveals how we are to see Jesus. We are not to insert him into a false ideology, such as atheism, deism, pantheism or panentheism, or theism; these offer no hope, no good news, and no savior. Rather, we are to praise Jesus as the Savior, Christ the Lord—good news for all the people—like the angels, Mary, and the shepherds did.

He answers seven common questions about the incarnation of Jesus Christ (that is, when God became flesh and entered into human history) and shares how we can have comfort and encouragement because Jesus is like us, Jesus is unlike us, and he came to make us like him.

We can learn from seven aspects of his greatness—including that he was a Spirit-filled evangelist who humbly prepared the way for Jesus. He avoided adolescence and thus is a great example of what it means to be a real man. Real men are creators and cultivators, not childish consumers, cowards, or complainers.

From her song, we are encouraged to replace worrying and coveting with worshiping, and replace anxiety with history. Even though Mary has plenty to worry about, she worships God because God has “done great things for [her].” Pastor Mark Driscoll Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:04:24 -0700 http://download.marshillchurch.org/media/2009/10/25/20091025_marys-song_vodcast_video.m4v http://www.marshillchurch.org Pregnant Mary walks many miles to visit pregnant Elizabeth so they can share in each other’s joy and be in community together. The baby in Elizabeth’s womb, John the Baptizer, leaps for joy when he hears Mary’s greeting, and Elizabeth prophesies that Mary is blessed. Thus, we see that a baby in the womb is indeed a baby, that children are a blessing from God, and that abortion is murder. We all, through sin, have bloody hands as murderers of Jesus, but he offers his nail-scarred hands—life for life—to save us. He died in our place for our sin, and the proper response is faith and worship, as exemplified by Mary, Elizabeth, and John.

She was a teenager from a small town; a virgin, pledged to be married to Joseph. The angel Gabriel showed up and told Mary that she found favor, or grace, with God. She would conceive and give birth to the Son of God, for nothing is impossible with God. Mary responded in faith, “I am the servant of the Lord,” and thus is our great example of faith.

Then, after 400 years of silence, during the time of Herod “the great,” in the city of Jerusalem, at the Temple, we meet Zechariah, a priest, and his wife, Elizabeth. They were old, barren, poor, and righteous. Zechariah wasn’t a big deal; he was no one from nowhere doing, in the sight of the world, nothing. He was finally picked to go inside the Temple and burn incense, representing our prayers to God. While inside, the angel Gabriel appeared to Zechariah and told him that his prayer was answered and he would have a son who would be great. The baby, John (meaning “God is gracious”), is named by God and filled with the Spirit from his mother’s womb. But Zechariah did not believe the angel, so he was made mute. The couple returned home, Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she stayed home, praising God for taking away her reproach, or shame and disgrace, among the people.

In modern church circles worship has become identified almost exclusively with music performed and sung in church services. When we look to scripture we see that this is a tragic reduction of the biblical idea of worship which spans from Genesis to Revelation and encompasses all of life. Worship is the continuous outpouring of all humanity for better or for worse; for God glorifying worship or self glorifying idolatry. Before we can establish practical, God glorifying corporate worship in our churches we must first think biblically about the larger theological context of this defining issue. If we fail to do this we create an idol out of the very thing we are intending glorify God. Pastor Tim Smith speaks about the larger context of worship and how it relates to the world around us in culture. This message came from the Resurgence: Continuous Worship conference fall 2007.

Pastor Mark Driscoll finishes out our sermon series, Religion Saves and 9 Other Misconceptions by answering the question, "do you believe that the Scripture not only regulates our theology but also our methodology? In other words, do you believe in the regulative principle? If so, to what degree? If not, why not?"

One of the newer types is called "emerging", which really just means that they're into "conversations" and, sometimes, wacky theology. Pastor Mark Driscoll addresses the topic of the 'emerging church' in his sermon answering the question, "What can traditional/established churches learn from "emerging" churches?" This is the eighth sermon in a nine week series, Religion Saves and 9 Other Misconceptions.

Do we need to do good work to justify ourselves before God or does Jesus justify us to good works? That is the question that literally split the Catholic church during the Protestant reformation, and the one poised before Pastor Mark Driscoll as he continues the series Religion Saves and 9 Other Misconceptions by answering, "If salvation is by faith alone (Romans 3:28), then why are there so many verses that say or imply the opposite, namely that salvation is by works (James 2:24, Matthew 6:15 & 7:21, Galatians 5:19-21)?"
